# Black Beauty Bicycles Watch Tycoon Hublot Teams Up With BMC For Chic Solid Bike By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-07-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-bmc References: [swipelife](http://swipelife.com/2009/07/28/hublot-“all-black”-bike-x-bmc/) & [bmc-racing](http://www.bmc-racing.com/en/) It seems that a lot of watch companies are diving into different genres with thoughtful collaborations (you can find them here on Trend Hunter). This bike, which comes from [Hublot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-big-bang-tourbillon) and [BMC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadmachine-01-amp-x), looks a little plain at first. It’s that second glance that allows you to bask in its clean cut image. The Hublot/BMC [all black bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unimatic-x-maxfield-modello-tre-u3sm-chronograph-watch) plays with the single palette, unlike how one coloured items usually do. The different parts on the bike make it seem so unique while keeping with the general theme. The bike also rocks inconspicuous logos of each of the partners. It’s sleek and very limited as only 30 bicycles will hit the market. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collaborative Branding:** Opportunity for brands from different industries to collaborate on unique products, like the Hublot/BMC all black bike. - **Minimalist Design:** Demand for clean cut and sleek design in various products, including bicycles. - **Limited Edition Releases:** Growing trend of releasing exclusive and limited quantity products, such as the limited edition Hublot/BMC bike. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Watches:** Opportunity for luxury watch brands to expand their product offerings by collaborating with bicycle manufacturers and creating stylish bikes. - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** Potential to leverage partnerships with luxury brands to create high-end and exclusive bicycles, appealing to affluent consumers. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Potential for fashion brands to collaborate with bicycle manufacturers, incorporating their design elements to create fashionable and stylish bikes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bespoke Automotive-Branded Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jlaverick-aston-martin-1r.md) - [Designer Manual Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t-bike.md) - [Black Carbon Cyclist Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tudor-pelagos-fxd-chrono-cycling-edition.md) - [Collaborative Fashion Designer Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-big-bang-tourbillon.md) - [Luxury BMX Bike Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-bike-case.md) - [Vintage Car-Inspired Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosaic-gt2x-radavist.md) - [Fanciful Futuristic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-mp10-tourbillon.md) - [Ruggedly Versatile Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super73-blackout-collection.md) - [Nightsky-Inspired Tonal Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-one.md)
