Combining a rare metal with exceptional leather, Hublot offers a platinum setting for its CLASSIC FUSION BERLUTI SCRITTO model. More pure, more dense and more precious than gold, platinum was considered by Louis XIV as the only metal fit for a king. This bespoke piece fuses the famous shoemaker Berluti’s heritage with the Hublot Manufacture’s mastery of metals and materials.

Berluti’s Venezia Scritto leather, with exclusive tanning — resulting from Olga Berluti's inventiveness — dresses the strap and the dial of the CLASSIC FUSION BERLUTI SCRITTO PLATINUM. Thanks to a complex and delicate process developed in collaboration with Berluti, the leather’s organic elements have been neutralised to preserve all the living beauty of this natural hide, now rendered inalterable within the waterproof case of a Hublot watch.

From its modelling to its shaping, its cut and its assembling, each and every piece of the strap and the dial have been created using the same mineral and vegetable tanning rituals as Berluti shoes. The Calfskin, in shades of brown Tobacco, has been engraved with writings inspired by 18th-century calligraphy. The exceptional piece features a case and bezel in precious platinum and a crown in white gold bearing the Hublot logo.

This charming and delicate figure gazes seductively out at the viewer, posing in her high heel sandals with a flower in her hair and her modesty barely hidden by the colorful explosion of peacock feathers. They are the result of the unique skill of the in-house miniature painters at Ulysse Nardin.

Acrylic colors are applied and mixed direct-ly on the dial, as the tiniest details erupt to life through the use of extremely delicate brushes. Depending on their complexity, their meticulously detailed creations can take between 50 and 90 hours to com-plete. The finished dials are sublime works of art, highly prized by collectors and art-lovers alike.

Enveloped by the extravagance of the peacock’s tail and wing, the sensual curves of our mysterious dancer are revealed by the hourstriker function, when they sweep back to expose her beauty. This complication – one of the most intricate in mechanical timekeeping – comes alive on the hour, the half-hour and whenever the push-button is activated by the wearer. One of the first manufacturers to lead the revival of the hourstriker mechanism, Ulysse Nardin is also one of its undisputed creative masters, and one of the few to employ Jaquemarts to set them off.
