A Little Look at Hublot's Unique Watchmaking Abilities

Hublot’s history started in 1944 when Italian watchmaker Carlo Crocco was born. Since his birth, he was regarded as being the potential heir for his uncle’s company: Binda Group, a widely respected and decorated dynasty specialized in crafting Breil watches. However, in 1976,  Crocco defied family tradition and boldly struck out on his own. However it wasn’t like he didn’t like watchmaking, it was that he wanted to be the creator of a watch design which would be unlike any he or his family had produced before.

He succeeded in 1980 when he first created the Hublot watch, after raising $4 million and opening  MDM Geneva. The unique features of the watch had to do with its gold case and natural rubber strap. This was the very first time in the history of watchmaking, in which a precious underground material was combined with an above-ground natural substance. The influence of this technique soon spread, which lead to many other leading watchmaking brands starting to use rubber in their products as well.
