“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” I’m fairly sure Arthur C. Clarke didn’t have Hublot - or even watches - in mind when he made the now famous futurist statement. But it’s certainly something that rings true for Hublot’s latest ceramic marvel. Because while most watch fans are familiar with the use of … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: It’s a kind of magic – Hublot’s Big Bang Red Magic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
