And Hublot does seem to have a lot of hardcore fans, so maybe I am wrong in stating that their popularity is diminishing.

However, one thing that have noticed since the acquisition by LVMH, is less commitment from the US staff. Prior to being with LVMH I really liked Hublot and dealing with them (including meeting in Baselworld), however, post LVMH my primary contact seems to have become pretentious. After kindly sending information and appointment requests, I was simply ignored. For that reason, I find it very hard to support the brand, when almost every other brand I deal with is open and willing to provide information and meet with me in-person. When dealing with watch brands, the best ones have a “je ne sais quoi” ( a certain something), and that makes me want to deal with them and ultimately buy from them. At first I thought Hublot had it, now I am not so sure. AP, JLC, Breitling, the Swatch Group, etc….. they all have it, I just want to do business with them.

I found the wide variance in visitors to be quite striking as well! Perhaps Baselworld would explain this (a high time of year for many watch sites), but I do not know for sure.

Thanks for weighing-in with your thoughts.

Thanks for your comments. While some aspects of the site are neat, and I admire Hublot for having a site that does not fit the mold, I think Hublot went too far. I find the site difficult to navigate and almost too flashy for its own good. And those with a DSL-equivalent Internet connection may find it particularly slow to load and browse.

As I said in my post, I expected more from Hublot on this. But I am always open for debate – as I figured this post would generate some passionate views!

As for the website, I thought pages like these were neat. After all who wanted to see only the front of the watch! For me, I like to see watches from every angle.

And I do prefer the old website over the new one.
