Is it really a 'price' thing Dje?...
... after all, as the PP moderator you will know better than most what a Patek minute repeater with tourbillon would cost. What price on a 3939? A 5016? A 5078? Or the 5207 (which you reviewed so thoroughly and so very well)?
No, there's a different sensibility to consider here. An Hublot tourbillon/MR seems, respectfully, to be akin to a Fender concert violin; to the Incredible Hulk performing microsurgery; to a SsangYong Formula One team; to visiting Starbucks for a Japanese tea ceremony (to takeout). As you say in your beautiful part of the world, 'chacun à son goût' - to each his own. This one is for..... well, for someone else.
Cheers,
pplater.
Hublot Big Bang Minute Repeater & Flying Tourbillon

Unbelievable
Hi Fred, I hope you're doing well. I'm glad you liked it, and respect your right to like it but alas I can't refrain from thinking that it is really a good thing that we do not discuss value here, because the value you indicate for this watch seems to me ...
It depends... if the watch brings something different, why not ?
But I can't judge it for the moment. Fr.Xavier

Its not the price; Its the units.....
pplater, I'm trying to translate previous opinions in this thread. I think the issue is not 'price' as in currency, to express 'value', which was the original query term in the first posting. When we try to value a watch, we us different units of measurem...
Beautifully expressed, MTF...
as always. The proposition under reply, from Dje, was: "I feel forced to ask if money is so easily available that someone can pay such a price for such a watch?" but your point is well made and well taken. However, you can keep the puppy... Cheers, pplate...
Oooooh! I bid +10 PPLU for that piece unique!
MTF - is that your puppy? So cute! Better than any watch imaginable IMO. Daos
The piece unique turned into one of these

Hahaha!! So i think, more reasonably, that Hublot lost his identity wis this kind of piece
I wait more Hublot with the Ice Bang Foudroyante... Sport and fusion. (And some insert made in PVC on watch at 220k€)
