To continue, we will now concentrate on the Hublot model for those of us on a budget, which will be the Hublot Classic Fusion collection. Now, at the beginning, we talked about the fact that when we talk about Hublot, we are going to focus on the 44 mm case, because this is the size that most of the time seems to fit the design the best and is the most popular overall. However, when it comes to the Classic Fusion watches, it is possible to deviate a little bit from this rule, because many of the Classic Fusion watches designed by Hublot look good in the smaller 42 mm casing. When it comes to pricing, the Classic Fusion can usually be found on the second-hand market for around $5k, so it’s much cheaper than the Big Bang in that respect. One thing to note is that some models of the Classic Fusion come with a quartz movement, which is a junk movement that uses a battery rather than an automatic process, so if you’re looking at a Classic Fusion, be sure to look at the type of movement it uses. Many of the really cheap listings you see online are quartz movements, so buyer beware. When it comes to the color combination that looks best and tends to work best with Classic Fusion replica designer watches, you should go with either a gold or titanium case, although if you really want to keep the price low, titanium will obviously be much cheaper than gold. As for dial colors to go with the titanium case: blue, black magic and white dials will tend to be the most popular.
Finally, we will discuss Hublot’s high-end tourbillon movement. For those of you who are not super familiar with tourbillon movements, it is a mechanism that constantly rotates the balance wheel, balance spring and escapement while the movement is running. This is done to counteract the effects of the earth’s gravity on the isochronism of the balance and the winding. So it’s a highly specialized movement that winds itself and fights gravity, which is pretty crazy when you think about it. Nonetheless, an incredible movement like this comes with a huge premium, so it’s really out of the reach of most watch enthusiasts who have less than $50,000 to $100,000 to spend. One thing that is very important to know about tourbillon Hublot watches is that they do not retain their value when bought new. In fact, the Hublot Bigger Bang Tourbillon in rose gold has a suggested retail price of over $100,000, but sells for only $75,000 on the pre-owned market. So if you must buy a Hublot tourbillon (which I don’t recommend, as you can get a better timepiece for that price), make sure you buy it used from a reputable source.

Finally, we took an in-depth look at the Hublot brand. We discuss the history of Hublot, the models, and the price points of the different models and movements. As one of the top watch brands in the world, you now have the knowledge to go out and buy the right model at the right price.
One of the most popular luxury watch brands in the world, Hublot started to make its mark back in 1980 when its founder, Carlo Crocco, left his job at the Binda Group to set out to create his own luxury watch brand. He decided to leave his native Italy for the mecca of watchmaking: Switzerland. Once he had set up a store in his new country, he created a new company called MDM Geneve and designed a revolutionary new watch that he called Hublot. The name comes from a French word called “porthole”, which can be translated to mean bull’s eye. The first timepiece created by Croco became the world’s first luxury timepiece made with a natural rubber strap, which took more than 3 years of research to perfect. Although Hublot’s first day was a failure, and they couldn’t even sell a single watch at Baselworld, their brand recovered and eventually became a hit, clearing over $2 million in revenue in its first year. Fast forward to today, and Hublot has become a favourite among enthusiasts thanks to its strong wrist presence and innovative modern design. In this article, we will analyze the different types of Hublot models, as well as the price points of each model, as you will see.
First, we will focus on the iconic Hublot model that really put them on the map, the Hublot Big Bang Original. This is the flagship model of Hublot and has really touched the hearts of enthusiasts with its large design. If you’re going to buy a Hublot watch, I’d recommend a 44mm, as anything smaller than that would look odd, as the Big Bang is designed to have a powerful impact on the wrist, something that is difficult to achieve with swiss replica watches with smaller cases such as 41mm or 42mm. In terms of price, typically with these models you’ll be looking at around $10,000 to $20,000, depending on the specific reference number of the model you’re buying. The color combinations for these models look great in rose gold with black carbon fibre dials, rose gold with blue dials, original black magic, and original steel ceramic with carbon fibre dials.
Next, we will present another variant of the Hublot Big Bang, the Hublot Big Bang Aero. Whenever you see the word “Aero”, all it means is that a particular Hublot model is equipped with a so-called skeleton dial, which basically means that the dial is open, so the internal movement can be seen. Today, skeleton dials are very popular and are highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors, so these types of watches carry a premium. Due to the extreme popularity of skeleton dials, Hublot has launched many different types of aviation collections, so it can be overwhelming for beginners to know which models are the best ones to start with. Some common Aero models with skeleton dials made by Hublot for beginners are: the Big Bang Aero Bang, the Aero Fusion and the Classic Fusion Aerofusion. The good news is that if you are shopping for a Hublot watch, almost all of these models bring incredible value, especially in terms of money aspect. Many in the watch industry like to compare Hublot’s skeleton dials to Richard Mille’s, some even calling them “the poor man’s Richard Mille”. Considering that Richard Mille is now arguably the most prestigious watch brand in the world, this is a huge compliment for Hublot if you judge it on the basis of desirability, rarity and the premiums its timepieces command on the secondary market.
