History
 In 1980, Carlo
Crocco created the Hublot watch in gold fitted with the first
natural black rubber strap in the history of watchmaking. It
has now become the pioneering inspiration for a celebrated style
of watchmaking on all levels.
The magnificent porthole-shaped watch case with its combination
of polished and brushed metal and minimalist black dial became
the perfect showcase for Hublot's inimitable natural black rubber
strap. The unique Hublot watch was born.
Members of royal families immediately showed their enthusiasm
for Hublot and were soon followed by a large number of celebrities
the world over. Carlo Crocco had taken an enormous risk, but
in just a few years, the Hublot watches joined the elite and
prestigious circle of leading watchmaking brands. It took 3 years
of research to create this unique strap and reveal the remarkable
properties of natural rubber, which seemingly regenerates in
daily contact with the skin. The two halves comprising it are
placed on clients' wrists and tailored to fit at the time of
purchasing their Hublot watch, adapting instantly to their contours
with softness and ease and offering the wearer unique, unparalleled
comfort.
In the mid-90s, rubber became the focus of interest for the top
watchmaking brands, as is clearly shown by their creations. This
proved the validity of the choice that led to the creation of
Hublot watches and strengthened their status as a great Classic.
For Hublot, rubber is not a fashion phenomenon, but the perfect
embodiment of its philosophy, a lifestyle and brand image statement
from day one. Hublot remains one of the last independent family-run
watchmaking businesses with a unique mono-product concept. Driven
by total creative freedom, Hublot was able to preserve its unique
personality and extend its range to include a vast array of collections,
some featuring sports complications. Hublot's consummate mastery
in the field, together with its impeccable attention to detail,
has led to a number of Limited Edition collections.
Carlo Crocco, preoccupied by his own design work and many activities
for the Hand-in-Hand Foundation, a charity helping deprived children
all around the world, set out to look for the man who could steer
the helm of his watchmaking business.
In late 2003, Jean-Claude Biver decided to take a year out to
reset the hands of time and have a little rest. But this man
is a stranger to rest. It was then that he met Carlo Crocco.
A current of electricity flowed between them immediately.
In May 2004, Jean-Claude Biver assumed his duties as CEO, becoming
a board member and minority shareholder in Hublot watches, his
head filled with remarkable plans for the company's development.
Jean-Claude Biver is one of those rare men who have genuinely
left their mark on Swiss watchmaking. He was born in Luxembourg
on 20th September 1949 and his family moved to Switzerland when
he was 10 years old. He arrived in Le Brassus with a degree tucked
under his belt and the Joux valley, birthplace of fine watchmaking,
was soon to have a deep impact on his life. He fitted in immediately,
living near a farm that, years later, |
