New Release
KIH offers a retrospective on Hublot's 2012 Baselworld novelties, setting the stage for anticipation of their upcoming releases. The post features a visual tour of key models like the F1 Big Bang UNICO Magic Gold, Extra-Thin Tourbillon, and the innovative Antikythera Mechanism. This overview provides a valuable context for understanding Hublot's trajectory and design philosophy.
It certainly was a good year for different style Hublots in all the ranges and of course the LE's released during the year (Opus being my favourite). Looking forward to Geneva watch week to see what is on its way! Cheers Andrew PS I am positive the extra thin skeleton movement is not in house.
.. about the movement of extra then skeleton. :-) I think you are right. Ken
It was my first question when I saw it last Jan. i just couldn't remember who made it from the top of my head? Thanks for reminding me. Cheers Andrew
The story around this movement is a bit complicated and confused in my head. If I'm not wrong, it was defined by Hublot (surely in partnership with LJP), was supposed to be produced by Hublot and that for the time being it is produced by Lajoux-Perret. Things are never easy in the watches industry! ;) Fx
From what I was told, the movement was designed by Hublot in collaboration with LaJoux Perret, and is currently being manufactured by La Joux Perret. I was also told that Hublot would have exclusivity on this movement for a certain period of time, so this could mean that is is a La Joux Perret movement afterall. So far I haven't seen another watch with the movement, so it's definitely exclusive to Hublot. There is some resemblance to the Arnold & Son TB88, also by La Joux Perret.
I remember you telling me that at the release. It does have a certain similarity with some small changes, I guess this is it all being 'in house' now with La Joux-Perret/Arnold & sons being owned by Citizen. Cheers Andrew
