Hublot
In 1980, the first Hublot watch was created by the Italian entrepreneur and founder of the brand Carlo Crocco, who was dedicated to designing a practical watch that could resist the elements. Inspired by a ship’s porthole (a ‘hublot’ in French‘), the gold case, minimalist black dial and natural rubber strap became the aesthetic signature of Hublot watches. Decades later, Hublot is the standard for high-end sports watches. Designed to offer visitors a bright, warm, and welcoming ambience, the Hublot South Coast Plaza boutique will combine luxury with modernity, and tradition with innovation.
The luxury watch brand Hublot (French for "bullseye") based in Nyon, Switzerland was founded in 1980 by the Italian Carlo Crocco. The company founder was able to combine Italian design with Swiss craftsmanship and produce unconventional products. Even if the success did not start immediately, the company's history has become a success story. With the help of clever marketing strategies and unusual concepts, Hublot became the "Rising Star" among Swiss watchmakers. When Hublot was sold to LVMH in 2008, sales were estimated at 200 million Swiss francs.
