Fusion under the influence – With Chiara, everything is possible
Chiara Ferragni has joined the Hublot family in the company of many legendary personalities such as football legend Pelé, tennis world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, track and field champions Dina Asher-Smith and Usain Bolt and three Michelin star chef Clare Smyth. She lights up everything she touches and creates, she is a natural-born winner and shines her aura over everything she loves and chooses.
Today, she has chosen Hublot. So why Chiara Ferragni and why Hublot?
Everything I do, I do to share. The things I love, the people I love, the things I experience, my daily life, my children, my work: I put my heart into everything to inspire others, to believe in themselves and their dreams. I found my ikigai in 2009. I managed to combine my passion with my talent in response to a need and now it has become my business. By opening the door to who I am and what I experience, I am also hoping to inspire the women of today not to choose between being a wife, a mother or an entrepreneur. All these roles complete me, just as they complete each other. Beauty drives everything I do. Not only inner beauty, but everything I see around me. That is reflected in my collaborations, my words, my charity work and my daily life. Why Hublot? Because Hublot is not like any other watch brand, it follows its own distinctive path, with determination: It follows its dreams of innovation, while respecting traditions; it seeks beauty both inside and out, by showcasing much more than athletic performance or the success of a family member, it celebrates the reasons for this performance and success, in other words, the ability to be first, different and unique. Hublot’s messages and values speak to me, that’s why I have chosen to join this family today. A fusion of passion and determination has shaped who I am, across all my roles, and forged the businesswoman I have become. This same fusion has also made Hublot the company it is today.
Chiara Ferragni
Hublot Brand Ambassador
Who does not know Chiara Ferragni? Her extraordinary destiny is not down to luck, this visionary and determined woman is someone who learnt how to grow and evolve with her time. By portraying and sharing who she is and what she loves, she has realised her dream, inspiring the men and women of her generation to believe that anything is possible. As someone who is both authentic and spontaneous, she has turned her happy, positive and generous nature into her trademark. As a visionary and pioneer, she has been able to move with the times by dominating the digital platforms and turning her passion into a real business. Her passion became her job, and her natural talent transformed into a success that is seemingly within everyone’s reach. Her inspiring journey proves that anything is possible; it’s the stuff of dreams, while being very real. Who wouldn’t want to live and realise their dreams like Chiara Ferragni? At Hublot, we love inspiring women and men who believe in their dreams and move heaven and earth to fulfil them, who assert their distinctive personality, are willing to go out on a limb, who are not afraid of what people will say and who follow their path with authenticity and passion.
That’s why Chiara fits so well into our family.
Ricardo Guadalupe HUBLOT CEO
Surely, one no longer needs to present Chiara Ferragni?
Well yes, if only to highlight the very nature of this woman, a so-called influencer, a term too small to encompass all her talents. As a business woman, entrepreneur, influencer, wife and mother of two, she embodies that ‘can do’ attitude that everyone finds so inspiring.Twelve years after launching theblondesalad.com, Chiara Ferragni has achieved a success story. When she started out, Instagram did not exist and blogging was in its infancy. It took Chiara only a few months to turn a hobby into a business, attracting the attention of the media and the fashion world, and placing her name alongside the biggest luxury brands.
First, Unique, Different. Just like Hublot! She single-handedly created a job for herself, followed her instincts, asserted her choice to share and talk about her life. Honoured several times by Forbes, her career path has even inspired a study by the prestigious Harvard University to understand her success.
In tune with her times, Chiara is leaving her mark on the world. She resolutely believes in her dreams. A dreamer she may be, but she is firmly rooted in her land and her roots. Chiara Ferragni draws her strength from the stability of her family, her parents and two sisters; she has gone on to recreate this strength through her own family, which she has built with Fedez.
So, is it natural talent, intuition or destiny? What if was a bit of all three? Whatever the case, what is certain is that she achieves firsts with her writing, she asserts her uniqueness, and her difference while retaining that very inclusive feeling of being the ‘girl next door…’
She is an entrepreneur who embodies the digital revolution and the arrival of social media. Chiara is a pioneer, she is constantly achieving firsts. With her fashion blog, launched 12 years ago, she was immediately considered the most influential and most famous blogger in the world. She created her own brand of shoes, then clothing in 2015— Chiara Ferragni Brand, —she was also the first to be listed as the world’s most powerful influencer. Indeed, there is no shortage of superlatives to describe her career and she is not afraid to use them. Both her real life and her digital world are filled with sharing, joy, values and optimism. She is unique, that’s for sure! She is proud of her uniqueness, after transforming her name into a brand, a trademark, a style and an inspiration. She also uses her platforms and visibility to help the causes that are close to her heart. Ultimately, what makes her different is that she has managed to turn her passion, her daily routine and her life into a true success story. She is also different for resembling a generation of women who live with the times and manage to combine several roles, without placing any filters between the different parts of their lives. With an Instagram community of 24.7 million followers, she shares her daily life as a wife, mother and entrepreneur openly and frankly. Chiara is an inspirational figure.
Chiara and Hublot, how it began
You may remember the pictures of Chiara Ferragni wearing the Big Bang Millenial Pink. A unisex watch with an inclusive message, produced as a limited edition of 200 pieces in a shade chosen by Lapo Elkann and designed in collaboration with Garage Italia. Since this project, Chiara and Hublot have simply understood that there were many similarities between their worlds.
So, get ready, because what Chiara & Hublot are preparing for you is likely to make a big impression, once again… First, Unique, Different!

HUBLOT
Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is defined by its innovation, which began with the highly original combination of gold and rubber. This “Art of Fusion” stems from the imagination of its visionary Chairman, Jean-Claude Biver, and has been driven forward by CEO Ricardo Guadalupe since 2012.
The release of the iconic, multi-award-winning Big Bang in 2005 paved the way for new flagship collections (Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang), with complications ranging from the simple to the highly sophisticated, establishing the extraordinary DNA of the Swiss watchmaking house and ensuring its impressive growth.
Keen to preserve its traditional and cutting-edge expertise, and guided by its philosophy to “Be First, Different and Unique”, the Swiss watchmaker is consistently ahead of the curve, through its innovations in materials (scratch-resistant Magic Gold, ceramics in vibrant colours, sapphire), and the creation of Manufacture movements (Unico, Meca-10, Tourbillon).
HUBLOT is fully committed to creating a Haute Horlogerie brand with a visionary future: a future which is fused with the key events of our times (FIFA World CupTM, UEFA Champions LeagueTM, UEFA EUROTM) and the finest ambassadors our era has to offer (Kylian Mbappé, Usain Bolt, Pelé, Novak Djokovic).

La historia de 2021 contada por la Swiss Maison se titula Luces extraordinarias y continúa el camino trazado en años anteriores.
El nivel de excelencia se mantiene lo más alto posible y logra combinar la originalidad creativa con el lujo, con la capacidad de crear joyas junto con la elección de piedras especialmente preciosas. La colección está dividida en capítulos, que se asemejan a las distintas atmósferas que condicionan las emociones. El primero se llama Festive Lights y recuerda los brillos que acompañan a los días especiales. El segundo, Magical Lights, se refiere al amanecer, mientras que el tercer capítulo Infinite Lights es una combinación de brillo deslumbrante. La colección también incluye propuestas de alta relojería, que hicieron famoso a Piaget, capaz de combinar la eficiencia técnica con la habilidad del orfebre.
Después de un año vivido peligrosamente (y en forzado aislamiento), el deseo de celebración es más fuerte que nunca. El capítulo se divide, a su vez, en dos líneas creativas. El primero, Blissful Lights, incluye joyas con combinaciones de diamantes blancos y amarillos, entre los tonos de fantasía más raros, especialmente en el caso de cristales muy puros de grandes dimensiones y sin fluorescencia. Las posibilidades de ser clasificado como intenso, recuerda Piaget, son aún más remotas.
El diamante amarillo intenso del collar de 10,12 quilates, cuyas cualidades se ven reforzadas por el corte radiante elegido específicamente para esta gema, es un excelente ejemplo. Combinando el brillo de un corte redondo con la pureza angular de un corte esmeralda, la forma radiante permite que el diamante absorba y refleje una gran cantidad de luz, ofreciendo el mejor brillo y creando el más brillante de los destellos. En un diseño único, concebido por primera vez por el Piaget Atelier y que requirió a los artesanos más de un año de trabajo para la concepción y desarrollo y otras 280 horas para la realización, este precioso diamante también es extraíble: de hecho puede ser transformado en anillo sujetándolo a un marco especial mediante un dispositivo invisible, en el que cada detalle ha sido concebido y creado con gran ingenio y que permite llevar el collar de diferentes formas. Un enfoque creativo que encaja perfectamente en el lema de Valentin Piaget y refleja el deseo de mantener la innovación en el corazón de la creación de cada joya.
Los aretes y el anillo Blissful Lights también cuentan con diamantes de talla radiante de color amarillo intenso, lo que hace que este conjunto excepcional de gemas sea casi imposible de replicar o combinar. El engaste central de diamantes en el anillo Blissful Lights tiene un diseño minimalista que permite que la luz penetre y muestre la calidad y belleza de la gema en una proyección hacia afuera que resulta en una explosión de brillo.
La segunda línea, Blazing Night, incluye un collar con 12 magníficos rubíes de Mozambique y Tailandia, que con su corte de lágrima recuerdan el movimiento de los faroles (siempre estamos en el capítulo de Luces Festivas) que vuelan hacia el cielo. El diseño del collar se retoma y desarrolla en el reloj manchette, un ejemplo de la primacía de Piaget en los campos de la funcionalidad técnica y la estética. Junto al anillo y un pendiente característico, las joyas del conjunto Blazing Night se presentan como creaciones magistrales exclusivas. Los rubíes utilizados tardaron varios años en encontrar y cumplir con los estándares cada vez más estrictos de Piaget y son la mejor mezcla posible de piedras preciosas de color rojo natural de pureza cristalina no sometidas a tratamiento térmico.
En la búsqueda de la perfección, algunas de las formas de lágrima, la estructura más rara de los rubíes, se han vuelto a cortar para garantizar líneas y proporciones impecables, mientras que todos los diamantes talla baguette que aparecen en el diseño se han hecho a medida para adaptarse perfectamente a su espacio . dedicado. Para crear estos ambiciosos diseños, el collar solo requirió de los maestros artesanos hasta 400 horas de trabajo de escritorio y el reloj otras 250 horas.
Magical Lights
Las auroras boreales son uno de los espectáculos más sorprendentes de la naturaleza. Poco después llega esta línea de joyería, dividida en dos líneas: Magical Aurora y Dancing Aurora, así como el set The Gloaming Illuminations. El primero presenta un collar con una gran esmeralda colombiana de 16,84 quilates, rara y ultrapura, con tonalidades que recuerdan a las de la aurora boreal. En el caso de las gemas de colores más finos, el lugar de origen suele ser la clave de la belleza y es un elemento fundamental en la calidad de las esmeraldas.
Desde su descubrimiento en el siglo XVI, los extraídos de la tierra de Colombia son celebrados por su color excepcional. El proceso de formación de dos pasos de la esmeralda casi siempre crea una tensión interna en el cristal con las consiguientes inclusiones y menos claridad. Por esta razón, la gema del collar, con su color intenso y excelente transparencia, es rara y preciosa. Con su talla cuadrada perfectamente proporcionada, esta esmeralda se presenta como la gema por excelencia desde todos los puntos de vista. Las esmeraldas centrales del anillo y los pendientes, igualmente dotadas de las excelentes cualidades ligadas a su origen y cuya mágica explosión de tonos verdes imita la aurora, requirieron varios años de investigación.
Magical Aurora también incluye un reloj de pulsera asimétrico y articulado, que es una pieza típicamente Piaget, un tributo al apogeo del diseño de la Maison en las décadas de 1960 y 1970. El reloj presenta la construcción característica de un calibre ultrafino con movimiento y jaula de tourbillon, típico de las creaciones pioneras de Piaget desde que sus maestros relojeros desarrollaron por primera vez este elegante diseño en la década de 1960. En ese momento, el desafío pasó a crear una esfera digna de tal pináculo de lujo y, desde su debut en 1964, la piedra dura con incrustaciones, uno de los Métier d’Art más meticulosos, se ha utilizado para lograr resultados excepcionales. En este reloj, los diamantes blancos están engastados y parecen balancearse y moverse con el viento, girando sobre una esfera de malaquita virtuosamente compuesta por varios elementos incrustados. La pulsera del reloj está cubierta con diamantes talla baguette y esmeraldas de Zambia.
The Gloaming Illuminations pasa del verde al rosa y el conjunto presenta un collar compuesto por una cascada de 27 zafiros, con una colección de tonos naturales progresivos que tardó más de dos años en completarse para encontrar la combinación perfecta en tamaño, tonalidad y calidad. . La joya también incluye tres piedras de padparadscha con sus codiciados tonos rosa salmón o naranja brillante en una fusión perfecta de matices que rara vez se ven en la naturaleza. Las gemas son tan puras que, excepcionalmente en el caso de los zafiros, se eligió para ellas una talla esmeralda, capaz de revelar su belleza intrínseca. El diseño se repite con las 14 gemas del efecto cascada de los pendientes, realizados con una suavidad excepcional que es testimonio de la artesanía necesaria para lograr este efecto, mientras que el zafiro rosa de 6,53 quilates elegido como piedra central del anillo luce gracias a un tono, matices y saturación perfectos.
Infinite Lights
El cielo estrellado, un espectáculo que se repite cada noche y no se cansa nunca. Las infinitas estrellas que salpican el cielo son la fuente de inspiración de esta línea que constituye el tercer capítulo de Luces extraordinarias. El collier Extraordinary Lights destaca en esta línea de joyería. Los maestros artesanos de Piaget tardaron 450 horas en transformar esta colección de gemas en una pieza de joyería aún más extraordinaria.
El collar está completamente articulado y es tan cómodo de llevar como fascinante de admirar. Un espectacular diamante talla primo del más fino color amarillo Fancy Vivid, recortado por Piaget para que sea internamente perfecto y con un peso de 8,88 quilates, se combina con un zafiro azul de Sri Lanka de gota de 5,34 quilates y una espinela roja de Tanzania, siempre gota , de 3,61 quilates, y el conjunto está flanqueado por espesartitas y diamantes. En el collar, la belleza se combina con la funcionalidad, lo que hace que esta creación sea tan innovadora como alucinante. Garantizando la máxima versatilidad, el sensacional diseño de espalda baja se puede transformar y llevar de seis formas diferentes. Gracias a un nivel excepcional de creatividad, el collar tiene la capacidad de transformarse de una joya de día en una joya de noche perfecta.
El collar se puede usar con ambos elementos al mismo tiempo, o se puede transformar para resaltar una de las dos declinaciones. La espinela en forma de lágrima en el «lado del día» y los diamantes en el «lado de la noche» también se pueden quitar y la cadena de diamantes se puede usar como pulsera. La combinación de colores se repite en los pendientes del mismo conjunto, mientras que el anillo a juego luce un diamante central de talla coussin amarillo Fancy Vivid de 5,54 quilates. Solo un diamante de cada diez mil es amarillo y solo el 6% de estos se clasifican como Fancy Vivid, el grado más alto de intensidad de color. Como demostración de la rareza de estos diamantes, después de encontrar la piedra central del anillo, se necesitaron otros dos años para encontrar y combinar los diamantes del collar y los pendientes.
When the Reverso was born in 1931, the feminine appeal of its elegant Art Deco lines became immediately apparent and new versions of the design were soon created, especially for women. Over the decades since then, Jaeger-LeCoultre has continued to explore the Reverso’s feminine side, uniting the codes of fine watchmaking with the decorative crafts.
As a canvas for artistic expression, the double-sided case of the Reverso is unique in watchmaking, providing an opportunity for the artisans of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Atelier des Métiers Rares® (Rare Handcrafts™ workshop) to unleash their skills in the decorative arts.
For the Reverso One Cordonnet Jewellery, La Grande Maison unites the talents of its gem-setters with its mastery of watchmaking complications, bringing a new and exuberantly feminine expression of glamour to the Reverso collection.
Jaeger-LeCoultre featured the cordonnet bracelet (the word means ‘fine braid’) on several women’s watches during the 1930s. This simple black cord – the ‘little black dress’ of watch bracelets – epitomised the refined elegance of the Art Deco period, and perhaps never more so than when paired with the Reverso for the first time, in 1933.
For 2021, the Reverso One Cordonnet Jewellery reinterprets this exquisite pairing in radiant style, transforming the simple cord bracelet into a supple braid of gold and diamonds and uniting it with a fully diamond-set Duetto case.
Designed especially for women, the double-sided Duetto offers two dials, each with a different expression of the time. The ingenuity of the movement – the manually-wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 844 – lies in its ability to turn the hands simultaneously in opposite directions on each dial.
The front dial of the Reverso One Cordonnet Jewellery is constructed of multiple layers: fine golden Arabic numerals are applied to a white mother-of-pearl base and framed by diamond-set brackets; in the centre, framed by a fine filet of gold, a geometric cut-out reveals a glittering field of pavé-set diamonds. The reverse-side dial offers a rich contrast: set onto a background of onyx, diamond-set golden ‘sunbeams’ radiate out from the centre to form the hour markers.
The entire case and bracelet attachment, the bracelet itself and both dials are fully set with diamonds, while the winding crown is adorned with a reverse-set diamond. (1,104 diamonds for a total of 7.84 carats). For the case, Jaeger-LeCoultre chose the grain-setting technique, whereby the diamonds are held in place by beads of gold so tiny that they are almost invisible, keeping the stones very close together, so that the watch case appears to be encrusted in a solid mass of diamonds.
Conceived as an ode to 21st-Century femininity, the new Reverso One Cordonnet Jewellery attests to the horological savoir-faire, artistic craftsmanship and jewellery-making skills of La Grande Maison, while paying homage to the women who inspire Jaeger-LeCoultre every day.
