Busy travellers will be happy to learn that Hublot has redesigned the UNICO movement with a patented innovation to include an integrated GMT function.
With Hublot, the word Fusion is not just the name of a watch. It is much more than that. it is a motto, a proper guideline for the design. Fusion refers to the concept of mixing materials, something that has always been in the DNA of the bold manufacture. Fusion of gold and ceramic, fusion of metals and rubber, fusion of gold and patinated leather, fusion of everything that you can imagine and more… Hublot dares to integrate in watches materials that you would have never thought about. And they did it again, with the Hublot Classic Fusion Italia Independent, using authentic fabric dials & straps, the result of a collaboration with the highly creative enfant terrible Lapo Elkann.
Hublot’s Classic Fusion watch received a remarkable makeover under the artistic sensibilities of Lapo Elkann and Luca Rubinacci.

While Hublot is not officially part of the SIHH, they have started a tradition of releasing some novelties alongside the fair. This year is no different, and Hublot continues to do what it does best: make watches that redefine the boundaries of watchmaking in terms of technology, design, and materials. It achieves this by launching a new manufacture caliber, expanding its sapphire collection, and take the Sang Bleu collection to an even higher level by using new materials.
With a movement design inspired by Meccano, the children’s construction toy comprised of metal strips, the Hublot Big Bang MECA-10 is functionally simple but unusually constructed.
