That is why when Hublot launched their gold watch with a rubber strap, it caused a sensation worldwide and that is one of the remarkable moments in watchmaking history.
The name, Hublot
When Carlo Crocco left his company that is known for making Breil watches, he stood up on his own and created a stronger watchmaking company. When he moved to Switzerland, that’s when he named his company “Hublot”, which means porthole in French. Creating the first watch to be launched wasn’t so easy, because it took Carlo Crocco three years of hard work and research to create the strap but his determination didn’t fail him. He was the very first ever to launch the first natural rubber strap in the world of watchmaking.
