Hublot's history
1980, Carlo Crocco founds his own company and creates the Hublot watch in gold. It is fitted with the first natural black rubber strap in the history of watchmaking.
In the mid-90s, rubber became the focus of interest for the top watchmaking brands. Hublot remains one of the last independent family-run watchmaking businesses with a unique mono-product concept. Around this material, Hublot extends its range to include a vast array of collections, some featuring sports complications.
Late 2003,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Carlo Crocco, preoccupied by his own design work and many activities for the Hand-in-Hand Foundation, a charity helping deprived children all around the world, is looking for his successor. He meets Jean-Claude Biver.
May 2004, Jean-Claude Biver assumes his duties as CEO. He reinvents the DNA of Hublot by going back to its roots. Jean-Claude Biver relaunches the "Fusion" concept, the Fusion of sometimes unlikely materials such as gold and ceramic, tantalum and pink gold,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and even magnesium and titanium, and the Fusion between the Swiss Watchmaking Tradition and the Watchmaker's Art in the 21st century, all the while preserving the unique, timeless design of Hublot watches.
In April 2005, Jean-Claude Biver sets up a new collection that is presented in Basel with the Hublot "Big Bang" chronograph, an illustration of the Fusion concept. It scoops the "2005 Design Prize", the "Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the "Sports Watch Prize" at the "Watch of the Year" ceremony in Japan, and the Middle Eastern Prize for the "Best Oversized Watch" at the Editor's Choice "Watch of the Year" in Bahrain.
June 2006,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jean-Claude Biver founds a television channel on the web, Hublot TV, the first ever channel to be founded by a luxury brand.
February 2007, Hublot opens its first mono-brand store in Paris, Rue Saint-Honoré. The second opens in the summer, in the Hôtel Byblos, Saint-Tropez.
March 2007, a brand new Big Bang diver is born; it's the third version in term of size: the Big Bang King has an oversized bezel of 48mm, but fits remarkably well big and small wrists!
October 2007, Hublot presents its first entirely built in house Big Bang: the Mag Bang, an illustration of the 3 M's for mono-material, monochrome and mat.
November 2007 This same watch receives the first prize for best technological innovation at the “Middle East Watches, Jewellery & Pens Awards 2007”. Almost simultaneously, in Switzerland this time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hublot is rewarded in the category ‘Jewellery Watch' at the “Grand Prix of Geneva” for the watch named ‘One Million $ BB'.
In the future, with the incredible development of the brand and the construction of a new factory, the company should grow from 70 to 150 employees within 2 years.
