The Jay Z Hublot

[Miguel Alvarez]

Thoughts? Mine are "eerrrr they make the rest of the Hublot range look good".

Could have been a lot, lot worse I think.

Why would anyone want a Jay Z watch though? An album I could understand, but a watch?

[Miguel Alvarez]

No idea. I fail to see who the person who will buy this is but then I don't work for Hublot or Def Jam so what do I know?

[Cheeky Jim]

$18k or $30k for a watch?

That's crazy.. even if you do have money to burn....

[Miguel Alvarez]

That doesn't bother me as such. What does is who on earth will buy this? Are Jigga fans really going to blow that sort of wedge on a watch? Or is it more a watch that happens to be designed by him? There was a time when I'd have bought a Naughty by Nature hoodie or a Wu Tang pair of Clarks but that sort of money on a watch seems like madness just to show how "hip hop" I am.

Indeed.

I guess you don't post here very often?

Depends on the watch. You should see the price of some of the real high end stuff.

That face is fugly! Other than that, I like it. Unfortunately it's inherently quite a focal point of a watch.

[Hoofy]

I was expecting a lot worse. It's actually no worse than the rest of the Hublot range. Just did a quick google to check.

Hate Hublot with a passion but this is something else, anybody who buys this needs shooting.

[Miguel Alvarez]

To be fair to Jigga I get the impression he is more reserved compared to most rappers. I read that he only wore the big chains because Dame Dash thought they looked good in the music videos.

[Vvroom]

^ indeed. He's a JLC fan. But I expect that's harder to rap about. "New watch alert; duometre".

See- doesn't work...!

[RDMcG]

I never go the point of celebrity watches unless they are Swatches for kids.

If Jay Z were to go out and but the RDMcG celebrity Patek, well , fair enough.

Easier to rap about JLC if you're a French rap group. You could probably drop "gyrotourbillon" in somewhere and nobody would bat an eyelid.

Slight over-reaction on my part possibly.
Dislike the brand and any watch they have ever produced.

[Miguel Alvarez]

I'm trying to find some pictures of his collection and I came across this Limited Ed trio of AP's. Much nicer than the Hublot range.

[Vvroom]

^ Agreed. Far nicer than the 'Ublo.

[TheJimi]

I'm not a fan of Hublot to begin with anyway, but I have to say, those are a LOT less garish than I expected. I don't actually find them all that offensive tbh

[BOR]

I'd wear the gold one. But only for the occasions when I'm fronting and maxing.
