A discussion about prices is hardly useful for any luxury product.

Rational aspects do not really matter here. With these bracelets, however, one has to say that the technical design of the clasp is technically very complex and demanding.
The quality fits the product, which is not the case with every luxury object on the market... And that's the same with the belts and cufflinks that Hublot offers along with the new bracelets.
Considering whether the bracelet is worth its price is a very personal emotional decision.

Hublot has just launched a bracelet offer

Obviousy inspired by the rubber straps! The bracelets are nice and well made, and available with different clasp materials. The prices start from 1,050 euros in France what is for me too expensive. For the time being the rubber part is only black. Fx ...  

It can work if you can buy more straps to fit the lasp at watch strap prices.

If you only can buy it as one unit it may be a harder sell. Thanks for sharing. Bill

Yes I agree. but we need to consider this offer as a test imho

I think that the availability of different rubber colors would make it more successful. Fx

I agree with that...

...imagine a red rubber strap with a king gold clasp ... Concerning other sizes i ´ve asked Hublot already, let's see what they answer. Cheers, Sascha

Thanks Fx!

The prices are actually very ambitious. In addition, the straps are quite short. My wrist circumference is 17.5cm a nd the straps should not be shorter. Anyone with big wrists could have problems. Cheers, Sascha

I didn’t feel this...

My wrist is similar to yours, a bit larger and the bracelet was fine for me, even maybe a bit too large. Maybe they are available in different sizes? Thanks Fx

You can adjust the length of the strap...

... That means that you can shorten it by cutting it to the right length and fastened it with two screws to the clasp. But you can not extend the strap again. Cheers, Sascha

The clasp looks amazing

It is pricey but when you look at PP for what they charge for their clasp, the price for this assembly sounds quite reasonable.

I agree! Their margin on the product must be outrages...

I love Hublot, really, but from a price/value perspective it is a joke and somehow a slap in the face of every brand fan... 😱💥☝🏻

Would you argue the same way if it costs 5000, 10000 €

Where would be your limit? I agree that this is the case with many luxury items, but there are limits I am a longterm fan of Hublot and I have a watch of the brand as well. Maybe soon a 2. one... But I would never consider buying this for the demanded pri... 

I see your point.

For me personally, i am willing to spend an unreasonable amount of money on an object if I react very emotionally to it. The more positive this enthusiasm is the more money I am willing to spend. Therefore, it is very difficult to say exactly where the li... 

All Black Version

Here is some pictures of the All Black Version plus detail of the clasp. I've had the bracelet since April and love it, rarely leaves my wrist and the black finish has stood up to the elements pretty well. ...
