Hublot

I wish! Nestle? Subsidizing? Unfortunately, that's not how it works in reality...

 

When Hublot partners with Nestle, Nestle is expecting like 20% of royalties on the sales revenue Hublot gets on the watches! Nestle is now a business partner. So costs are HIGHER! Because Hublot and Nestle now have to SHARE THE MONEY! NESTLE is expecting to be compensated as a business partner. They probably get something like 20% of the revenue Hublot realizes from this project. This is a really really bad idea, and the Arnault kids should have never green lighted this one. Who knows. Maybe the Arnaults spent time with executives at Nestle - Nestle is headquartered in Montreaux, a nice hang-out spot and home of the famous jazz festival that's on the calendars of many socialites. The Nestle board members I met in Switzerland were very pleasant. Oddly, I don't think they eat a lot of Nestle products - one was eating a competitor's chocolate product. Definitely not a Nestle brand.

A Big Bang Watch Made From Recycled Capsules and Coffee Grounds

Hmm... I wonder what else can they recycle to make watch cases. monochrome-watches.com ...

Pay more😭 I'd expect nespresso could subsidize some to help offset their waste footprint and use up some of those used pods.

Chopard's Alpine Eagle watch is made from recycled steel!

Lucent A223 steel is made by a foundry specially for Chopard. It uses at least 70% recycled steel. It's also smelted twice. Resulting in a 30% reduction in greenhouse emissions. The resulting steel is whiter, brighter, harder, and more scratch resistant t... 

For sure

But that is to help chopard be more eco, for their image. This is hublot helping nestle offset eco issues with all the plastic for their pods, they could def subsidize a consumer of hublot making nestle more esg. Not like nestle is a selling point for hub...

Correct

Most collaboration there is benefit to both sides. I guess I fail to see nestle helping sell watches. But I don't know I'm no executive!

In this particular case, I don't think the executive at Hublot nor at Nestle did a good job.

 
By: patrick_y : May 12th, 2023-00:54
I think that you'd have done a better job. Besides, why does a watch made from coffee pods look like Matcha Green Tea? Can someone at Nestle or Hublot explain that to me??? Both of us could've done better jobs. They should hire us as management consultant... 

Sounds good to me!

How about a WPS collaboration, they would sell more than these green things 🤣

Maybe someday!

We still remember the Zenith we designed with JCB, and Biver himself presented it to all of our members at Baselworld. At least the members who came to Basel to pick up their watches in person.

wow it seems very nice !! 👏

but I am not super sure about the aluminium cases in general (Hublot did it already but seemed not as robust as steel or titanium)

That’s good coffee

I waited when Hublot made a green that is under 43mm case width. I mean not a sapphire or with three tourbillons. A payable Big Bang that is green that not made for 250 mm wrists. Here she is, and i discover her on the Hublot website, and was curious if o...
