Luxury watchmaker Hublot & The Watch Gallery bring you two exclusive gentlemens watches, for love, style and reputation.
Think James Bond’s brother, younger and a little bit of a rebel but boy does he know how to dance and his car, well is just a little faster than his brothers.
Watches are just one of those unique areas when men get to have fun, and Hublot understands what contemporary luxury means. Less words, more muscle, but with a smooth suntanned exterior.
I have visions of my man Hublot, sitting with some friends at a bar, with the sun going down wearing his piece of Swiss rubber & tech combo on his wrist.
If men choose watches to join the top group or distinguish themselves I think my friend Hublot could now be leading the group.
So friends of Hublot, sit down pour yourself a fine malt and lets gets to see whats under the bonnet of these suped up babies.

The Bucherer Special Edition watches feature satin-finished titanium cases and highly distinguishable H-shaped screws, meanwhile The Watch Gallery signature blue case back adds a subtle yet unique design feature.
Inspired by Hublot’s material experimentation, titanium has become increasingly popular in contemporary watchmaking.
Tough, lightweight, anti-corrosive and hypoallergenic.
Hublot has fused titanium with a polished satin-finished black ceramic bezel.
The blue trend continues in the blue sun-ray satin-finished dial, and also in the two blue straps supplied with the watch – one rubber, and the other rubber-lined alligator.
Once again, the overarching use of blue mirrors Bucherer’s own navy handwriting – a subtle nod to Hublot’s choice partnership.
The watch itself is powered by the HUB1143 automatic calibre and provides 42 hours of power reserve.
Inspired by avant-garde designs first launched by the company in the early 1980s, shortly after it was founded.
Hublot pioneered the use of gold with rubber, daringly fusing precious and industrial materials in a package that disrupted the watchmaking conventions of its time.
Despite only slight differences in the two models, they change the look of the watch considerably. The Chronograph has polished rhodium-plated hands and a blue chronograph second hand giving it a sports-led look whereas the Classic Fusion is more a classic approach to serve as the perfect everyday watch.
Director of Buying & Merchandising spoke about their 3rd limited edition collaboration with Hublot saying that he felt it bridged the gap between sports style and an elegant evening watch, the deep blue of the dial complementing any formal occasion and the fusion of the ceramic bezel and titanium case underlining the toughness of the watch.
