THREE MICHELIN STAR CHEF JAN HARTWIG IS HUBLOT’S NEW FRIEND OF THE BRAND
The Swiss luxury watch manufacture is delighted to announce that German three Michelin stars chef Jan Hartwig has joined the Hublot family. Like Hublot, the chef has developed his own signature style in record time and is gaining international recognition for it.
Jan Hartwig is a guarantee for absolute top quality and is considered one of Germany’s greatest culinary talents. In October 2022, he opened his restaurant "JAN" in the culinary metropolis of Munich, with which he immediately achieved three Michelin stars after just a few months thanks to his undeniable, unique style. His culinary creations are precise and carefully considered down to the last detail; each has its own identity and features wonderful and surprising combinations.
With his own restaurant, which bears the name "JAN" and offers space for a total of 40 guests, he fulfilled his dream of self-employment. His aim is to present top-class cuisine in a contemporary setting. To achieve this, he broke with the conventions of gourmet cuisine, as the sleek interior design of the restaurant: "JAN" appears in a friendly, upscale style.
The "JAN" is supposed to stand out from other Michelin-starred restaurants without compromising on exclusivity and sophistication. Jan Hartwig reinterprets the DNA of German cuisine and translates it into new worlds of flavour. His cooking style is characterised by precision, creativity and passion, and with his own identity he sometimes surprises with unexpected combinations in his kitchen. The highest level of craftsmanship, sustainability and outstanding products, predominantly from the region, play an equally important role in providing his guests with an unforgettable experience.
Like Hublot, true to the brand philosophy "First, unique and different", Jan Hartwig is constantly working to be better today than he was yesterday and consciously uses precise components in his dishes, similar to the precision of a watch movement. The development of his dishes also resembles the composition of a clockwork movement: the dishes are designed to the point so that it is impossible to remove any of the components. The pioneering spirit that unites the Swiss luxury watch manufacture with the German three Michelin stars chef emphasises how obvious the step towards this partnership is.
Jan joins Hublot’s growing family of culinary partners, with three Michel stars chefs Yannick Alléno, Eneko Atxa, Andreas Caminada, Paul Pairet, Anne-Sophie Pic and Clare Smyth.
“Jan Hartwig shares the same values as we do at Hublot. The passion, excellence and creativity that he combines in his craft is also united in our manufacture's creations. His vision of breaking the conventions of gourmet cuisine is similar to the spirit of our Maison, because we are constantly trying to push the boundaries of classic watchmaking and break new ground. We are therefore delighted to welcome a new three Michelin stars chef in the Hublot Family.”
“Hublot and I share the conviction that innovation, excellence and creativity are essential in the culinary and watchmaking arts. My approach to breaking new ground in the world of haute gastronomy is in line with the Manufacture's multifaceted approach. I am very proud to be part of the Hublot family, next to other amazing international chefs.”
