Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about buying, shipping and authenticating your watch.
How much are Hublot watches?
Prices vary widely with materials and edition. Pre-owned Hublot Big Bang models often start in the mid-single-figure thousands and climb steeply for precious metals, complications, and limited runs. The numbered Big Bang 44 mm in our collection is €7,450. For a figure on a specific reference, send photos for a same-day valuation.
What is Hublot?
Hublot is a Swiss watchmaker founded in 1980, based in Nyon, that made its name by pairing a luxury case with a rubber strap and then by its “Art of Fusion", blending unusual materials. The Big Bang, launched in 2005, turned the brand into a modern icon known for bold, contemporary design.
Who owns Hublot?
Hublot is part of LVMH, the French luxury group, which acquired it in 2008 and sits it alongside watch brands like TAG Heuer and Zenith. LVMH’s backing funded Hublot’s in-house Unico movement and its global expansion, while the brand kept its base and manufacture in Nyon, Switzerland.
Are Hublot watches good?
Technically, yes. Modern Hublot uses in-house movements like the Unico chronograph and serious materials science, including its own scratch-resistant alloys and coloured ceramics. The styling is divisive and the watches wear large, but the engineering is real, so quality is rarely the question with Hublot; taste is.
Why are Hublot watches so expensive?
Much of the cost is materials and process: developing and machining ceramics, sapphire, and proprietary alloys is expensive, as are the in-house movements and limited editions. Brand positioning and heavy marketing add to it. A numbered piece like the Courchevel Big Bang also carries scarcity, which supports its price.
