Focusing more on a younger market along with the release

I hope that LVMH does not change the direction Hublot has been heading too much, but this is unlikely. In fact, LVMH will likely allow Hublot to carry on as before, but now with some corporate veto power at the top. Except to see Big Bang derivative watches for as long as humanly possible. Perhaps when they have reached a few models short of "Movado's bleeding the Museum watch for all it is worth," they will focus on a new Hublot star.

Expect the transition to be relatively smooth, but don't expect too many sales prices. It is unclear the effect this will have on online sales as well. Tag Heuer and Zenith are notorious for sticking with "authorized dealers." Production of Hublot watches is likely to increase, but availability online is probably not. This of course doesn't change the bounty on eBay, thankfully.
