Hublot’s 2008 sales remains strong

Swiss watchmaker Hublot, part of the luxury group LVMH since April 2008, is bracing for a successful yet tougher 2009 although to date 2008 sales continue to show sharp increases over 2007 statistics. In a recent Reuters interview, CEO Jean-Claude Biver said that Hublot sales were holding up in all markets. “2008 has been better than the same period in the previous year in line with our expectations and we could be surprised by a good Christmas,” he added on an optimistic note.
