In the world of haute horology, there are collaborations that go beyond the simple concept of luxury and become true statements of art and innovation. This is the case with the new special edition Boutique Pisa 1940, born from the union between the historic Italian dealer and the Swiss maison Hublot. A historic bond that is renewed with an elegant tribute to the city of Milan, a symbol of style, architecture and contemporary vision.
Following the opening in 2022 of the Hublot monobrand boutique by Pisa 1940 in the heart of Milan, the partnership between the two brands now reaches a new apex with a creation that goes beyond time and fashion, establishing itself as a genuine masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. Without getting lost in further ado, let’s now discover the new Hublot Classic Fusion that is the result of the joint venture between these two great luxury brands.
The design of the new Hublot Classic Fusion Boutique Pisa 1940
As anticipated, the star of this collaboration is the famous Hublot model, the Classic Fusion, reinterpreted with an all-Italian sensibility thanks to the contribution of the Vittorio Carena Studio. Taking center stage, we find a blue Sunray dial that captures the essence of the majestic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the most beloved symbols of Lombardy’s capital city. Every detail is designed to reflect the harmony of the architectural forms, creating a perfect balance between the classicism of Milan and the bold innovation of Hublot.
The result? A 42 mm diameter watch that becomes a hymn to the fusion of past and future, tradition and modernity, just like Hublot’sArt of Fusion philosophy, where different materials, cultures, and ideas come together to create unique creations.
As Chiara Pisa, managing director of Pisa 1940, points out, the goal was to create a unique timepiece: “We wanted to create a watch that fully reflected Hublot’s DNA, but at the same time was consistent with our spirit and that of Milan. Clean, sharp forms and discreet personalization: we chose to remove the date window to respect the integrity of the architectural reference on the one hand and to be consistent with the minimalism that characterizes us.” A bold choice that allows the focus to be on the architecture of the dial, transforming the watch into a true visual tribute to the city.
Like any self-respecting piece of art, this special edition is available in an extremely limited run: only 25 pieces in total, distributed in three exclusive variants: 10 models in black ceramic, 10 in titanium, and 5 in King Gold 18K, Hublot’s proprietary alloy that gives the metal a warm, enveloping hue. The case design is complemented by a rubber strap, a distinctive element of the Swiss maison, which blends elegance and sportiness in a perfect balance.
The caliber of the new Hublot Classic Fusion Boutique Pisa 1940
Each watch is powered by the HUB1110 automatic movement, a Hublot caliber commonly used in the 38 mm and 42 mm Classic Fusion models. Key specifications of the HUB1110 caliber include: a diameter of 25.60 mm, a thickness of 3.6 mm, a power reserve of 42 hours, and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).
Conclusions
According to Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot, this special edition represents more than just a watch: “With this special edition, we wanted to celebrate the perfection of the fusion between the art of watchmaking and architecture, combining our love of innovation with the grandeur of Milan, home to one of our most important showcases in Italy.”
In short, this limited edition marks a new chapter in a longstanding relationship between Pisa 1940 and Hublot, two names that share the same passion for excellence and innovation. A watch that not only marks time, but tells a story of elegance, precision and love for the city of Milan.
For the lucky few who manage to win one of these 25 masterpieces, time will never be more precious.
