It's unbelievable.

RM placed the same movement from the RM050 which was priced around $900,000-$1,000,000 into the RM056 and charged upwards of $1,500,000. So now Hublot comes along and produces a chronograph priced at $57,000 in a full sapphire case! If I owned an RM056 I would be LIVID at RM for charging $500,000 more for a process and material that is now clearly not worth that amount of money. But their prices have always been insanely high so I expect nothing else at this point I just hope that this is a wake up call.

Hublot has just unveiled this new version of the Big Bang Unico featuring a very original style... let's enjoy a full see-through design in the context of the in-house chronograph movement of Hublot! Full press release is available in the news forum: www....  

The concept is interesting.

And I think it works on this LE. It reminds me of an artist's sketch of conceptual watch in a very old AP catalog.

Indeed! I remember that haha (nt)

Don't really like the Big Bang but this one looks cool.

I like this sapphire Hublot because it looks like it's actually wearable for everyday use

I wonder how it would look if Hublot added a faint touch of color to the hands. Great pics Fx! Cheers, Anthony

Looks cool for sure but cheap?

Maybe the strap... Anyway, it's a cool looking watch from Hublot.

Wow, interesting cool watch!

It is certainly different one. Cool! Good looking, but somewhat "Swatch-like" looking. I might want to do something about the strap - but overall, good concept and execution. Good job, Hublot! Ken

同じ意見じゃないですか。

Exactly my thought... haha

So Richard mille and Moser told us some BS?

I really like this sapphire Hublot While I'm not the biggest Hublot fan, this is something I appreciate Some years ago Richard Mille made something similar with a tourbillon , RM charged an insane 1,6 million They said it took them over 1000 hrs to make t... 

I assume RM and Moser have many bills to pay [nt]

I do think RM is catered to individuals with BIG ego. Well, at least they are very2x rich haha

Great pics FX...

and from trying on the watch during Geneva watch week, I can say it sure is a stand out piece from Hublot... at Basel it is going to be a blast. This one is only a proto... they assure me that the final version will look even better! Cheers Andrew

JCB has started playing tough

 
 By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : February 11th, 2016-14:05
First a cheap tourbillon with TH, now a cheap sapphire case. We know that in the luxury world nothing really worth the price tag,but with these moves i think JCB is changing the game's rules. For the first time a rush towards lower prices, but with more c... 

This is a logical step for Hublot

Unico has always been about a sexy production movement that has many details to please the eye. I am a huge fan of the Unico and I'm glad to see an equally sexy case that displays the movement in all its glory!
