    BY HIS own admission, Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe notes that square is not a shape many watchmakers “dare (to) tackle” and “no one has known how to rework (it) for decades” because of the geometrical challenges it poses.

    Well, trust Hublot to give it a shot and so, the Square Bang is born.
