Hublot Nation - where Audacity Meets Tradition!
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

Opps! I was not told any watch was not released! :P
Pls remove any pics if needed Andrew. Sorry about that. For me as a Hublot newbie, the RG black dial Fusion spoke the most to me. I thought it would be a tad big for me at 42mm but it fitted nicely and the comfort of the strap with the rubber inner strap ...

Good spot Rei...
with your eagle eyes I knew you would notice... it is mentioned in the press release (Forbidden X) but as soon as I know will post more pics. It is one very special watch which I was lucky enough to try on a few months back and had to try to keep quiet ab...
Aha! Ok will wait for the info.
Also saw an AB CF chrono with purple accent from the other site. Maybe a Malmaison's LE? Many nice things there huh :p
Well done Robin.
Glad you gained some exposure to Hublot! Definitely a brand that has become quite relevant over the past 10 years.
Agree Michael.
I also think Hublot is establishing itself very well in the last few years as a haute horology brand, something different yet with traditional watch making craft cheers robin
Great coverage, Robin!
Looks like a fun event - hope the "pop-up" shop come here again! Thanks, Robin! Ken
My pleasure Ken!
These pop-up concepts are great! I am sure you have them often in Tokyo too cheers robin
I am big fan of Hublot BUT your RG black dialled Dato is to die for!
I wish....I wish! hahaha... Thanks for the report, I may wish to get some straps if I am there.
Thank you Rei!
I really love my "Wongraph" a lot. You are so well versed in Hublot watches! I can consult you next time :) cheers robin wong, owner of Wongraph
