Hublot Platinum

Hublot is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1980. The French name means “porthole.” Given the brand’s distinctive design language, the name is apt. Hublot has been part of the luxury group LVMH since 2008. A few years after luxury conglomerate LVMH acquired Hublot in 2008, industry-veteran Jean-Claude Biver took charge of watchmaking for LVMH, overseeing Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith.
