This is it guys, the final Basel report for this year.

By the end of this report, you would have seen just about every single novelty released by Hublot this year. Believe me, the pieces in this third report were pretty hard to find, as there are only one or two of each for the entire Hublot stand. A lot of the photos were actually taken in the vault!

So without further ado...

Aero Bang Orange:

and with the orange gummy croc:

Now let's move on to some very original creations by CHH (Confreries Horlogeres Hublot). These are basically creations by the ex-BNB watchmakers at Hublot.

First, we have the "Liberty", a time-telling object in the shape of a bullet. The mechanism is quite complex and uses a tourbillon. You can tell the time by looking at the center of the "screen" (two thin black lines indicate this; though they're barely visible in my photos).

Other variations:

IMG_3000.jpg



The other project from CHH is La Clef des Temps or "Key of Time". A fairly complex piece, it's unique features are more poetic than anything else. With this watch the wearer can basically increase or decrease the pace of time itself... at least on his watch anyway!

... and that sums up all the novelties this year.

I just want everyone to remember what the greatest achievement for Hublot was this year. It wasn't any of the watches posted, but rather these:

May the Fusion be with you.

I wonder how they will cope with the new movements, if they will try to replicate any due to the amount of Hublot interest or just leave in 7750's.

Nice to see inhouse movements, at least they can justify their prices... and make rep makers a harder job.
For the new models : many ugly things, what did they do to the Big Bang ?!

It also seem leather is more trendy on Hublots now, maybe we'll see some rep straps ;)

Some of these look like plastic toy watches. It will be more difficult for the replicators, though.

Thank you for the pics!

I can honestly say I'm not impressed at all by the New Hublot offerings except their new in-house movement, but still... most are ugly. :(

I wonder what Cartier and Franck Muller had to offer...

LOL owlpellet has spotted something!!

and we complain about our reps not having QC!!

LOOK AT THE King Power Manufacture Tourbillon

there is a screw missing from the top circle inside the dial.

AHAHAHA EPIC GARGANTUAN FAIL. the watch probably costs a house and is missing a screw..

well guys, I don't agree, that is innovation.
Rolex put a ceramic bezel on the Sub and a green dial on the LV
