Luxury watch brands have over the years had many successful nautical design references, for example the Corum Admiral's Cup range and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, so the connections between watch design and that of the maritime world have often inspired the creation of imaginative timepieces.
The Hublot watches brand was founded in 1980 by Carlo Crocco. Design inspiration for his watches came from the porthole of a boat and the name Hublot is French for porthole. The Hublot Classic line featured twelve screws right through the bezel resulting in not only a watertight wristwatch, but also dispensed with the need for hour markers on the dial. This resulted in a distinctive pure understated design in its finished form. The strap was crafted from natural rubber, the design of which using steel fibres woven into the material made for a tactile yet extremely durable and comfortable feature.
Hublot were not considered to be a watch brand who played it safe in the design department, never more so in 2005 with the release of their most striking and innovative piece yet. With a new CEO at the helm in the form of Jean-Claude Biver, the burberry watches launched themselves to the forefront of visionary design when they unveiled the astonishing graham watches. Still using the porthole design synonymous with the Hublot brand, the Big Bang featured six screws through the bezel. The use of rubber was still in evidence but it was now combined with an incredible array of other cutting-edge materials including ceramic, titanium. carbon fibre, aluminium and tungsten. These combined with red gold, white gold and stainless steel in a glorious fusion of the traditional and the futuristic. No surprise then that this awesome wristwatch became a prize-winner collecting such awards as the prestigious "2005 Design Prize" in the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix.
The rado watches became stunning example in the genre of the high-end luxury sports watch and further models received endorsements from within the world of sport. One highly desirable piece, the Hublot Big Bang Ayrton Senna Limited Edition Flyback Rattrapante Chronograph is a fine example of such a watch. Limited to 500 pieces this spectacular watch is created in a black ceramic case, with steel detail and a signed transparent exhibition case back on a signed black rubber strap. This is truly a stunning men's wristwatch created as a tribute to Ayrton Senna the three times World F1 Champion.
The Hublot Big Bang Ayrton Senna Chronograph is a dramatic design, the almost completely black dial features skeletal steel hands and the boldly contrasting Ayrton Senna signature in red. It has 30 minute chrono counter at the 3 o'clock position, power reserve between the 6 and 7 and decentralised small seconds at the 9. References to Ayrton Senna's Brazilian nationality of which he was fiercely proud are shown in the subtle but vibrant use of the Brazilian colours with green/yellow on the case side and on the inside of the strap. This makes for a powerful combination along with the black rubber and ceramic construction.
In his lifetime Ayrton Senna was an extremely generous individual, donating large parts of his fortune over the years to help the poor people of Brazil especially children and young people. On his tragic death in 1994, this charitable work continued with the founding of the "Instituto Ayrton Senna" which continues to transform the lives of millions. In keeping with this spirit of generosity, Hublot have collaborated with the institution to create the Jacob & Co watches with part of the sale of these models contributing to these worthy causes.
Ayrton Senna was considered by many to be the greatest F1 driver ever and as a tribute piece the Hublot Big Bang Ayrton Senna Chronograph does not disappoint. The combination of quality of workmanship together with the use of cutting-edge materials make for an impressive wristwatch. Add to this the passion and depth of feeling that the name Ayrton Senna still evokes and you have a very special timepiece indeed.

Founded in 1980, Hublot has developed very quickly for their manufacture of splendid timepieces, which help the brand occupy a forefront place in the world famous Hublot watches industry. One prominent feature of Hublot watches that makes the brand different from other luxury watch brands, for example, hermes watches, lies in the materials used in manufacturing. Invicta watches were originally made of blushed steel and gold. Then in the years followed, it unveiled a new kind of timepieces that come with rubber strap. The high quality materials together with splendid designs have made the brand well received all over the world.
However, the genuine concord watches are priced so high that they are far beyond most people's reach. Therefore, most people turn to another alternative that can also meet their needs. That is the replica one. In recent years replica Hublot watches are gaining more and more popular with huge demands from the market. There are good and bad quality of replica watches in the market. The good quality replica Hublot watches are definitely best replicas of the authentic items in every small details.
They mirror every detail of the genuine ones, such as the smooth sweeping minute hand, the sporty looking bezel and the superior stamping. All these ensure that the timepieces look almost as identical as the original ones, even the best trained eyes would find it difficult to spot the difference, let alone those common people. Well, most people might be led into thinking that replica means inferior. It is not the case.They are created with the original technology and mirroring every detail of the design. You can be sure that you can buy one of the same quality as the original timepiece.
I've always loved the Hublot watches collection. In my eyes every Hublot Big Bang watch is truly luxury piece that combines charming aesthetic design and reliable quality. This years, Hublot plays color magic on this collection. we are enchanted by the understated luxury of the longines watches and the seductive charm of the Hublot Apple Watches. And the color magic continues the romance on the new Hublot Black Pink Bang.
The model features an amazing contrast between black and pink. I believe no one will say no before such as beautiful creation. Sized at 41mm, the black ceramic case is adorned by a sparking bezel that composed of 48 pink baguette sapphires and 6 patented H-shaped countersunk. The sweet pink tone is also applied on lateral inserts, crown and pushers inserts. And this pieces is fitted with a pink alligator leather strap.
Another wonderful timepiece from Big Bang Collection is the iwc watches that play the bright contrast between black and acid yellow. The bezel is set with 48 yellow baguette sapphires and has 6 patented H-shaped countersunk. Like the black and pink, the yellow tone is used on lateral inserts, crown and pushers inserts. And Black Lemon comes with a matching yellow leather strap. Another perfect expression of the art of fusion of materials and colors.
Big Bang Black and Pink and Black Lemon can be regarded as sisters as the have the same case structure with sapphire crystal case back, the same matte black dial of high legibility and both use Hublot Calibre HUB4300. As a lady, of course, I love the romantic black and pink better. And the black lemon is not half bad as a perfect accessory for summer days.
One of the worlds most stunning investment watches is the Zenith watches. The Manufacturer, franck muller watches, was established back in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot. Georges was able to gather together a group of independant craftsmen into a bright new factory to produce some of the worlds best watches.
Whats special about the company is its history of producing very high quality movements for many other watch manufacturers, as well as for its own watches. The current factory is still on the same spot, in Le Locle, a small town between Basel and Geneve in Switzerland.
Recently, the ownership of the company has changed a number of times but the tradition of producing high quality unique mechanical, rolex milgauss, has continued. Over a century of watchmaking they have won over 1400 watchmaking awards, being over 90% of those awarded, for technical excellence. Their, sport chronograph watch, range has been supplied to various aviation and military customers as well as a number of expeditions over the many years of their production.
In the late 60's one of their most famous models, the "Skagen watches" were produced. As a mechanical watch, this achieved an engineering milestone, by being able to truly measure a time span of an incredible 1/10th of a second.
It takes 9 months work to make this watch, it requires 20 watchmakers, 5,500 operations and uses 18 different metals in the classic version. No wonder the production of this famous movement nearly came to an end in the mid 70's. When its then owner, proposed closing production of mechanical watches altogether, in favour of quartz watches, which could be produced much easier. Employees of the company at that time, secreted away the tooling and machinery to ensure production could start again, when a new owner took over. It is only because of the passion of the employees, that the, rolex daytona replica, can still be produced today. The cost to retool and re equip the factory would have been prohibitive.
Though no hard figures are available for the output from this boutique supplier, rumoured estimates of around 30,000 watches are produced by this factory each year, making it a substantial producer in the luxury watch market. What an addition to any enthusiasts collection. A highly precise mechanical instrument that future generations may lack the skill and tools to produce. Get one while you can!
