Hublot Depeche Mode Watches
Dec 19
Swiss watch maker Hublot is making 12 awesome piece unique watches with musical group Depeche Mode. Hublot is teaming up with Depeche mode as part of a charity concept to benefit the Teenage Cancer Trust that will take place on February 17, 2010 at the Royal Albert Hall in London (tickets are available at Livenation).
Hublot will be making 12 one-off watches for an accompanying charity auction to support the event. Each of the 12 watches will have one of Depeche Mode’s album covers on the dial. The watches will most likely be a Hublot Big Bang modified specially for the one-of-a-kind watches. While images of the watches haven’t been seen yet, we can imagine how cool they will be.
In all likelihood the watches will be auctioned off as a set. Meaning that one lucky auction bidder will be able to own the entire collection of 12 watches – a perfect collector’s item for the ultimate fine watch, and Depeche Mode music fan. Both Hublot and Depeche Mode are excited about the collaboration – and I can’t wait to see what the watches looking sometime next year.

If you’re a G-Shock junkie then chances are you’ve heard of Sjors. His G-Peopleland website is the ‘A to G’ of G-shocks… his boundless passion and knowledge for these unique timepieces makes him an authority on their every facet. With G-shocks very much in the limelight this year on the back of Casio’s monster ‘Shock the World’ promotion we decided to check in with Sjors for a guided tour of his amazing collection – which at the time of writing was pushing on 500 Casios!
