VEN AT ITS most restrained, Hublot watches emanate ostentation. Its latest Classic Fusion dress watch, for instance, dominates the wrist with a porthole-inspired case, polished edges and a captivating dial gleaming with crystalline gold. It is an aesthetic that lends itself better to, say, a Dolce&Gabbana than an Ermenegildo Zegna suit. And at its most flamboyant, Hublot aims for the extreme. Whether in design or mechanics— oftentimes, both—Hublot watches stand out because they are, in the words of its CEO Ricardo Guadalupe, “a bit crazy”.
