Hublot Watches
In 1980 Carlo Crocco created a watch featuring a gold case and natural rubber strap. For the first time in the history of watch making, a precious material – gold – was combined with rubber. The porthole- shaped watch case combining polished and brushed gold, the minimalist black dial, and the distinctive black natural rubber strap came to symbolise Hublot watches.
Members of royal families were immediately enthusiastic about Hublot, and were soon followed by numerous celebrities the world over. Carlo Crocco had taken a risk, but in just a few years Hublot watches joined the elite of leading watchmaking brands.
