  • Catalogue Essay

    'This is not a left-handed watch. The All Black does not need to be introduced, rather for me, I wanted to invert the chronograph buttons so that they are fitted to the left-hand side of the case, making the watch very useful and easy to operate for the right-handed collectors. Having the chronograph buttons on the left-hand side of the case, the thumb adds better pressure and it is more natural to use the thumb to operate the chronograph anyway. The chronograph mechanism has also been reversed starting the mechanism from the bottom pusher and resetting it by the top. The watch was introduced in 2007 for the Paris boutique, which was the first Hublot boutique anywhere in the world.'

  • Artist Biography

    Hublot

    Swiss • 1980

    Hublot was founded by Carlo Crocco in 1980 and named after the French word for "porthole," which resembles their iconic bezel design. Hublot's first watch followed three years of research and was the first wristwatch to be fitted with a natural rubber strap. The brand's most recognizable watch today is the 'Big Bang', which was first launched in 2005 upon the arrival of CEO and shareholder Jean-Claude Biver. Other noteworthy models are the 'Classic Fusion' and 'King Power'.
