Hublot MDM Genève Ref. 1401.2 – A Timeless Icon of Modern Luxury The Hublot MDM Genève Ref. 1401.2 is a masterclass in understated elegance and bold innovation, a watch that marked the dawn of a new era in luxury horology. Crafted with a sleek 32 mm gold and stainless steel case, this timepiece brings together the warmth of gold with the durability of steel—an early and iconic expression of Hublot's "fusion" philosophy. Its deep, minimalist black dial is instantly recognizable, featuring polished gold-tone hands and a discreet date window at 3 o’clock.

The watch is powered by a precise Swiss quartz movement, offering hours, minutes, seconds, and date with dependable accuracy. Water-resistant to 50 meters, the MDM Genève combines daily practicality with refined design. It comes with its original Hublot black rubber strap—a pioneering feature in the early '80s—fitted to accommodate wrists up to 16 cm, and secured by a signed Hublot clasp. This piece is in Grade A condition, with minor signs of use, and is accompanied by its original Hublot presentation box. The Story – MDM Genève: The Birth of Hublot's Fusion Legacy When Hublot introduced the MDM Genève in 1980, it shocked the watch world—in the best way. Founder Carlo Crocco broke traditional luxury norms by combining a precious metal case with a rubber strap, a move considered revolutionary at the time. The name “Hublot,” meaning “porthole” in French, was echoed in the watch’s distinctive bezel design and minimalist, nautical-inspired aesthetics. The Ref. 1401.2 represents the heart of this vision: a slim, refined watch that introduced the "Art of Fusion", which would later become the cornerstone of Hublot's identity. While today's Hublot watches are bold and high-tech, the MDM Genève remains a cult classic—celebrated for its disruptive elegance and quiet luxury. Collectors value this model for what it represents: the moment modern watchmaking changed forever.
