⌚ Hublot's name literally means "porthole" in French. Statistically, at least one person wearing one right now has no idea their watch is named after a boat window.

This week's WorthPoint Dictionary covers Hublot Watches — the Swiss brand that turned nautical styling into serious wrist candy. From the original 1980 porthole models with their scandalous rubber straps to the ceramic-and-carbon-fiber Big Bang line, the range is broad and so are the prices. Even the King of Spain wore one.

Pro tip: with Hublot, the markings matter — dial, face, or a stamping on the case back. Knowing where to look helps you spot the real deal from a "Replica." 👀

Open your kitchen cabinet. Count the mugs. We'll wait. ☕

If you're drowning in " #1 Teacher" and "World's Best Grandpa" mugs, you're not alone — but before you donate the lot, flip them over. That dusty redware mug could be worth $11,000+ (one stamped John Bell sold for $4,200), and certain Rae Dunn and retired MacKenzie-Childs designs are pulling serious money on the secondary market. 💰

Amy Moyer's guide sorts the treasures from the clutter — and yes, gives you permission to finally clear the rest. 👇

📚 Book of the Week

Father's Day is coming up, so here's a history lesson: your great-great-grandpa was absolutely the type to keep the "spicy" to***co cards in his collection. 👀😂

19th Century Advertising Cards by Herbert D. Loomis is a 26-page peek into the world of Victorian trade cards — the original clickbait. As the book puts it, Dad liked the risqué tavern and to***co cards, Mom wanted the latest designs, and the kids collected them for their scrapbooks. Advertising hasn't changed a bit. 🃏
As P.T. Barnum supposedly said: "Advertise, or the sheriff will do it for you." 😅

That Tamagotchi clipped to your '90s backpack? Someone just paid $849 for one. 🎒

Bag charms are having a major moment — Gen Z's "trinket trend" has everything from Labubu and Jellycat cuties to Hermès Rodeo charms and Fendi's real-mink Karl Lagerfeld monster (that one resold for $795).
Turns out hanging toys off your bag isn't new… your Happy Meal clip-ons and Kipling monkeys walked so Labubu could swing. 🐵

So before you toss that old toy box — check what's inside. 👇

🎁 Marks of the Week: Father's Day Hublot Edition ⌚

⌚ The stylized "H" + "Hublot" — the maker's mark that quietly tells you this watch cost more than Dad's first car.
https://www.worthpoint.com/marks/jewelry/mark-619904_hublot-jewelry-letter

🇨🇭 "Hublot Genève" + that same bold H — because once you add "Genève," you're not buying a watch, you're buying a Swiss pedigree with a strap.
https://www.worthpoint.com/marks/jewelry/mark-619906_hublot-jewelry-letter

Two maker's marks from Hublot — the brand whose name is French for "porthole" and that built its reputation fusing gold with rubber back in 1980. With Father's Day around the corner, consider this your reminder that the watch remains the undefeated heavyweight champ of dad gifts. Spot one of these stamps in the wild and you'll know it's the real deal.
