The revolution of Hublot and the first watch in 1980

Hublot, as some of you know, was born thanks to an Italian named Carlo Crocco, who revolutionized the watch industry with the first watch in a precious material to be combined with a rubber strap.

A shape of porthole from which the name of the brand derives, and which gives life to the Art of Fusion, or the art of combining disparate materials, which often have nothing to do with each other.

To find out even more about the history of the brand and how their watches are created, we invite you to watch this video that we created in their manufacture.

The Classic Fusion collection is the most elegant and sober of Hublot, which in contrast to the Big Bang, maintains usually small dimensions and usually less complicated mechanisms. This is also the case for the three new sizes presented today, both of which feature a black lacquered dial without indexes, with the logo at 12 and the date at 3 o’clock.

The design remains unchanged, with the case in the shape of a porthole and 6 screws to hold the bezel. As far as the mechanism is concerned, one shouldn’t expect something revolutionary on the Classic Fusion: it is a time only with date, with 42 hours of power reserve. The watch does its job without disappointing.

Masters of materials also in the Classic Fusion Original

18kt gold, titanium or black ceramic: three materials in three different sizes. This is said to be the perfect number and it certainly is in the case of newcomers to Nyon.

The brand presented these models in three different materials. 18kt yellow gold. takes faithfully but modernized the first MDM of 1980, which at the time measured only 33mm in diameter. Sizes that today would be considered feminine but are actually making a comeback on men’s wrists as well.

As we told you on our journey to the Hublot manufacture, materials such as sapphire, gold and ceramic are the result of continuous studies by their R&D department. It is precisely ceramic that has been chosen in this trio of new releases from LVMH Watch Week 2023.

Lightweight, scratch resistant and with a stealth-mode look that few watches can wear with ease. The new Classic Fusion Original in black ceramic remains particularly legible, despite the black lacquered dial, thanks to its pencil hands (and perhaps also thanks to the 6 screws on the bezel which allow it to have strong point of reference).

Finally titanium. The flagship material for most of the watches in the Hublot collections, it is distinguished by a lightness that few other materials can boast, not even ceramic. The use of steel is a thing of the past for the brand, while titanium represents a much more dynamic and valuable white metal for watchmaking.

Like the 18kt yellow gold versions. and in black ceramic, the new Classic Fusion Original in titanium will also be available in 33mm, 38mm and 42mm. If indecision is your enemy, these three options will be your ally.
