Ten years after the launch of the All Black concept, and to mark the anniversary of this current "must-have" trend, Hublot is disrupting the natural order. It uses transparency to foster a new connection between the visible and invisible.
In search of the perfect material for their watches, the engineers and chemists at Hublot researched the synthetic sapphire and found a transparent material robust enough to protect the mechanism efficiently. Hublot Genève are thus able to achieve unique aesthetic effects that make each of the timepieces a breathtaking and extravagant work of art.
