saiekepsythamovee on February 23, 2011 if anybody has the names of the people in this clip, let us know we’re documentary filmmakers doing a film on the fear of public speaking and can’t find out who these people are!!
Need the price of the Chrono Classic Hublot how can I get it ?
Regards
Dear Community,
The time didn’t allow M. Biver to answer to all the questions. But we keep your questions and, please, stay tuned for the next video live chat of the Hublot Live Series!
We would be really happy exchange with you again.
Hublot Team
Another great session. Thank you Mr. Biver for your openness and to share valuable time with this Live Chat. Great job again Hublot team!
What future design trends do you expect in the watch industry?
What should in your opinion be the definition of “Swiss made”?
Bonjour Monsieur Biver. Just hopping in, so sorry if this has been covered before. What is the number of watches that come out of the factory everyday, and is this stable or is it likely to grow ? At what pace ?
Bonjour Monsieur Biver,
Tout d’abord, je suis particulièrement admiratif du travail que vous avez réalisé avec Hublot dans le monde de l’horlogerie!
Je suis un artiste de musique de la région nyonnaise, provenant de la cité horlogère, et je cherche des partenaires prêt à me soutenir dans mes projets. J’ai la particualrité d’être l’unique artiste de rap à travailler aussi bien en Suisse qu’aux USA. J’y ai fait de nombreuses collaborations (NYC – Miami).
Serait il possible de vous rencontrer, vous ou un membre de votre équipe, pour vous parler de mon projet ? Auriez vous une adresse mail de contact ? Un grand merci d’avance pour votre réponse.
Meilleures salutations.
Sempé

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Milan Blagojevic.
it’s me again…
how often do a BB needs a service?
Thanks and your live chat ist just great! Congratulation!!
Mr. Biver
You are normally regarded as one of the saviours of (Swiss) Watchmaking.
Are there any watchmakers or brands today that make you feel ashamed you did save it ?
In other words, are there watch brands today you don’t like? (you don’t have to name any, just would like to know if there are any)
Best, Sérgio
Mr. Biver
You are normally regarded as one of the fathers of (Swiss) Watchmaking.
Are there any watchmakers or brands today that make you feel ashamed of your “offspring” ?
In other words, are there watch brands today you don’t like? (you don’t have to name any, just would like to know if there are any)
Best, Sérgio
Guten Morgen Herr Biver,
habe Sie im TV gesehen und die Reportage zur 1 Millon Hublot.
Ich war von dieser Passion begeistert und bin fest davon übezeugt, dass dies ihre Marke auch weiterhin zum Erfolg führen wird.
Eine seltenheit in der heutigen Wirtschaft.
Ich bin begeistert und Sie haben nun einen neuen Hublotanhänger.
Hatte die Einführung des Hublotista Club einen positiven Einfluss auf die Kundenbindung und konnte damit auch die Sicherheit für den Einkauf der Kunden erhöht werden( Stichwort Replicas)?
Vielen Dank!
Will you be in Monaco for Monaco Yacht Show this year?
Bonjour M. Biver. Premièrement bravo.
Will Hublot play in other fields than the watch industry again? I think about the Hublot sledge… Could you help a start-up in the future if it’s closely related to Hublot in term of philosophy?
Good Morning Mr. Jean Claude Biver,
1) With a friend, this summer we wish to visit Watch Manufactures in
Switzerland. Is it possible to visit the Hublot Manufacture in Nyon?
2) Mr. Jean-Biver, passion is what fuels you and helps you make the
decisions in your everday life. When you graduated from HEC Lausanne, was
it a personal objective to find passion or did passion come without you
searching for it?
Hi J.C.!
Will Hublot release a “true” GMT movement like what is found on the Rolex GMT movements?
Thank You and Hi From the Philippines!
Morning Mr Biver,
What is your CSR policy?
How is that influenced by being part of LVMH?
Do you decide on these strategies independently?
Thanks for your answers in advance.
Good Morning Hublot,
Will Hublot equip all Big Bangs in the future with the HUB4100 movement, and will Hublot ever go fully in house with it’s movements at some point in the next 5 years?
Our Regards from Bal Harbour, Florida.
Hi,Biver
Please share your excellent experience of sales management?What about Hublot marketing and advertising?What support dose Hublot need to provide for the agents?Thx!
Dear Mr Biver,
The watches are more and more luxury now, as a collector of antique watches, what do you think about the watch appreciation space?Thx!
Hi Mr. Biver
First I bought a Blancpain, now I intent to buy a BB, ceramic black magic. I’m playing golf and I heard, that playing golf is not good for watches. Would you recommend, not to wear the watch during playing golf? Or is the BB strong enough?
Thanks for your answer
Martin

Dear Mr Biver,
I am thinking about buying myself a Hublot Classic Fusion in 38mm.
My question concerns the spare part supply in the future f.e. case,strap,parts for the HUB 1110 etc.
Is Hublot giving any guarantee 10,20 or 30 years?
Thanks for your feedback and the chance to chat with you.
Best regards
Martin
Hello Mr. Biver, Thank you for this opportunity to speak with you. I am very excited about the upcoming F1 season and HUblot’s involvement. Will we see anything special for the upcoming US Grand Prix. And will Hublot ever offer a Tang type buckle for the straps?
Thank You
Michael
i can’t weht 4 it to sate
Dear Mr Biver,
Congratulations on your live chat, it turns to be an amazing idea !
My question is as follows : Will you keep the Big Bang design identical throughout the years, just like many mythical watches remained since their apparition, or are you planning on make it evolve, following the trends ?
Thank you very much in advance !
Dear Hublot Team,
How many pieces of limited edition Big Bang Maradona of Hublot？
How about the Hublot’s campaign?
Nice chat last time! thanks M. Biver!
What are the objectives for Hublot brand in 3 years ?
What are your expectations, for yourself ?
Dear Hublot Team,
I’ve seen an infomercial about your 1 Million watch on German TV and liked the attitude of Mr. Biver very much. The world needs more of those people, that see opportunity instead of danger.
I just wanted to write you, that diamonds are fancy, but I’d love a more technical watch. Solar cells, radio controlled and damn cool materials like Aerogel or transparent Aluminium (ALON). Not that I could afford one of those watches, but I love new and future proof stuff.
Oh and write me an email, if you need a patent engineer ;)
Regards,
Markus
