The Swiss brand Hublot celebrates its 10 years with the  Hublot Polo Gold Cup Gstaad!

As the brand says its “A decade  of  innovation  at  over  1,000 metres above  sea  level  with  Hublot  Polo  Gold  Cup  Gstaad!” Hublot is celebrating 10-years  on,  Hublot  Loves  Gstaad: its authenticity, its magic,  its  ‘Swissitude’!

 For its 23rd  edition,  the  Hublot  Polo  Gold Cup gathered more than 2,000 spectators on the grass field of the Bernese  Alps.  In a setting that will never tire they came to admire the presence and technique of the  Bank  Eric Sturdza team which won the final!

It’s already been 10 -years for Hublot and the  Polo  Gold  Cup  Gstaad.  Ten is a highly symbolic number that contains the figure  1,  a metaphor for unity, and the figure  0, which represents matter and chaos. Two meanings that echo the Hublot philosophy.  Unity, via its desire to unite materials, universes, and personalities through fusion.  Matter and chaos define the most emblematic of Hublot ‘s watches —  the  Big  Bang,  which, like the universe, was also born of matter and chaos.

And more to add the Gstaad- is a magical and authentic place in the heart of rolling and lush landscapes, dotted with timber chalets,  where Hublot have returned year after year to spend the end of its summer.  A  typically Swiss picture postcard setting, so beloved of Hublot.

“2018 is a  special year since marking the  10 year anniversary of our collaboration with the Polo  Gold  Cup  Gstaad.  A decade of memories reminds us of all that we have created together.  By  sharing  common  values  and  philosophy,  we  have  celebrated  many  firsts!”  Ricardo  Guadalupe,  CEO  Hublot

Here is the review of a prolific partnership.  Through the Hublot  Polo  Gold  Cup  Gstaad, the watchmaker has celebrated many firsts.  Looking  back  at  some  of  the  innovation  over  the  decade  of  innovation:

2011- Launch of the Big Bang  Chukker  Bang .  The first Hublot watch inspired by and dedicated to polo, with its removable titanium grill protecting the sapphire glass during the game.

2015– An important year that marked two anniversaries at once —  10 years of the  Big  Bang and  20 years of the  Hublot  Polo  Gold  Cup  Gstaad.

 2016-  A year that marked the launch of the Classic  Fusion  “Chukker”.  A bi-compax chronograph in “Earth” shades whose counter at 9 o’clock measures the 7.5-minute duration of each chukker.  This year also marked the first  Chinese team participation in the tournament with the Tang  Polo Club of  Beijing,  led by its captain and owner  Shilai  Liu. Under the colours of the Hublot team, they went on to win the 2016  competition. It was also the year in which Ferrari  Switzerland became an official partner.  The old adage, the friends of my friends are my friends, rang true.

2018-  Together, Hublot and the  Polo  Gold  Cup  Gstaad celebrate the tenth anniversary of their partnership.  As a partner of the most prestigious polo clubs and the circuit ‘s emblematic tournaments, Hublot is establishing itself in the most kingly of sports.  2,000  years old,  the now universal sport of polo merges power,  speed, and precision in a spirit of elegance and social interaction.

Here is the Classic Fusion Chronograph Chukker to mark a decade celebration

It’s no wonder why Hublot has loved polo for 10-years.
