Different, yet recognizable, new, yet having quickly gained prestige, at the same time desirable, thoroughbred, and certainly very interesting – these are just some of the epithets that the brand unequivocally deserves. Hublot was created with the aim of being different by the Italian entrepreneur Carlo Crocco, who in all models incorporates this design, inspired by ship portholes, which has already become a distinctive feature of the brand. The screws, bezels, crown, and all other accents only emphasize the naval theme embedded in the brand's design. The unique design of the watch case merges with the straps, unique in their design and execution, and the overall effect is due to the distinct solution for their attachment to the case and, last but not least, to the brand's interesting clasps.
Hublot is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious watch manufacturers. For over four decades, the brand has created a number of technologically advanced models – some more conventional in appearance, others based on entirely new concepts, but always high-quality and prestigious timepieces. Each piece is an example of ingenuity and unique capabilities in the field of haute horlogerie. With the arrival of Jean-Claude Biver and the subsequent launch of the Big Bang line, based on the 'Art of Fusion' philosophy, the brand's development and establishment gained new momentum.
The watch presented to your attention is part of the Classic Fusion Orlinski series, introduced in 2019. This particular model is even more special, as it is the fruit of the collaboration between the manufacturer and the famous French artist Richard Orlinski. The partnership itself dates back to 2017, and over the years, a number of different models have been produced that use Hublot's recognizable designs as a canvas on which to display Orlinski's characteristic angular aesthetic.
This time, the watch is in the classic size of 40 mm, with a titanium case and a rubber strap with a folding clasp. Unlike the emblematic Big Bang with its distinctly sporty character, the Classic Fusion line has the honor of being the brand's more elegant line, and this particular model only reinforces that role. The case has the characteristic faceted shape, the dial is black with a complex polygonal three-dimensional structure, polished sword-shaped hands, and applied hour markers – all of which makes reading the indications very easy.
The automatic movement has a power reserve of 42 hours, the sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant and has an anti-reflective coating, and the water resistance is 50 m. The case diameter is 40 mm without the crown, the thickness is about 11 mm, and the strap width at the lugs is 20 mm.
Indeed, this is not a watch that would first come to mind in the 'fine,' 'elegant,' or 'sophisticated' category, but within the Hublot ranks, it occupies precisely this position. If you are looking for an elegant representative of the brand, this offer is for you, because it will truly attract the attention of those around you and will bring pleasure to its owner from its presence.
