Hublot Celebrates Watches of Switzerland’s Centenary with Exclusive Timepiece
Hublot marks the 100th anniversary of Watches of Switzerland with the launch of the Hublot Classic Fusion Centenary – WOSG Exclusive, a special edition timepiece. Limited to just 50 pieces, this watch is now available at select Watches of Switzerland boutiques and online in the United Kingdom and the United States.
A Tribute to the Classic Fusion Legacy
The Classic Fusion Centenary honors the longstanding heritage of Hublot’s Classic Fusion collection, a cornerstone of the brand renowned for its fusion of modern design and traditional craftsmanship. Designed by Carlo Crocco in the 1980s, the original Classic Fusion was inspired by Hublot’s first-ever watch. This new edition continues the tradition, featuring the collection’s signature elements: a rounded case, functional H-shaped screws, a distinct bezel, and the iconic black rubber strap.
Contemporary Design with Timeless Appeal
Hublot has crafted the Classic Fusion Centenary with a focus on both tradition and innovation. The watch features a 42mm case made from satin-finished and polished titanium. The bezel, which is adorned with eight H-shaped polished titanium screws, introduces frosted carbon fiber—a first for the Classic Fusion line. The design is elegant yet versatile, appealing to a wide range of watch enthusiasts.
Precision Engineering and Exclusive Details
At the heart of the Classic Fusion Centenary is the self-winding HUB1110 movement, visible through the open case back. This movement offers a 42-hour power reserve. The case back also features a special engraving that commemorates the ongoing partnership between Hublot and the Watches of Switzerland Group, underscoring the significance of this collaborative milestone.
Strengthening a Lasting Partnership
Brian Duffy, CEO of the Watches of Switzerland Group, highlighted the significance of this release, stating, “2024 has seen some exciting developments in our partnership with Hublot, enhancing the brand presence within our showroom network and now launching this commemorative exclusive celebrating Watches of Switzerland’s Centenary year. The Classic Fusion Centenary epitomizes luxury and sophistication, honoring our rich heritage and the legacies of both esteemed brands.”
