Most of the Hublot haters can’t afford one anyway.

Just because I can't afford something doesn't mean I can't say its ugly. I do like the examples shown in this video though.

I think the objective reality is somewhere in the middle. There are reasons to hate Hublot (watches with third-party movements that don’t justify the price) and there are reasons to love Hublot (the innovative use of materials and some of their higher end in house movements are quite well done). Most of the watches aren’t my personal style but that doesn’t mean I completely crap on the brand either. It’s annoying that many people blindly form their opinion based on certain KZreadrs or so they sound like they’re “in the know.” At the end of the day, it’s okay to like a watch even if others hate it. Conversely, it’s okay not to like it as well, but we can acknowledge both the good and bad. It’s not one or the other.

Good comment!

Far too many people are not actively open minded. Congrats for being one of the few. Big Bang in gold is one of my favourites that I used to own. Absolutely gorgeous to me and wears so comfortably. Crazy wrist presence.

Most people hate Hublot because humans by their nature follow the crowd.

The blur of shame was EPIC!!!

The hublot critics fall into 2 camps. 1- those who don't understand how screws work. If you hate unaligned screws so much I better see you comment on every youtube video where a screw down crown doesn't point the brand logo straight up when viewing from the side, or how about screwed links on a bracelet not all aligned? Or what about screws on plates inside the movement? on the winding rotor pivot? And 2- people that mistakenly think there is a value proposition in any luxury product. Like rolex doesn't pump out 2 million + watches a year for a manufacturing cost of maybe a few hundred bucks each? Get over yourselves.

Hmm, i never understood that misaligned crown. I have a Swiss made Invicta and the crown logo is perfectly aligned. Why couldnt the other more expensive watch brands accomplish this?

I’ve seen this watch in the flesh and it’s stunning. The haters buy other popular watches because they follow the crowd. They’re normally as dull as the watches they buy.

I was dying laughing at the "blur of shame". I actually really like the design language of that watch and the fact that they use an El Primero movement. I do have a hard time with that price point for a Hublot. I would definitely be looking for this one on the gray market at a significant 40% discount or something like that if I wanted one. Great review as always Bruce! Thanks!

Hey Bruce, I plan on being there. I missed you the last couple times. You are a popular guy and I don't like to interrupt.

I don't have any particular hate for the brand but simply find their designs unappealingly garish and the few that are tolerable don't really rise to any consideration for purchase or ownership. That being said, more power to anyone that wants to rock them.

Much better than RM in terms of styling

Tied this on when skiing in Swaziland and man it is a keeper absolutely stunning on and off the wrist. It’s just price point but you can pick one up on crono for lot cheaper

Its only the Nico fan girls that shit on hublot. Decent watches, especially if you like the design. Also very innovative with materials and also movements (big bang etc., not the classic fusion range) Overpriced... Sure, name me a luxury brand that isnt. I own a classic fusion, simply because i like the design and it brings me joy to wear.

It can be argued RM is a Frank Mueller homage.

Proud Hublot fanatic because I can actually walk in and buy one haha no wait list unlike some other brands that will go unnamed 😂😂😂

I own the same watch in titanium. 👍🏻 it is Zenith El Primero based movement

Nice watch looks bettter in person,but 24k is way to much for me.If im spending that much ill rather have el premiero Daytona instead.

I own a hublot, i really enjoy it, but my pet peeve with hublot is how their bezel screws are not organised, they're just pointing randomly, and if I'm paying so much money for a watch, it shouldn't trigger my OCD.

Is a cool watch!

Invicta also has some swiss movement watches...some are even swiss made with Sapphire crystals and no, I'm not talking about that one pro diver.

I love this watch and I will definitely buy them soon

You do a nice job Bruce listing even the negatives! But it is out of my price range by far!

I don’t get the hate for Hublot honestly. I understand that people don’t like that they sell watches with Sellita movements for a ton of money, but EVERYONE was doing this up until a decade ago. Nobody was really doing in-house until recently. And plenty of brands still do that. And no Hublot is making pretty crazy in-house movement, making full ceramic or sapphire cases/bracelets. They were the first to do ceramic, sapphire, and rubber straps on a luxury watch. Now these things are commonplace of luxury sports watches. Hublot is not for me, but I respect them as a watchmaker. And all the hate they get makes me want to get one, just because I’m a contrarian and I wanna piss off “enthusiasts”

Also, before someone talks about the “screws that aren’t aligned”, the Cartier Santos does the same exact thing and nobody bats an eye.

Very fair review

Lol, i love Invicta. I dont like the crazy ones too much but I like some of their other models.

I think some Hublots would be fine if they were like 1/3 of the price. I'd take a 45mm Classic Fusion Black Magic, but an ETA 2824 shouldn't be $10k.

True, but a watch is more than its movement.

Hublot just carries a decades old reputation that traditionalists echo as a crutch to pantomime sophistication. They don't need to be for everyone to have their place. Buying a Hublot as an enthusiast is a statement by itself because of the pitchforks. The hate is likely helping their business.

Bruce, for some reason, you very rarely show up in my feed anymore. Not sure why. Other watch KZreadrs do... I'm a big fan of yours and I am subscribed...

The Hublot looks like an Invicta/RM colab..... 😮

if i like it, i like it

When you buy a Hublot "You Blow" your money $..........Ba-dum-bum

Casual ramble 😅

Hublot would do itself a huge favor if they used in-house movements. They charge too much for ETA based watches. Outside of that, who cares what anyone thinks? If you like Hublot, rock it. My problem with this watch specially is that it looks like the ultimate douche bag badge of honor (i.e Richard Mille). Not sure why any brand would want to look like an RM

@BruceWilliams

I wouldn't wear that if it was free. Looks like someone ripped off a design from Invicta.

Love your hair. Can't get on board with Hublot or RM. Like Rolex for many, these brands have a conotation I do not dig. Not classy. New money Celebs and show offs. Omg. ... I'm sorry.. i cant stand em!😂

So your saying Hublot are for people who don't know about watches 4ight

If you watch the video, that's not what I say at all lol

Serieus. Omg. Hublot. Not original. No self made watch brand. .

All luxury watches from Hublot to Patek are meant for people with more money than sense. If you happen to be one of those people, more power to you.

Yeah maybe Hublot does get more hate than they deserve, but this is probably the worst model you could’ve picked to make your case. Clearly an RM copycat.

I have Nico Leonard on the line and he has a few things to say about Hublot.

Hublot do make okay watches but they are insanely expensive. The only people that buy them have more money than sense and who want to tell the world how rich you are. Like Rolex owners but with less taste. If you spend nearly $25k on that Hublot watch you are a complete sucker

5 figure price and the least they could do is align the screws on the bezel

It's still a hideous watch, like the rest of their line up

The are like Breitling. A waste of of Time . And your money
