CHIARA FERRAGNI BECOMES A NEW HUBLOT GLOBAL AMBASSADOR AND FACE OF THE GLOBAL CAMPAIGN

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

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).

HUBLOT BIG BANG DJ SNAKE

The most streamed French artist in the world, with a slew of international hits, DJ Snake is joining forces with Hublot to unveil an exclusive creation: the Big Bang DJ Snake. A watch boasting a myriad of facets, just like the talented artist who inspired it.

“To be able to wear – and also offer my fans – a watch which reflects my personality is something that has been very important to me since the start of my partnership with Hublot. I am delighted to have been able to combine my inspiration with the expertise of the fantastic watchmakers and technicians at this Swiss brand.” – DJ Snake


“DJ Snake turns everything he touches to gold! We are thrilled to have been able to channel his outstanding creativity into this new limited edition piece. The result is truly multifaceted, just like DJ Snake’s talents!” – Ricardo Guadalupe, HUBLOT CEO

DJ Snake has such a huge presence in today’s musical landscape that he needs no introduction. The electronic music star first came to public attention with the track “Turn Down For What”, released in 2013. Since then, the hits have racked up: “Lean On”, “Loco Contigo”, “Let Me Love You” with Justin Bieber, and “Selfish Love” with Selena Gomez. Diplo, Kanye West, Lil Jon… the collaborations keep on coming! He became the first French artist to have two songs with over a billion plays on Spotify, and the awards have rained down: Billboard Music Awards; MTV Music Awards; and no fewer than three NRJ Music Awards.

Hublot and DJ Snake have been partners since January 1st 2018, when he presided over the decks at Hublot’s closing evening during the FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Three years later, the first watch of this partnership is being unveiled:  The Big Bang DJ Snake.

The instantly recognizable and iconic design of the Big Bang now has an iridescent shine, with countless blue and purple hues. The bezel and the six titanium components of the 45-mm case are treated with a special and technical manufacturing process, similar to a black PVD treatment.  During the process, the different components of the watch must each be placed in specific positions when they are coated with different colors. The result is an optical effect in which the colors of the watch change depending on the light and when viewed from different angles. Not only that, but the surface of the parts was hardened before the iridescent treatment in order to improve its adherence. This operation is a complex one as it is difficult to obtain the same gradation of colour on each of the 100 watches being produced. The cut-outs on the outer edge of the bezel were designed by DJ Snake himself. These notches make the Big Bang DJ Snake immediately recognisable, distinguishing it from other collections. An illustration of the “Art of Fusion” philosophy so dear to Hublot!

On the upper face of the sapphire dial in the same colours as the case, a globe is featured, the signature of the electronic music star. A nod both to his travels across the planet for his concerts and to the fact that his hits have made the world his home. The lower section is skeletonised and treated to create sections with a black fumé finish.

This semi-transparent finish allows a glimpse of the famous calibre HUB1242 UNICO movement, a flyback chronograph with a power reserve of 72 hours.

Limited to 100 pieces, the Big Bang DJ Snake will be supplied with two straps which are easily interchangeable thanks to Hublot’s patented One Click system. The first is made from rubber, with a grey, black and purple camouflage pattern echoing the myriad colours reflected by the watch case. The second, also rubber, has a black ribbed structure. The clasp on these straps also features the same “Newton’s Rings” effect as the case and bezel.

BIG BANG INTEGRAL TOURBILLON ПОЛНЫЙ САПФИР: ЧИСТЫЙ САПФИР

Это правда, что иногда меньше значит больше – возможно, намного больше. Создав часы Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire, Hublot довели искусство слияния до совершенства. Новый интегральный браслет и корпус, изготовленные на заказ из сапфира: этот подвиг еще раз подтверждает техническое мастерство и исключительный опыт, приобретенные Hublot при обработке сапфира.

Апрель 2021 г. – Некоторым это покажется естественным. Для других это будет полное отключение. Конечный результат – каждого понемногу. Часы Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire – плод давней традиции. Это первые часы с сапфировым стеклом, созданные в 2016 году, и Big Bang Unico Sapphire. В этой модели Hublot воплотила накопленный опыт в обработке очень твердых материалов, чтобы создать исключительную серию часов с сапфировым стеклом. Сегодня Hublot еще больше раздвигает эти границы: первые часы Big Bang со встроенным корпусом и браслетом сделаны из сапфира. Естественная эволюция и высокотехнологичный подвиг в равной мере.

Big Bang Integral Sapphir Tourbillon

«В качестве такого исключительного творения мы выбрали новый калибр с автоматическим турбийоном с сапфировыми мостами, прозрачность которых создает потрясающее зрелище. Однако создание интегрированного корпуса и браслета из сапфира было сочтено невозможным. первая марка, которая в совершенстве овладела сапфиром, внедрила его в промышленность и сделав его воспроизводимым в серийном производстве. На создание наших первых сапфировых корпусов ушло пять лет – и почти столько же времени на браслет. Производство сапфира и их объединение это вершина тщательной работы, проделанной всеми командами Hublot. Мы гордимся тем, что написали первые строки в этой новой главе в истории материалов » – Ricardo Guadalupe, HUBLOT CEO

Иногда часовщики – единственные, кто знает некоторые детали своих часов. С корпусом и браслетом, полностью сделанными из сапфира, раскрываются все секреты: механизм и корпус плавятся, и все детали видны.

Корпус этого нового Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire был полностью реконструирован для размещения механизма с автоматическим турбийоном. Цель: удалить почти все видимые винты, изменить общую геометрию корпуса, чтобы интегрировать его с сапфировым браслетом, разработать новый профиль корпуса, в котором разместится сапфировый браслет, и переработать мосты и основные пластины, чтобы придать им иллюзию. быть подвешенным в космосе. Hublot также разработала вставки и насадки, которые были уменьшены до их простейшего выражения, чтобы свет проникал сквозь каждый компонент. Таким образом, корпус состоит не менее чем из 37 компонентов, пять из которых сделаны исключительно из сапфира.

Браслет также представлял собой сложную задачу: только он состоит из 165 компонентов, 22 из которых изготовлены из сапфира. У каждого компонента был свой производственный процесс. Треть из них была специально разработана, чтобы обеспечить уникальную гармонию с прозрачностью корпуса, а также обеспечить плавность и гибкость. Особого внимания заслуживают титановые вставки, разработанные Hublot, которые были очень уменьшены, чтобы гарантировать, что они не выступают с обеих сторон каждого звена браслета – впервые для мануфактуры и, вероятно, для часового искусства.

Что касается механизма, то центральным элементом этой модели является автоматический мануфактурный калибр HUB6035, полностью разработанный и изготовленный на собственном производстве. Он демонстрирует идеальный баланс между микроротором в положении «12 часов» и турбийоном в положении «6 часов», а также с его тремя прозрачными сапфировыми мостами, эксклюзивными для этого нового Big Bang. Компоненты кажутся буквально подвешенными в космосе. В каждую зубчатую передачу проникает не только свет, проникающий со стороны циферблата и проходящий через скелетный механизм с другой стороны: теперь и впервые свет проникает в сердце Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire со всех сторон. Он рассеивается, преломляется, отражается, скручивается и закручивается – это фрагмент света, заключенный на запястье.

“The Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon White… different, yet resolutely Hublot. It combines the distinctive codes of our brand: 6 H-shaped titanium screws, “sandwich” case construction, the Art of Fusion with carbon fibre and composite inclusions, an HUB6020 skeleton tourbillon manufacture movement custom-designed for its tonneau case, a jewel of innovation and expertise showcasing the aesthetic approach to movement design central to the Hublot philosophy, and, lastly, strap interchangeability thanks to its patented One Click system.

In the seven years since its launch in 2014, the singular and distinctive Spirit of Big Bang has been cultivating its differences whilst incorporating the signature Hublot codes – 6 H-shaped titanium screws, a “sandwich” case construction, and a demonstration of the Art of Fusion.

With the Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon 5-day Power Reserve Carbon White, Hublot combines black with white, proving opposites attract. The 42-mm case, case back and bezel are crafted from carbon fibre featuring white composite inclusions. These white inclusions are formed of glass microfibres created as a non-woven fabric (NWF), used mainly to improve the breaking strength of composites: This NWF is then co-impregnated with the carbon fibres using tinted epoxy resin when the composite preforms are created in a special mould.

Released in a limited edition of 100 pieces, the Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon 5-day Power Reserve Carbon White plays with contrasts and transparency with a sapphire case back and dial which reveal the ultra-aesthetic architecture of the HUB6020 manufacture movement. A skeleton tourbillon specially designed to sit within the tonneau case of the Spirit of Big Bang. A power reserve of 115 hours, hand-wound, with a 5-day indicator set at 8 o’clock. At 6 o’clock, the tourbillon cage completes one rotation per minute. Off-centre hours and minutes can be read at 3 o’clock.
Paired with a white lined rubber strap, the Spirit of Big Bang White embraces interchangeability thanks to its patented “One-Click” system.

ЧАСЫ HUBLOT MECA-10

Часы, вдохновившие на создание часов: сотрудничая с мануфактурой L’Epée из Юры, Hublot выпустила увеличенную версию своего знаменитого мануфактурного механизма MECA-10 для использования в настольных часах.

Презентация Hublot механизма MECA-10 в январе 2016 года ошеломила любителей часов. Мануфактура заново изобрела ручной механизм, предлагая непревзойденную производительность, а также уникальный стиль, вдохновленный конструкционной системой Meccano. Необычная скелетная архитектура придает механизму поразительную трехмерную глубину, которая хорошо видна через мосты и заднюю крышку. Его исключительный 10-дневный запас хода – теперь необходимый для любого приличного калибра с ручным заводом – отображается на диске, который можно прочитать на циферблате.

В 2020 году Hublot представила уникальный продукт в негабаритной версии. MECA-10 был увеличен в четыре раза для использования в настольных часах, при этом полностью сохранены его первоначальные характеристики, включая 10-дневный запас хода.

«Нам удалось воспроизвести уникальные особенности нашего механизма MECA-10 в большем масштабе. Этот инженерный подвиг был достигнут благодаря совместным усилиям команд Hublot и L’Epée. Таким образом, мы прокладываем новый курс священной традиции часового искусства. ”

Чтобы расширить свой механизм MECA-10, Hublot прибегла к услугам мануфактуры L’Epée. Всемирно известный опыт в часовом деле этой компании из Джуры сделал ее естественным выбором для сотрудничества, и, поскольку разработка наручных часов сильно отличается от создания часов, это также дало Hublot возможность продемонстрировать свой знаменитый подход «Art of Fusion». в новой отрасли часового искусства. Этот особенно впечатляющий результат был достигнут благодаря объединению опыта дизайнеров, конструкторов и мастеров часового дела Hublot и Epée.

Часы Hublot MECA-10, поразительно похожие на оригинал, по сути, являются увеличенной версией своего предшественника. В просторном корпусе 19,60 на 18,10 см находится драгоценный механизм, который представлен в двух версиях. Первый отличается углами в стиле Meccano и кольцом из полированной сатинированной стали и прозрачного композита. Второй покрыт черным PVD-покрытием, а мосты, поддерживающие зубчатые передачи, также покрыты черным покрытием. Заводная головка с насечкой в ​​положении «3 часа» покрыта резиной для лучшего захвата при ручном заводе.

Как и версия наручных часов, от которой он черпает вдохновение, часовой механизм MECA-10 имеет 10-дневный запас хода, который отображается на индикаторе у отметки «6 часов».

Эти два драгоценных выпуска часов MECA-10, плод тесного сотрудничества между Hublot и L’Epée, являются эксклюзивными экземплярами ограниченного выпуска, предназначенными для истинных ценителей.

Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot celebrates its 40th anniversary with another Big Bang! After Place Vendome in Paris, Rue du Rhône in Geneva, 5Th Avenue in New York City, New Bond Street in London, Heritage in Hong Kong Tsim Sha Tsui district, now comes Chuo-dori Street in Tokyo for the brand world’s biggest Flagship Boutique.

HUBLOT LOVES TOKYO!


In 2020, Hublot is turning 40! During this anniversary year Hublot has a reason to celebrate, as on May 26, its largest flagship store, the Hublot Boutique Ginza, will open. After Place Vendome in Paris, Rue  du Rhône in Geneva, 5Th Avenue in New York City, New Bond Street in London, Heritage in Hong Kong, now comes Chuo-dori Street in Tokyo.The swiss luxury watchmaker is now present on an iconic location on Chuo-dori Street. The new boutique, also called the “Hublot tower” thanks to its 56-meter-high dynamic façade, will offer Hublot a stylish, luxurious and open space. The Hublot Boutique Ginza perfectly expresses The Art of Fusion, the brand concept focused on the blending of materials and ideas. Across three floors, customers will be immersed in the world of Hublot. Visitors will find the whole collection displayed on the ground floor, the VIP experience room on the second floor and the exhibition area on the third floor.

We are honored to celebrate the opening of our new flagship Boutique in Tokyo. In only 40 years, Hublot has seen many firsts and many successes, and today is again another milestone for our Maison. We have long had presence on the most prestigious streets in the world’s metropolises and from today in Japan too, our number one market. The “Hublot Tower” is a symbol of the fusion of modernity and tradition that we ardently pursue and uphold in all our actions.” -Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot

The 56-meter high dynamic façade is the most idiosyncratic and artistic façade of the brand’s boutiques. The laminated glass panels scattered with mirrored pieces exhibits different sights: it reflects sunlight to create a beautiful glitter during the daytime, and at nighttime a luxurious glow appears to emanate from within.

The interior of the boutique, boasting the brand’s largest retail space at 330 square meters, reflects one of the important elements of Hublot’s watchmaking—its unique use of materials. The spacious boutique expresses on three floors the contemporary style so dear to Hublot: leather chairs, ebony tables, floors of marble or carpet, and an impressive staircase with sides made of zigzag laser-cut mirrored stainless steel.

Another highlight of the boutique is the crystal chandelier installed on the vaulted ceiling reaching more than 9 metres high, which can be rarely found in Japan. The entrance hall is full of a sense of openness and welcomes customers.

Each floor of Hublot Boutique Ginza expresses the fusion of quality materials and contemporary, luxurious beauty by boldly displayed pop artworks depicting Hublot timepieces and movements on the walls, stretching from floor to ceiling.
