Hublot

Low key?

Appreciate your perspective and experience. Personally, I don't see an all sapphire glass watch as low key in any way, as such I wouldn't go into it thinking that. I would absolutely expect folks to ask about something like that. Not sure if you are being sarcastic here (tough to interpret via text) but that definitely would not be part of my decision criteria.
I do think the glass Hublot is beautiful, and your's looks amazing! I would be very fortunate to have one someday Am leaning toward the other models mentioned, with the Blue Ceramic as a front runner. Was mentioned below it's not the watch to get, looking like a toy. I don't see it that way but respect that others may. Think it's a very unique case with a wonderful movement!

I do not presently own a Hublot, but am thinking of one for my next purchase - either the UNICO Ceramic Titanium Skeleton or a MECA-10 in either Titanium or Ceramic Blue (I *love* blue watches). I'm partial the to UNICO Ceramic Titanium, but the 10 day po...

Go for the Meca 10...

Just look at those bridges! The Magic Gold version is fun - looks "burnished" to me

Do not buy the Sapphire..

If you are looking for something casual and low key (ie that cheap plastic watch look) do not get the sapphire case. I originally thought the sapphire with the clear case will look low profile and under the radar..... boy am I WRONG. Every where I go ppl ...

Quit your complaining…

you love the attention! ...

I’m not a Hublot owner, and until this week I haven’t had a Hublot on my wrist since maybe 2006-2008 time. Passed by a boutique this week and stopped in. The Sapphire was one reference I tried. It’ screams, in both the clear sapphire and of course even mo...

Agreed they look more expensive

And this is part of the issue, as many collectors give Hublot a hard time because they are seen as impersonating Richard Mille. I can understand that, given the similar tonneau case shape. However, I think, as you say, Hublot offers something that is far ...

In the early days yes they were being seen as an “impersonation” of the RM..

.. but lately lots of other Brand’s are picking up the sapphire trends.. eg.. B&R, Jacob&Co, H.Moser&Cie, Cartier, Girard Perregaux, Rebellion, Cabestan, MB&F and even the great Greubel-Forsey join the party. (Photos credit to respective o...

MECA-10 is an impressive watch.

Good luck. M4 ...

Thanks!

Appreciate the photos - good to see them under real lighting conditions and not just marketing fan fare. That blue ceramic....

Meca 10, but not in the blue ceramic.

A great watch ruined by making it look like a toy one.

I understand

By: notdnl : June 29th, 2019-17:04

It's definitely not for everyone, and respect that some may see it as a toy or cheesey. I just can't get over the blue I'm a sucker for alternative and non-standard case materials, so this one has me...
