INTRODUCTION
You have chosen a Hublot watch; you are about to enter a whole new world…
Every piece cultivates its distinction, to assert its powerful and incredible
personality every time. Yet this formidable wealth of materials, functions, colors
and shapes, gives rise to a singular watchmaker: Hublot.
Committed to the concept of “the Art of Fusion” and fuelled by this spirit of
innovation, the Swiss watchmaking manufacture Hublot represents the link
between watchmaking tradition and modernity, creating fusions of unexpec-
ted high-performance elements such as carbon, zirconium, tantalum, tita-
nium, tungsten, ceramic and aluminium with more conventional materials such
as gold, steel, diamonds and precious stones – while developing traditional
movements, always with an innovative and creative design.
This fundamental concept makes your watch a unique timepiece. As you turn
this page, you will enter the world of the BIG BANG MECA-10.

POWER RESERVE
INDICATOR
The MECA-10 movement (HUB1201) is fitted with two parallel barrels with a
power reserve indicator using a rack system.
At 12 o’clock, two racks slide on a 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock axis thanks to a rack
and pinion system. The 10-day power reserve has a dual display.
At 3 o’clock, an opening gradually reveals a red spot during the last 2 days of
the movement’s charge.
At 6 o’clock, a crown gear marked from 0 to 10 indicates the remaining days
of the power reserve.

LIMITED INTERNATIONAL GUARANTEE
Your Hublot watch has been manufactured in the authentic tradition of Swiss
watchmaking and has been individually tested to ensure that it is water-resistant
and that it runs perfectly. Nevertheless, it is covered by a limited international
guarantee against any manufacturing defect for a period of two years from the
date of purchase, and for a period of one year after repair, under the conditions
below.
What is covered?
Under this limited guarantee Hublot undertakes to repair, free of charge, any
problem with the functions of the watch that result from defective manufactu-
ring. This guarantee is only honored in Hublot Customer Service Centers which
contact details are to be found on Hublot’s website at www.hublot.com. In
addition, certain limiting conditions do apply and for this reason it is essential
that you read the following paragraphs.
What are the limiting conditions of this guarantee?
To benefit from this limited guarantee the following conditions must be met:
– the international guarantee card must have been activated by the dealer who
sold the watch, or must be enclosed with the watch when it is sent for repair
and must be signed and dated at the time of purchase by an authorized Hublot
dealer. Hublot will not honor the guarantee for watches sold without a valid
guarantee card properly filled out and signed by an authorized Hublot dealer
or by a dedicated Hublot boutique;
– the serial number engraved on the case is perfectly legible and no part of
the original case back or original serial number has been removed, modified,
falsified, altered, replaced, erased, defaced or made illegible. Failure to abide
by any of the above conditions renders all rights resulting from the Hublot
international guarantee null and void.
What is not covered?
Damage resulting from service provided anywhere other than at an Hublot
Customer Service Center is not covered and shall void the guarantee. The
limited guarantee also does not cover bracelets, crystals and batteries, or
any scratches, dents or damages to the case or movement due to improper
handling. More generally, it does not apply if there has been improper or ina-
dequate use of the watch.
General conditions and limitations:
This limited guarantee replaces any guarantees implied by some countries’ local
law, including the implied guarantee of merchantability, which are disclaimed.
Some countries’ local law may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply
to you. This guarantee gives you specific legal rights and you may also have
other rights under local laws which vary from country to country. Hublot and
its Customer Service Centers shall have sole discretion to decide to repair or
replace any Hublot timepiece under this limited international guarantee.

We recommend that you send your watch by registered mail, carefully wrapped to
avoid damage, to the nearest Hublot Customer Service Center, or take it to your
authorized Hublot dealer or dedicated Hublot boutique. Hublot is not responsible for
loss or damage during shipping. The list of Hublot Customer Service Centers can
be found on our website. On request, these Hublot Customer Service Centers will
provide you with the details of your nearest authorized Hublot dealer or dedicated
Hublot boutique. This guarantee does not affect your legal rights as a consumer.
Please check that you have an international guarantee card – otherwise you will
not be covered by the limited guarantee services outlined above.
On our website you will find a number of recommendations for the use and main-
tenance of your Hublot watch. Please follow them carefully since the guarantee will
become invalid in the event of inappropriate use or handling.
In addition, if you wish to join our Hublotista Club, please visit our dedicated
website: www.Hublotista.com. The Club allows you to become part of the
Hublot Family and enjoy special privileges and exclusivities.
Recommendations and limited guarantee specific to the Australian and New
Zealand markets
Hublot goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian
Consumer Law: the customer is entitled to a replacement or refund for a major
failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage,
and the customer is also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods
fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
RECOMMENDATIONS & CARE
The constituent parts of your Hublot watch are all of the finest quality, and
inspected under extremely stringent criteria. They combine to form a piece
with exceptional water resistance, with certain models capable of reaching a
depth of 4000 meters. To preserve these qualities, we recommend a complete
overhaul every 3 to 5 years, since temperature variations, humidity, perspiration
and repeated shocks may affect its water resistance as the years go by. With
its water resistant case and rubber, ceramic or carbon strap, or gold or steel
bracelet, your Hublot watch can be washed easily. If the watch has an alligator
strap, you are advised to take it off when bathing. Clean it regularly in lukewarm
soapy water, rinsing and wiping down carefully with a soft cloth. After wearing
your Hublot watch in seawater, please rinse it in fresh water.
