  • Hublot isn't widely embraced by the most enthusiastic of watch collectors. Sometimes they are even compared to Invicta (which I don't agree with). For a brand that creates amazing in house movements, and distincitve designs in a wide range of materials, I hope they start getting more credit. I am a fan.

    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.

      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.

      when smn says "that's easy" ppl usually want to verify it to agree. when u say Hublot is shit, we wanna verify that u've at least bought n given it a try on ur skin as a user. otherwise, it is natural that ppl disagree with smn who hasnt had a proper experience

    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 CZcamsrs 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.

    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.

    • @orangeyellow-me1pz
      @orangeyellow-me1pz Před 2 měsíci

      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?

  • @robertomalley3469
    @robertomalley3469 Před 3 měsíci +4

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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”

    • @MattSeesGray

    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.

    @sebastien6483 Před 2 měsíci

    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.

  • @SF30Actual
    @SF30Actual Před 3 měsíci

    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.

  • @Stona999
    @Stona999 Před 3 měsíci +2

    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
