If all the schools in the world were to choose a watchmaking partner, or if all watch brands were to associate with schools, the watch industry would be able to ensure generations of attachment to its values. All this within a context where some pupils rarely read anything other than their smartphone… Although somewhat elitist, the Hublot and Collège du Léman joint initiative thus deserves credit for creating a Big Bang limited series bearing the colors of the prestigious international school on the outskirts of Geneva. Enthroned in a display case at the entrance to the establishment, the self-winding satin-brushed stainless steel chronograph is a 20-piece limited edition of which two are intended for the schools valedictorians. The eye-catching blue of its ceramic bezel is also picked up in the lateral composite resin inlays, the rubber inserts on the crown and pushers, as well as extending to the crocodile leather strap. The other dominant color of the school crest – red – enlivens the luminescent hands and hour-markers, gold-rimmed like the Collège du Léman initials appearing at the top of the dial at 12 o’clock. The last golden touch appears in the strap stitching. It is too soon to find out whether children or parents will form the majority of those slipping this timepiece onto their wrist…
