How about rgeoinal stereotyping here in the Philippines? I’ll be a hypocrite if I didn’t heard of any rgeoinal stereotyping usually referring from one region or one ethno-linguistic group or a local from a certain place .

How is that you maintain the exclusivity of such wide range of designer wear? What made you feel that classics are classics and what motivated you to give your coustomers this kind of products and will you belive if I said India is going give you more sales than any country you have entered in the last three years?

I have a Hublot King Power Black Magic Ceramic. Is there is a possible solution for the screws?
Because the problem is that they stand off about 2 mm and therefore they scratch easier
… how can this be solved???
Thanks
you were talking about China and its high potential. What about Brazilian market? They LOVE luxury, but the mechanical watchest there are not so well known, but there’s still a high potential, is no it?
Encore merci pour cette qualité et ce design!!!
I wish The Key of Time was on the wrist today! :)
I am having too much fun seeing this live chat. We needed to slow down the time!
Thank you Mr. Biver for this event. Have a great week-end to you and the fantastic Hublot team.
Best wishes,
Joel
Have you ever been criticised before and how do you take criticism?
Have ever though about a collaboration with artists? Something like Bmw and his “art cars”
Hello Jean-Claude, how many watches have you at home?
comment avez vous eu l’idée de magic gold ?
Bonjour Monsieur Biver,
Ma question concerne l’implantation de la marque des marchés asiatiques et Dubaï / Qatar : les séries limitées semblent être à l’origine d’un grand succès auprès des clients de ces marchés. Quel est votre point de vue quand cela ? Prévoyez-vous de créer d’avantage de séries limitées visant ces marchés ?
Merci à vous,
Bien respectueusement,
Julien Asso

Hello Mr Biver,
My question will be focused on the Dubaï / Qatar markets : limited editions seem to provoke a great success among those markets. What is your point of view concerning the development of limited editions in those markets ? Is it a good way to attract those customers ?
Best regards,
Julien ASso
M. Biver bonjour, pourriez-vous m’expliquer pourquoi vos modèle de bracelet en crocodile earl grey ont des problèmes de tâches et décoloration?
J ai déjà du renvoyer la montre de ma femme 2 fois dans votre usine
Merci d avance de votre réponse
Meilleurs salutation M.croci
GOOD EVENING,

Bonjour JC,
How will Hublot maintain your vision and success with your new role?
Merci,
Nathan
Mr. Biver
In relation with the concepts, until now we know the MP 01 and MP 02, terrific masterpieces, but my question is:
Are you developing the MP 03 or another awesome concept ?
Simple question: Please tell us— what’s on your wrist today?
Bonjour M.Biver,
Sachez tout d’abord que je suis tres admiratif de l’ensemble de votre carriere, pout tout ce que vous avez fait pour pour le monde de l’horlogerie, et certainement sur ce que vous aller encore faire.
Etant amateur d’horlogerie, de Hublot en particulier, j’aimerais savoir si il serait possible de visiter la manufacture de Nyon.
Bien cordialement.
Bonjour Monsieur Biver,
Je suis chocolatier a Sierre et j’admire vos projets horlogers depuis longtemps.
Je pense depuis quelques temps qu’il serait possible d’allier nos deux plus grandes fiertes helvetiques (horlogerie et chocolat) dans un projet commun.
Qu’en pensez-vous?
Je serais ravi d’en discuter de maniere plus approfondie avec vous! Je ne pense pas etre de retour pour le chat en direct mais si cela vous interesse ce serait avec plaisir d’en debattre.
Meilleures salutations
Ramsauer Jeremy
Dear Mr Biver,
How would you describe the Russian market and their extravagant taste and desire for everything that blings?
Kind Regards,
Arina
Hello Mr. Biver
First of all, I want to say thank you very much for this time that you dedicate in this chat.
It is an honor talk with you Mr. Biver
I strongly suggest a register of stolen whatches for owners where we can post our serial number so the official dealers and repair stores can identify any of the stolen items. Thhis can be done with Rolex and other exclusive labels. Will this be possibe? I had my whatch stolen last month….
Bonjour monsieur Biver,
Quelles sont ,pour vous,les 10 montres les plus mythiques de l’histoire horlogère?
