Hublot Nation - where Audacity Meets Tradition!
Sep 16, 2014,07:37 AM
Hublot and The Hour Glass Singapore organized a cocktail party tonight at the Hublot Nation pop-up store in Paragon Singapore.
I was fortunate (have I really become the local Fx ?!) to be invited for this rather large scale cocktail party.
I am very new to Hublot as a brand and know very little about their timepieces so maybe Ken and Andrew can chip in here.
It was refreshing for me to learn about Hublot's offerings. I looked at some of their novelties and LE watches today, tried on a Hublot Fusion RG watch (and I really love the feel of it on my wrist to be honest, with the leather strap with the inner strap made of rubber) and got some Hublot poison meanwhile
At 42mm, I thought the Hublot Fusion was too big for me but hey, it wears pretty comfortable!
Also happy to meet fellow PuristS at the event as usual. Especially kpk all the way from India! Had to take a buddy wrist shot with him (I should have worn my VC Traditionelle had I known he would be wearing his!)
Some photos to share here. Enjoy!
Thank you Hublot and Hour Glass Singapore for organizing this party!
For those of you in Singapore, this pop-up store is still going on in Paragon Singapore from 16 to 22 Sep, 10am to 9pm - check it out if you happen to pass by the area.
Cheers

Pretty impressive set up eh? The Hublot Nation pop-up store
Quite a big cocktail party tonight!
Very interesting to learn about the Classic Fusion Tourbillon firmament and the Tourbillon Vitrail
The now famous Hublot LaFerrari with a 50 day PR, suspended Tourbillon, 11 series-coupled-barrels and 637 components!
The creative use of Magic Gold (very scratch resistant gold), carbon fibre and Ceramic in Hublot watches
Rich and colorful ceramic bezels!
Carbon fibre and Magic Gold case and bezel.
Some pieces on display
The RG Hublot Fusion - looks and feels nice on my wrist!
Not bad at all - with my new love for RG black dials
Skeleton manual wind version - I prefer the solid dial version
Pretty nice modern movement layout
What a wide selection of Hublot straps! And I didn't even manage to capture all of them!
Matthias Buttet, the man behind the LaFerrari and Makiko Nomura from Hublot Japan were present to grace the party
kpk, a fellow PuristS from India is in town! Good to see him tonight and here's a buddy shot! Opps we both don't own Hublot watches... let's make do with the VC and Lange for now
