The “Hublot Loves Dubai” banner flew high in 2015 at the Hublot boutique opening at The Dubai Mall,and here is the brand this year, bringing another great experience, The World of Hublot, to the city of life. Presenting its unique identity, pioneering concepts and collaborations with key partners Berluti, Ferrari and Italia Independent, the brand immersed fans and press in The World of Hublot through an experiential journey at its impressive multi-sectioned podium in The Dubai Mall Fashion Atrium.
On October 12, members of the local and regional press joined Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot, Marco Tedeschi, Hublot Regional Director Middle East &Africa, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons Vice Chairman Abdulhamied Ahmed Seddiqi and Chief Commercial Officer Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi to revisit Hublot’s All Black timepieces from the very first one launched in 2006, to the 2016 impressive Big Bang Unico Sapphire All Black, discover novelties, and learn more about Hublot and its collaborations with partner brands Berluti, Ferrari and Italia Independent. Esteemed Hublot clients and collectors also journeyed through The World of Hublot on the evenings of October 12 and 13 with Hublot and Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons management.
A large, fun crowd of friends, loyal customers and collectors joined the Hublot and Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons teams at the All Black party at a happening venue in Dubai on the first night.
“Just like our All Black concept is all about rendering the invisible visible, we decided to reveal The World of Hublot in full transparency to our customers and fans in the Middle East through a genuine experience in the region’s biggest retail space,” said Ricardo Guadalupe.
“We are proud to present Dubai with one of the biggest and most impactful Hublot events in the region. After the success of the Hublot boutique opening in The Dubai Mall, we are looking forward to yet another unforgettable journey with the brand and our customers,” shared Abdulhamied Ahmed Seddiqi.
Bringing past to future,The World of Hublot journey starts at the All Black section, where visitors discover the history of the pioneering monochrome concept dating back to 2006, and its evolution to become a current “must-have” trend.
