What will Hublot bring this year to us?
Let's look back and remember what they brought to us at 2012 Basel.
LE F1 Big Bang UNICO Magic Gold
Titanium Version - my fav.
Extra Thin Tourbillon - haven't had a pleasure to meet in person.
Antikythera Mechanism - wonderful challenge and for the history research
Extra thin wrist shot at the boutique.
In-house movement. Looks pretty nice.
Oeceanobraph 1000m
Oceanograph 4000 various verions
VERY Cool!

Have your heads now remembered 2012 offerings from Hublot? Let's wait and see what they will bring to us in 2013!
Best,

Thanks Ken for the reminder and photo tour
It certainly was a good year for different style Hublots in all the ranges and of course the LE's released during the year (Opus being my favourite).
Looking forward to Geneva watch week to see what is on its way!
Cheers

PS I am positive the extra thin skeleton movement is not in house.
You are right FX...
It was my first question when I saw it last Jan. i just couldn't remember who made it from the top of my head? Thanks for reminding me.
Cheers

Oops... My bad...
.. about the movement of extra then skeleton. 
I think you are right.

You know...
The story around this movement is a bit complicated and confused in my head.
If I'm not wrong, it was defined by Hublot (surely in partnership with LJP), was supposed to be produced by Hublot and that for the time being it is produced by Lajoux-Perret.
Things are never easy in the watches industry!

Sounds about right...
From what I was told, the movement was designed by Hublot in collaboration with LaJoux Perret, and is currently being manufactured by La Joux Perret.
I was also told that Hublot would have exclusivity on this movement for a certain period of time, so this could mean that is is a La Joux Perret movement afterall.
So far I haven't seen another watch with the movement, so it's definitely exclusive to Hublot.
There is some resemblance to the Arnold & Son TB88, also by La Joux Perret.
Great to see you back on here Amr!
I remember you telling me that at the release. It does have a certain similarity with some small changes, I guess this is it all being 'in house' now with La Joux-Perret/Arnold & sons being owned by Citizen.

My Hope for this 2013 watch year
I know it's a long shot but it's my absolute fervent wish that Hublot completes the triumvirate and brings out the 2500M Oceanographic 3 with chronos. I know it's very wishful thinking but it would be awesome to round the collection with a third and final Oceanographic King Power. PLEASE HUBLOT!!!!!
Hmmm....
I am guessing some new Ferrari pieces, different materials maybe a carbon version, or ceramic. I would guess we wold also see some more use of the Magic Gold somewhere. Should be a fun time!
