Whilst this watch is obviously not an all-singing, all-dancing high horology piece, it certainly isn’t something that you would likely come across very often, or perhaps even know it existed. It’s an oddity, unusual, and its entire reason for existing is a little quirky and what makes it collectible.

Hublot aren’t going to be dishing out expensive watches for free to customers for months on end, especially if they wanted clients to use the service at it was intended and willingly bring it back to exchange for their own watch after it had been serviced.

The watch itself is a 36mm case with a quartz movement inside, and the case back of the 1990s Hublot service watch is stamped with the same “Not for sale” line found on the 2012 “Atelier watch” dial, as well as an advisory 50 metre water resistance rating.
