Been done many times before I know, but OMG just when you think nothing can top a diabolical multi-coloured gemstone encrusted Rolex, Hublot creates this monstrosity :crazy5vh: :swoon:
Yes certainly a niche market, its odd though that many of the truly rich woudnt entertain that sort of watch and would go for something still expensive, but much more conservative.They are marketed to two different consumers.
When you own customised Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, wear designer clothes, socialise with others with crazy amount of wealth, have a driveway longer than some UK roads.....you can see where Hublot are marketing these towards. Blending in with the crowd isn't the point; it's about being an individual with your own identity.
Might seem hideous or not to our tastes but it's not marketed to people like us either.
I've seen GS here in Thailand and they look dull as anything. Plus they don't suit being worn with t shirt and shorts attire.

You often find that really rich people wear something cheap, I seem to recall that Abramovich wears cheap watches as does Bill GatesYes certainly a niche market, its odd though that many of the truly rich woudnt entertain that sort of watch and would go for something still expensive, but much more conservative.
I`ve always had the impression those with serious wealth can often easily blend in with the regular crowd, those that have always had it dont flaunt it, and those who have found wealth later in life do, often in vulgar ways.
All I know is what they are seen usually wearing in public, it is pointless speculating what they might have hidden away at homeDo you really think those wealthy people only have a single watch?
Fixed it.Plus they don't suit being worn with a white cane.
I thought it was crass till you said that.someone has blinged up an enigma machine
Watches don't do it for some people, and I don't think he gives a fig about making a point or what other people think. I think if he woke up and felt like buying an expensive watch, he probably would, and if he felt like wearing n ugly watch, he probably would. But maybe he has shares in Casio.cheap out on a watch
The bezel recess for the screws on the AP you show are hex, so the screws align perfectly on correct assembly.AP has screws from behind which is why the bolts in the bezel are always lined up:
Agreed, which is why the AP's attention to detail make it such a design classic. There is so much excellence in the internal mechanics of the Hublot, that make the way the screws are fixed look like an afterthought, or sloppy engineering. Or maybe that's part of their design ethos, who knows ? I don't particularly like the Hublot's aesthetics, but I appreciate what goes into making it tick.And they are tightened from the screws in the caseback, not the front.
