Welcome message from Jean-Claude Biver - CEO Hublot
Dear Purists, I am proud today to announce the opening of the Hublot Forum. It is not only an honor for my brand Hublot, but also for me. As a watch collector, with nearly $20M worth of watches in my safe, it is a real satisfaction to be able to join the ...
Dear Mr Hublot, A Purist, as a true passionate, always favours watches over their value.
Hence our forum rules... It would have been much more interesting to know what watches you have in your collection, and why, than knowing the whole value of your collection. If you could, in the future, keep this mind, it would be much appreciated. Best, ...

the Cheese
I can personally guaranty for Mr.Biver’s HUBLOT Cheese I was honored with it as a Christmas Gift, and I have to admit it is taste and smell you will never forget…. My family wanted to throw me away when they smelled it, and wanted to still it ...

back when i was 12 or 13 years old, when the first big bang came out i just loved the technology that went into every watch.. the combination of ceramics and kevlar was amazing to me. thank you Mr Biver for joining this forum, it will be very pleasurable ...
Congratulation for understanding Big Bang at 12 years old

Welcome to the forum
There are not many brand CEOs that are bothered to be present here. Your personal presense is certainly refreshing, but then again, you are known for doing the unknowns!! Good luck to the new forum, and Hublot. And if there us a Hublot Purists 10th annive...
