The company's name, "Hublot," is French for "porthole." Hublot is a luxury watch brand founded in 1980 by Carlo Crocco. The manufacturer is known for their innovative designs that keep pace with current trends. Hublot has enjoyed a close relationship with soccer since 2008. They are the official timekeeper of the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship for men's and women's soccer. The manufacturer is also involved in the UEFA Champions League and the Europa League.
Prices for Hublot watches depend on many factors such as the exact model, materials, and complications. While you can buy a pre-owned Hublot watch with a quartz movement for less than 1,000 USD, the Hublot Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire pushes 370,000 USD. One of Hublot's most popular models is the Classic Fusion, which you can buy on Chrono24 for around 7,000 USD in excellent condition. Prices for Big Bang Unico chronographs start around 10,000 USD.
The value of Hublot watches has been relatively stable over the last decade. As for most luxury watches, there are many factors that influence the value of Hublot watches. Supply and demand plays a key role. However, the watch's material and whether it is a limited-edition timepiece are also decisive factors. That said, Hublot watches are not suitable as investment watches if you want to turn a quick profit.
