That's funny.

But I have a question, why is there so much hate against Hublot? I think that because of the exorbitant prices considering the mechanism they have, some of them are not even their own (Sellita). Is because of that?

I don't think it's because of their movements. They also have a lot of in house movements and a lot of other brands also just use sellita or eta. For me it's because they try to look like RM and AP but fail in every aspect.

But in which sense they fail? In which aspects and why? I mean, I don't underestand the beef, and I would like to.

But I think it's also because of the price. A Hublot Classic Fusion costs 7-10k€, but only has a Sellite SW300 movement in it. I mean, really?
I'm not a sucker for In-House movements as I think those standard movements are working fine and every watchmaker can work on them, but then the price of the watch should also reflect that choice.

The 3 hand classic fusion is 6,6k € and has a sellita movement yes. But so do a lot of watches from other brands like Breitling, IWC, Omega, Tudor, Chopard, Panerai etc..
These watches at least have their own unique designs. Hublot is a copycat of AP and RM.
