Hublot have established a position for themselves that most non WIS would place higher than Breitling - c'est la vie.

Doesn't Hublot have three in house movements? Well, maybe more or less, but Im sure they had some in-house movements, right?


Hublot has no in house Calibre as CEO Jean-Claude Biver recently said. They are currently using the 7750 Valjoux movement. And they will not produced any for the foreseeable future.

No, they unveiled it last year and I mentioned that in the Hublot thread on February 14th - a discussion that F14D_Tomcat was part of. :roll:

They are rolling the first movement (1240) out into watches this year and have stated that they will continue to expand Unico going forward.

Hey, I'm bringing this topic up again, but I'm asking for a bit more specifics.

I saw this post about last week:

Driver8 wrote:
Sadly I don't own this watch (nor have I, although I definitely want a RD someday), but for me, it's the Lemania 2310 base used in this Roger Dubuis Easy Diver Chronograph. Incidentally this is the same base movement used in couple of Patek Philippes, Vacheron & Constantins and Breguets.

It was to my understanding that Pateks used in-house movements for all their watches, and I thought the same for RD watches as well. D8 noted that they use the same base movement of the one pictured, so how exactly does that make them in-house or worth the price(I know the "worth and value" argument, but that's not the point)?

They aren't all completely in house. These are highly modified, but they are Lemania based in entry level models. Sure entry level is relative for a Dubuis, but there you go.
