Notes

Hublot is proud to support Only Watch 2011 by presenting a unique Oceanographic 4000. It is a symbolic watch. Unique because it is the first piece of a new ?family? of ultra-technical watches developed by Hublot but not yet released, capable of descending to the extreme depth of 4000 metres. Its esthetic balance is perfectly in keeping with the Principality, featuring red and white indexes to reflect the colors of the Monaco flag. Developed to push the limits of what is rational and possible, this watch is presented in association with the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco ; Hublot supports the Institute?s missions and scientific surveys. Hublot was the first Swiss luxury watch brand to fuse precious metals with rubber. This creative concept, known as the ?Art of Fusion?, led to a revolution in the watchmaking industry. In 2004, Jean-Claude Biver took control of the brand and gave it tremendous momentum. With the launch of the the multiple award winning chronograph the ?Big Bang?, Hublot achieved record sales and success. With its Big Bang, King Power, Classic Fusion and Masterpiece collections, Hublot continues to combine unusual materials such as magnesium, tantalum, tungsten, ceramic, titanium, zirconium and carbon fiber with traditional materials: gold, steel and diamonds. Hublot is the official timekeeper for FIFA and the official watch of Formula 1. Hublot Only
