How cool is that!

During last weekend a dear fellow Purist(S) paved my way to a small informal reception at the local Hublot boutique.
It was my first contact with the brand, people were nice, they had some interesting stuff from the technological perspective, but their designs was not made for me.

A very special treat was the present we get handed over when we left. Now this is really rare and cool. Just like a DEFY LAB!

Thanks a lot to the Hublot boutique team for their hospitality, the given insights into their products and the special excursion into Zenith waters.

Best, Martin
