DJ/Producer MYRNE, Singapore’s first friend of Hublot sporting the
Big Bang Unico Titanium
“Experimentation is a huge part of my musical DNA and I
was incredibly honoured when Hublot approached me to be
the brand’s first Friend of Hublot in Singapore. I love that they
have a history of constantly challenging norms and daring to
be different, and I’m personally a huge fan of their Big Bang
Unico Titanium watch which really reflects my personality and
career; it’s classic and seemingly unassuming, yet powerful,
sleek and full of confidence.”
Mr Michael Tay, Group Managing Director of The Hour Glass,
added, “Music is constantly evolving, innovating, and reshaping
the world as we know it. MYRNE, a trailblazing Singaporean
icon known for pushing the envelope is therefore the perfect
fit to be Hublot’s friend of the brand, whose only interest in
boundaries extends to those that have yet to be created.”
He continues, “This is part of our longstanding commitment
to our partner Hublot, who has been confirming their passion
for the arts. From being the first official timekeeper of global
music phenomenon Ultra Singapore and the inauguration of
our new friend, The Hour Glass is proud to continue advancing
Hublot’s love for Music.”
About Hublot, The Exclusive Story of Fusion
"Hublot! A different way to progress," says those who know this
unique Swiss watch company, where each and every moment
moves forward to create the future at breathtaking speed. A
dream, initiated and developed by Hublot's Chairman Jean-
Claude Biver with CEO, Ricardo Guadalupe, these two men are
responsible for turning the Hublot brand into a genuine success
story in which the Big Bang, King Power, Classic Fusion and
Masterpieces represent the symbols of a constantly evolving
tradition. From watch complications and revolutionary
materials to world-class collaborations such as FIFA World
Cup™ and Ferrari, Hublot characterizes itself through the "Art
of Fusion" philosophy, bringing tradition into the future.
Today, with the high-tech Hublot manufacture, building on the
impressive growth of the brand, the Art of Fusion story is still
being written with the combination of materials like ceramic,
carbon, platinum, tantalum, tungsten, titanium, rubber with
more conventional materials as gold, platinum, steel, diamonds
and precious stones, while still remaining true to the Swiss
watchmaking tradition enriched with the visionary creativity
of the 21st Century. On a commercial level, the network of
retailers has grown rapidly and currently stands more than 90
boutiques around the world. For more information, visit www.
