Hublot 2012 Novelties Hands-on report

 
 By: KIH : April 14th, 2012-21:35
As a part of their world tour, most of the notable novelties of 2012 came to Tokyo (some were unfortunately missing) and I had an opportunity to see, handle, and take pics, thanks to Hublot Japan and Hublot Boutique Ginza. Overall, the new line-up is soli...  

Ultra-Thin

looks really yummy ! Looks very wearable and slim enough to fit under most cuffs. Have my eye on that since I first saw the photos, cant' wait to see it in the metal. Do you know if its a twin barrel ? Thanks for the report and the excellent photos (as al... 

I have been waiting...

... for the answer to your question, whether it is twin barrel, but I haven't got it yet. Anyway, I agree that this is really nice Hublot and attractive dressy watch (kind of..). Very wearable, indeed! Ken

world time, huh?

"get it?" wish i could say yes. i find the look of the world time interesting but incomprehensible. i'm just not that advanced. the skeleton is a great size, but to my eye, it kind of looks like a cheapo version of skeletonizing, as if they just laser cut... 

For some reason

I am liking the Ferrari in magic gold. I shouldn't, but I do. - SJX

Hey, why shouldn't you?

I got attracted by the Titanium version and doesn't it make enough reason? Ken

Ken, excellent report!

How does the KP Ti unico feel in person compared to the previous all black version? Thanks!

Difficult question...

 
 By: KIH : April 16th, 2012-07:32
Hi Rei! Many thanks. Well, the difference between Ti and all Black: Ti certainly looks shiny and attract attention. As for the "lightness", all black feels light - meaning that Ti version shows more "weight" visually as it is metalic after all. All carbon... 

Very clear Ken. Thanks a lot.

Now Hublot is about to release Alinghi watch early May. I will be more confused

Excellent report Ken.

Thanks for the wonderful post. My favorite is the titanium Ferrari. Bad news is I could not enjoy it with the prominent logo and Ferrari colored subdial; good news is every time Hublot creates an LE they usually follow with several other variations of the... 

I hear you...

 
 By: KIH : April 16th, 2012-20:49
... I understand some are not big fan of Ferrari. I don't drive or even own a car, so "Ferrari" doesn't mean much Anyhow, as a watch, the model is pretty cool and I hope they come up with non-Ferrari variant someday. But I can tell you that the accel/brak... 

Thanks Ken

I like the extra thin skeleton.

I'd like to try that one on! It looks very nice on the wrist! This piece is more in keeping with what I like versus the large or blinged-out Hublots. Cheers, Daos

Agreed!

They are going to various directions and they hit the right one I would love to see the Skeleton Tourbillon, though. Must be awesome, too! Ken

My fav novelties are...

The Titanium Ferrari: And the Classic Fusion: And I also have two obvious "no go", even if I'm an open-minded guy, I can't understand these two watches: Thanks Ken for your post! Fx...  

I understand... YMMV!

 
 By: KIH : April 19th, 2012-05:22
Besides, it appears that GMT has many variations which city is indicated on the bezel or the dial. Ken

Actually... I'm totally confused with this watch!

a classic worldtimer is so easy to read... Fx
