Excellent report
This new line up would have appealed to me a decade ago in my wilder days. Reminds of a the Cvstos Challenge Jet-Liner series on steroids.
And on your question as to why not use Unico as opposed to the El Primero, well I guess the main reason is that this is a mutually beneficial relationship where Zenith movements are showcased in a brand loved by the rich and famous whilst Hublot benefits from having a movement with pedigree and historical significance. And besides, Unico is a terrible name for a movement.

Unico... el primero... at the end... they all sound a bit... latin names!
And thanks to your remark, I wonder if the choice of Unico was not in a sense a sort of homage to El Primero... one of the most famous chronograph movements. The good point is that they have names... a lot don't have any. Fx
Thanks for the thorough report!
As always, well organized and well covered report, Fx. I really wish I could be there, but I was at ease because I knew you would do a wonderful job. Thank you again for doing this despite your busy schedule. Hublot seems to be making progress as fast as ...
Excellent report on the Hublot 2014 collection
There is a lot to like in this collection. It seem like as usual they are targeting a broad range of ages ataste. There really is something for everyone for the elegant to the sports models. The Blackout look to the rich gold and striking dials. I need to...

That's the purpose of the wristshots, to have a good overview of the watches. Fx
