Hello everybody, welcome to my RU-vid channel!
My name is Aleks and in this video I talk about the brand that everybody loves to hate - Hublot and why I bought one.
Hublot is one of the most hated brands in the luxury watch industry. Why is that? In this video I will give you my opinion regarding the hate towards the brand and if I believe the hate is justified or not.
I will also talk about my latest watch, the Hublot MDM Geneve ref. 1521.3 in 36m yellow gold with a quartz movement. I talk about what I like about it, how it wears on the wrist and why you should consider one (if you dare...)
Make sure you hit that like and subscribe button!

Have a classic fusion and a white ceramic Unico; both look great and distinctive (anyone who thinks either a classic fusion, big bang, etc. looks like a Royal Oak, much less a Nautilus, needs corrective lenses), are versatile, and receive many compliments.

The irony of hublot being known for copying the nautilus and the royal oak..only to have the favor returned when AP and PP came out with the offshore and the aquanaut.

Watch enthusiasts are like audiophiles. They are groupy type of people who just go with what's liked by the mainstream Market and popular brands. There are meny watches at all levels that are well made and crafted that are not very popular, mostly by design or cycle of their lives. There's nothing wrong with Hublot and it is judged on what is not trying to offer. Most people confuse Hublot with Patek Phillipe or JLC. Patek is closely focused on same niche as Richard Mille and yet no one complains about RM. The greatest watch is the one on your wrist. Don't worry about group vibes

Hublot watches are top notch and priced right. All this talk about the movement ignores that no one buys non-digital watches for their time. Watches are works of jewelry. Jewelry is about the quality of the finish and how it's cut to contain surface points that reflect light from light sources at all angles to destinations at all angles which is the science of how bling works.

I not oonly Own Hublts but I also have been to their factory in Nyon. Their material research and attention to detail is incredible. I have been to several other watch manufacture factory tours in Switzerland and what Hublot does to create each piece is nothing cheap. They innovated in many ways, They innovated with the first rubber bracelet while taking the heat at launch just to later on see rubber straps on every brand. No one calls this brand out for stealing that from Hublot. In the other hand you have truly overrated watch companies like RM with less history in watch making and much more ridiculous pricing for their pieces. And by the way, for everyone thinking that every company makes everything in house, you are wrong. Most of them, they outsource particular parts, (Bracelets, Clasps, Dials, Hands, gears, springs, etc) to houses that specializes in those components alone. I'm saying this because I have tour some of these component factories. The fact Hublot uses a Sellitas movement or ETA in some of their lower end watches means that your watch has a reliable yet established movement that any watchmaker can service fairly cheap. Buy what you like. Since social media exists, judgement and perception has gone bananas. Watches have become more of an accessory than a time keeping tool... Unless you haven't heard about cellphones.

No. Do I like the marketing / lifestyle advertising that accompanies them? No. Do I respect anyone who picks a watch that they love, despite contrary popular opinion and discourse? Hell yeah! If you love that watch and rock it, then more power to you. I don’t care if it’s a $200,000 Royal Oak or a $15 Swatch.
