Grand Opening Of The Hublot 2 Manufacture In Nyon, Switzerland
Tuesday, September 29th 2015, saw the official opening of Hublot 2, Hublot's new workspace that adds a massive 8,000 m2 to their operational space. Located in Nyon, a literal stone's throw from Hublot 1 (built in 2009), Hublot 2 will enable the brand?to delve deeper into the manufacturing process, conduct more essential research and development, and increase their assembly and after-sales production �C a pressing necessity given the explosion of popularity the brand has enjoyed over the past decade.The new Hublot 2 Manufacture...Standing next to, but most certainly not in the shadow of, Hublot 1, Hublot 2 is larger than its predecessor and perhaps even more ambitious. It would be too clean cut to suggest Hublot 2 will be "superior" to Hublot 1, rather this new build is a site expansion that will enable Hublot to split the responsibilities of their buildings as they see fit....and the "original", Hublot 1 manufacture.A good deal of Hublot 1 has been migrated to Hublot 2, which currently

Thinking of jumping ...
Thinking of getting a 5164 and selling my 5167. Although I think the 67 is a great daily beater, I'm getting bored with it. Also, I don't travel anymore, but think it would be cool to have a complication like the 64. It's a thicker case and I can't read the date, so anyone who has done this I would be interested in your thoughts. Also, if you want to talk me out of it that's fine also ! I'm only looking at SS, not the RG piece.

A little experiment with the 8-days
A little experiment : In order to test the power reserve of my 2 Panerai's with the 8 days movement, I wounded both on Sunday Feb 14th. At 8pm both were fully fully wounded and I put them away without wearing. This morning both watches stopped and apparently the acclaimed 8 days movement is in fact a 10 days movement. Why bother buying the 10 days automatic smile unless it runs for 12 or 13 daysTest results : Movement 8 days PaneraiStart Feb 14th, 8pmPanerai PAM317Total duration 10d13h10mPanerai PAM623Total duration 10d13h34mMaybe some of you have tested the 10 days too....can't wait to hear from you guys that have a 10 days movement Panerai. At first I was thinking to purchase a 10 days model to complement my little collection, but after this test I'm not that convinced anymore.
