Hublot’s vision is to develop luxury timepieces that fuse tradition with innovation; a unique philosophy demonstrated in the Classic Fusion collection, which combines traditional Swiss watchmaking with a modern twist. Emblematic of the first disruptive designs created by Hublot in the 1980s, the Classic Fusion embodies its signature concept – The Art of Fusion – born at a time when the brand was already breaking new ground by combining precious and industrial materials.

Embodying Hublot’s virtuosity and craftsmanship the latest unveiling is testament to the vision, innovation and dedication to its partners. The Classic Fusion Chronograph Special Edition Watches of Switzerland is the amalgamation of Hublot’s Art of Fusion philosophy and Watches of Switzerland’s dedication to providing premium and exclusive Swiss watches to their clients.

The Classic Fusion Chronograph Special Edition Watches of Switzerland seamlessly blends a traditional 45mm titanium case with an innovative and sporty carbon fibre filament bezel with subtle red accompaniments on the alligator strap and chronograph hand within the dial, subtle nod to Watches of Switzerland. It features an automatic chronograph movement with a 42-hour power reserve. Limited to an exclusive 25 units, this edition embodies the forward-thinking spirit of Hublot.

Benoit Lecigne, General Manager for the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Belux, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, said: “It is with pleasure that we launch this beautifully crafted limited edition with our retail partner, Watches of Switzerland. This edition truly reflects the philosophy of Hublot, “The Art of Fusion”, with the masculine titanium case paired seamlessly with the innovative carbon fibre bezel and subtle red accompaniments. This edition is the perfect fusion of style and masculinity. Watches of Switzerland represents the cornerstone of the British watch industry and this new edition reflects the fusion of both brands harmoniously.”

Brian Duffy, CEO of Watches of Switzerland Group said: “We’re pleased to announce that our first collaboration with Hublot has come to fruition, we worked directly with Hublot to design this limited edition watch and are delighted with the result. Only 25 pieces of The Classic Fusion Watches of Switzerland Limited Edition have been made making this a real collector’s item’.
