“Hublot always breaks the rules,” says Julien Tornare with enthusiasm that is characteristic of the man. It’s something of a pre-requisite when it comes to being Hublot’s CEO. Tornare took over the reins six months ago, after serving his tenure as CEO at both Tag Heuer and Zenith. “Breaking the rules” isn’t a throwaway marketing line for Tornare. He’s happy to elaborate on just why perfect Hublot replica watches has been a maverick from the very beginning. “Back in the initial years of Hublot, the brand’s founder Mr Crocco was actually the first one to bring a rubber strap next to a gold case. In the 80s and 90s this was almost a crime.”
Hublot is celebrating 20 years in India – a market where the Swiss luxury watchmaker has seen exceptional success despite being considerably younger than a lot of Swiss watchmaking contemporaries. “Hublot is a young brand. It’s only 45 years old this year but it’s become one of the major players in the industry because of innovative use of materials and marketing,” says Tornare, adding that all those attributes became mainstays of the brand under the helm of Jean Claude Biver in 2014. “Hublot was the first to develop new materials, introduce unique ad campaigns and fresh points of sales,” says Tornare while holding UK 1:1 fake Hublot’s latest India edition watches.
Hublot’s India edition watch
“We don’t do many special editions in many markets, but in India, I think it’s been very important to work on something that has codes that are meaningful to Indian cities. Rose gold has become very popular as a metal in India. And we will do more such collaborations in the future.” The India edition in question is the new best 2025 replica Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Titanium King Gold Green watches. Designed with a satin-finished and polished titanium case, the luxury Hublot copy watches UK showcases an 18K King Gold bezel, reflecting India’s timeless love for gold.
“India is a very important market for us. That’s why I’ve come here only seven months after having taken over as CEO,” says Tornare. Perhaps it’s India’s affinity for large, opulent and robust timepieces that’s made the brand popular among the luxury watchbuying community. “I think India is developing very quickly. It’s a country with a lot of history and heritage, but also an innovative and dynamic spirit. Yes, people here like bold best quality Hublot fake watches and designs a lot. Maybe that’s the reason Hublot has done better in this market than many brands that are too classic, too common,” says Tornare.
Surely the Indian customer has evolved? Much like Hublot. Tornare agrees. “Hublot was relaunched 20 years ago with the Big Bang which was already a big name but also with the top China Hublot Classic Fusion replica watches that became very important to the Indian market. The Classic Fusion showed that Hublot could also be a fine, elegant and dressy watch.”
On the legacy of Jean Claude Biver
The man whose singular vision helped reshape LVMH’s watch division to what it is today, Jean Claude Biver looms large over the company, even after he relinquished command in 2018. Biver was the man who hired Tornare in 2017. “I know him well and everyone who’s been working with him remembers him as someone very inspiring. I think we all owe him the Big Bang, which is an incredible design, the fact that the Swiss made Hublot super clone watches was in layers and wasn’t one piece of metal.”
Tornare also attributes Hublot’s tendency to break through the shackles of conservative design, to Biver’s vision for the brand. “When the rest of the industry is a bit quiet, a bit conservative and takes a long time, replica Hublot watches for sale is still working like a start-up,” says Tornare, describing a work culture where anyone is allowed to present an idea, regardless of the department they work in. Everyone at Hublot is very hands-on.
On Hublot’s long-standing association with FIFA
“Hublot loves football,” Tornare declares when asked about FIFA. “Back in the day football was not considered a good fit for luxury,” says Tornare, elaborating that the perception stemmed not from the fabulous lives of footballers but rather from the notion that the majority of football viewers weren’t purveyors of luxury. “So Hublot was once again quite disruptive in making that association.”
Football has an ever-increasing audience in India, but it’s not quite as big as cricket. Can cheap Swiss copy Hublot watches‘ India fans expect a cricket collaboration? Tornare doesn’t give away any details. “I’m working on what we can do here. If I’m here it’s definitely for a good reason. We have to find the right face, the right person and the right marketing strategy for this to develop more,” says Tornare, mentioning cricket only towards the end, “It’s a huge sport here, so definitely if we want to target India specifically, I think cricket is a very good entry point. Especially for a brand like Hublot that’s quite active in sport.”
