At Banks Lyon, we are exceptionally proud to be official stockists of some of the finest brands in luxury watches. Now, alongside the likes of Omega, TAG Heuer and Breitling, we are pleased to be able to offer timepieces from the Swiss luxury watchmaker Hublot.
Established in Geneva in 1980 by the Italian watchmaker Carlo Crocco, the brand has always had a reputation for innovation. Their debut timepiece was a gold watch featuring the first natural rubber wristband in the history of the industry, something which had taken three years of research to achieve. Today you find many brands using rubber watch straps – and all are following in Hublot’s footsteps.
The name “Hublot” comes from the French word for “porthole” – the visual inspiration for their bold round watch faces with distinctive screws.
Their innovation is not, of course, contained to their materials; they also lead in their craft. The UNICO movement, designed and produced entirely in-house, brought Hublot to the fore with a range of exceptional achievements that go beyond the standard.
From the flyback function of the chronograph to the fact that it registers a full 60 minutes instead of the more standard 30, the movement has been designed to be more than a mere workhorse movement but a standard to aspire to, meaning that any aficionado of the horological art would be proud to bear one on their wrist.
