sssurfer Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 http://watchmakingblog.com/2008/03/26/hublot-parts/ Reading about their snobbish attitude and the spokes they put in their customers' wheels, I am doubly glad there are pretty decent reps around...

Corgi Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I guess their mentality is "if their rich enough to throw away their money on one of our ugly over-hyped watches they can afford shipping charges and probably have another watch to wear while they wait for repairs to finish, anyway" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony7777 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Interesting thread. But the question remains, if Hublot watches are relatively easy to rep, then why are the prices so high for a good one??? Pricing appears to be in the $700-$800 range. Is it the casing?

siesta181 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hublot blows.....Brand with little tradition, no in-house movement, flashy ass pants for a fanbase. They'll wither soon enough... but then again stranger things have happened. Cheers Siesta181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kronos twin Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I often wonder what will happen to the industry when it reaches a breaking point in respect to problems such as these. Even if you can afford to get a watch serviced like this, who wants that kind of service? Hublot, I like your Big Bang, but what are you gonna do when the Big Bust hits you and the tried and true brands whose support of watchmakers and independently owned watch repairmen take your business. You'll be an overblown Ritmo Mundo selling your wares to fools and that will be the only thing your brand will stand for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollux1 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I do hope the man in China who reverse engineered the HBB was qualified to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 It is actually quite brilliant and mean spirited on their part - it ensures revenue to either their AD's (whose sales have fallen precipitously in the current economic environment) or their own service center. The one which makes me scratch my head is the requirement of the Panerai shop to show up with proper papers in order to service it. I suppose it implies they don't trust their own staff to identify fakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donpedro Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Has Hublot sales declined, does anyone know? At least for me, the hype initially surrounding the brand has pretty much died off, although I still think the Big Bangs look cool. Cheers!
