A NEW BOUTIQUE, AN EXCLUSIVE PIECE: HUBLOT PAYS A TWOFOLD TRIBUTE TO MEXICO

A NEW BOUTIQUE, AN EXCLUSIVE PIECE: HUBLOT PAYS A TWOFOLD TRIBUTE TO MEXICO

From Mexico City to the country as a whole, Mexico has long since been one of the brightest stars in the Hublot galaxy, with a fondness and enthusiasm that have shown no signs of waning over the brand’s 40 years of existence.

To commemorate this treasured union, Hublot decided to launch two simultaneous initiatives in honour of Mexico. The first is a deeper celebration of their ties: The manufacture has announced the opening of its first official boutique in Cancun. It joins the country’s existing network of three boutiques, with the latest addition situated in a truly iconic spot on the easternmost tip of Mexico. This cosmopolitan city is a piece of paradise, its geographical location reflecting its outward-looking spirit, situated a few nautical miles from Havana, Miami and the Cayman Islands, where the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico meet the Caribbean Sea.

To celebrate these ties, Hublot will reveal an all-new creation that will convey the very special relationship between Hublot and Mexico: The Hublot Classic Fusion “Maya”, an exclusive numbered piece specially designed for the occasion and released as a series of just 25 pieces.

A vibrant tribute to Mayan culture, the centre of the piece depicts its traditional calendar cycles. This extremely sophisticated system demonstrates the advancement of a civilisation whose roots stretch back to prehistoric times and that made significant progress benefiting humanity as a whole in the fields of writing, art, architecture, agriculture, mathematics and astronomy.

The same is also true of the Haab calendar. By splitting the year into cycles, it helped support the development of mathematics and astronomy. The circle of glyphs in the middle of the dial comprises the 19 months of the Haab. The first 18 months each have 20 days and are followed by a short final period of just 5 days to give a total of 365 days.

In the centre, the carried load depicts the last of these 20 days, ajaw, meaning “lord” or “rule”. It is one of the main glyphs used in Classic Maya art. In this context, the “day” carried represents the beginning of the entire calendar year, making the load bearer actually a ‘year bearer’.

UNA NUEVA BOUTIQUE, UNA PIEZA EXCLUSIVA: HUBLOT HACE UN DOBLE HOMENAJE A MÉXICO

UNA NUEVA BOUTIQUE, UNA PIEZA EXCLUSIVA: HUBLOT HACE UN DOBLE HOMENAJE A MÉXICO

Desde la Ciudad de México hasta el país en su conjunto, México ha sido desde hace mucho tiempo una de las estrellas más brillantes de la galaxia Hublot, con un cariño y entusiasmo que no han mostrado signos de decaer durante los 40 años de existencia de la marca.

Para conmemorar esta unión tan preciada, Hublot decidió lanzar dos iniciativas simultáneas en honor a México. La primera es una celebración más profunda de sus lazos: la manufactura ha anunciado la apertura de su primera boutique oficial en Cancún. Se une a la red existente de tres boutiques del país, con la última incorporación ubicada en un lugar verdaderamente icónico en el extremo oriental de México. Esta ciudad cosmopolita es un pedazo de paraíso, su ubicación geográfica refleja su espíritu de mirar hacia el exterior, situada a pocas millas náuticas de La Habana, Miami y las Islas Caimán, donde las aguas turquesas del Golfo de México se encuentran con el Mar Caribe.

Para celebrar estos lazos, Hublot revelará una creación completamente nueva que transmitirá la relación muy especial entre Hublot y México: el Hublot Classic Fusion “Maya”, una pieza numerada exclusiva especialmente diseñada para la ocasión y lanzada como una serie de solo 25 piezas.

Un tributo vibrante a la cultura maya, el centro de la pieza representa sus ciclos tradicionales de calendario. Este sistema extremadamente sofisticado demuestra el avance de una civilización cuyas raíces se remontan a tiempos prehistóricos y que logró un progreso significativo en beneficio de la humanidad en su conjunto en los campos de la escritura, el arte, la arquitectura, la agricultura, las matemáticas y la astronomía.

Lo mismo ocurre con el calendario Haab. Al dividir el año en ciclos, ayudó a respaldar el desarrollo de las matemáticas y la astronomía. El círculo de glifos en el medio de la esfera comprende los 19 meses del Haab. Los primeros 18 meses tienen 20 días cada uno y son seguidos por un período final corto de solo 5 días para dar un total de 365 días.

En el centro, la carga transportada representa el último de estos 20 días, ajaw, que significa “señor” o “regla”. Es uno de los principales glifos utilizados en el arte maya clásico. En este contexto, el “día” transportado representa el comienzo de todo el año calendario, lo que convierte al portador de la carga en un “portador del año”.
