Catalogue Essay
'I pushed Hublot to use a skull for the very first time. This watch is the very first watch ever to feature a skull. I have included a reproduction of the study used for this skull that really changed the company's direction. This watch represents a rebel spirit and a sense of daring elegance. The skull is a symbol of life and reminds us of how fragile our time is.'

Hublot

Swiss | 1980
Hublot was founded by Carlo Crocco in 1980 and named after the French word for "porthole," which resembles their iconic bezel design. Hublot's first watch followed three years of research and was the first wristwatch to be fitted with a natural rubber strap. The brand's most recognizable watch today is the 'Big Bang', which was first launched in 2005 upon the arrival of CEO and shareholder Jean-Claude Biver. Other noteworthy models are the 'Classic Fusion' and 'King Power'.
