Nyon, Switzerland--It appears to be a happy holiday season for Swiss watch brand Hublot, which has lately received a wealth of honors and nods, the most recent being a PME magazine cover story of Hublot Chief Executive Officer Jean-Claude Biver, voted by the magazine as "Leader of the Year."

In an 11-page report in its December 2008 issue, the Swiss-French-language economic magazine describes Biver as "currently the most comprehensive and powerful example of industrial creativity."

One month before, Hublot was a winner at the Sixth Nuit de l'Horlogerie, a Geneva-based event organized by Excel magazine, which welcomed some 1,300 guests to discover watch models presented by 26 brands. By the end of the evening, Hublot's "Aero Bang Gold Ceramic" was awarded the Grand Prix du Public in the category of "Gentlemen's watch," and its "Big Bang Purple Carat" won second prize in the "Ladies watch" category.

The Big Bang Purple Carat was a winner twice more in November, on Nov. 25 at the Bahrain Fair in Bahrain, where it won in the category of "Ladies watch," and on Nov. 26 at the Jacquemart-Andre Museum in Paris, where the Revue des Montres awarded the model with the "Ladies chronograph" prize.

At the Bahrain event, Biver's leadership was also honored, and he was voted "CEO of the Year 2008."
