The Hublot Design Prize is prestigious in the design world. The principle is simple; the independent jury is made up of 5 experts from the world of contemporary design—each of whom put forward 5 candidates. In total, 25 candidates are selected and 8 of which are chosen and invited to show their creations in the very heart of the Hublot Manufacture in Nyon. The Manufacture acts as a temporary exhibition curated by Lausanne designer Adrien Rovero.

Hublot is celebrating the changing of the guard by recognizing the work of Christophe Guberan. The awardee has received a cheque for CHF 100,000 intended to support him in the realization of his work. The ceremony is a unique platform for expression and visibility and helps give candidates that extra push towards success.

Jean-Claude Biver, Ricardo Guadalupe and Pierre Keller, Former Director of the ECAL University of Art and Design in Lausanne, had a unique vision to develop and encourage young designers.

The prize does not aim to pay tribute to the work of well-known or qualified designers, but to give that extra push to enhance the success of a designer who is accomplished but has not yet been publicly appreciated. A springboard for visibility, a career accelerator, a prize that creates momentum, the key moment that presides over a person’s destiny and success. A homage to the destiny of the Big Bang, whose emblematic watch design has become a global success and an icon in the watchmaking world.

The paramount criteria that guide the jury’s choice include: the innovation, creativity and originality of the projects presented; the choice of materials and the quality of execution; the viability and sustainability of the projects; and the utility and value of the creations.
