Hubolt copies Ebel with million dollar ‘caviar’ watch
 

We are definitely not sure what’s up with luxury watch brands and caviar themed watches, but looks like Hublot (above)is following in the footsteps of Ebel and introducing a Caviar Watch to the market.

If you remember back in October we talked about Ebel’s Caviar watch (above) which was “paved with exquisite hand selected black sapphire crystals and a black leather strap”.  However, Hublot takes it a step further naming their watch the “One Million $ Caviar” watch…Here’s how:
