In 2017, the Hublot boutique in Saint-Tropez is adopting a nautical theme, along with its sister store, which opens its doors at 31 La Croisette in Cannes. Although firmly stamped with the brand's DNA, the Hublot boutiques inhabit their premises with respect for their history and identity to ensure seamless integration!
