The Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph ‘Watches of Switzerland Group’ Special Edition was launched at an immersive digital event hosted by Brian Duffy, CEO and Craig Bolton, Executive Director of the Watches of Switzerland Group and Omar Choudhary, Brand Director UK & Ireland and Jean Francois, President USA, of Hublot. The watch will be available exclusively from the Watches of Switzerland Group’s showrooms in the UK and US.
"We are delighted to work with the Watches of Switzerland Group once again on a collaboration that perfectly unites our skills and passion for the finest Swiss horology. This is a great example of fusion between our two brands, and we look forward to having this Special Edition presented to Watches of Switzerland Group clients."
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. The Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph ‘Watches of Switzerland Group’ Special Edition is the amalgamation of Hublot’s Art of Fusion philosophy and the Watches of Switzerland Group’s dedication to providing premium and exclusive Swiss watches to their clients, based on their deep understanding of their customer’s preferences and over 240 years as the premium watch retailer in the UK and US.
The Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph ‘Watches of Switzerland Group’ Special Edition 45mm seamlessly blends a striking black ceramic case with a black skeleton dial featuring red details, which are also seen on the alligator and rubber strap. The timepiece carries a HUB1155 self-winding chronograph movement and has a 42-hour power reserve. The new Classic Fusion created in collaboration with the Watches of Switzerland Group adds to previous special editions created jointly by Hublot and the Watches of Switzerland Group since 2018.
"We are pleased to announce the latest expression of our ongoing collaboration with Hublot. This special edition timepiece is a combination of classic and contemporary watchmaking making it a real collector’s item. We having worked closely with Hublot’s design team and are delighted with the result."
The watch was unveiled at an exclusive digital launch where guests on both sides of the Atlantic experienced a Veuve Clicquot champagne tasting delivered in the Maison’s signature mailbox pointing towards the Hublot manufacture in Nyon, Switzerland. A private concert by singer-songwriter Julian Perretta, known for the hit-single Wonder Why, followed. News from Hublot and the Watches of Switzerland Group was shared with guests following the recent reopening of the Watches of Switzerland Group boutiques. Clients will now be able to view and purchase this Special Edition in selected UK boutiques of Goldsmiths, Mappin & Webb and Watches of Switzerland and Watches of Switzerland showrooms in the US.
