Hublot had the privilege of collaborating with The Watch Gallery on 3 limited edition series launched in the past three years, all of which were met with tremendous commercial and advertorial success. Previous editions had harnessed a fusion of titanium and ceramic with touches of blue, but in true innovative style, the new edition pushes the envelope with bold and daring red accents.

In keeping with Hublot’s bold and confident image, RED is the carefully considered accent tone which can be seen adorning the lacquered rings of the special edition timepieces dial, the rhodium plated hands and the accent stitching added to the black alligator leather strap.

The Classic Fusion is the most contemporary and understated of the Hublot collections, and is inspired by the brand’s first avant-garde designs initially launched by the company in 1980, when the brand was founded. Hublot pioneered the innovative use of gold with rubber, daringly fusing precious and industrial materials in iterations that disrupted the watch making conventions of its time.

Adrian Maronneau, Director of Buying & Merchandising at The Watch Gallery said: “ I can’t believe I am introducing our 4th Hublot limited edition. I hope you will agree that we, along with Hublot, have produced some amazingly exclusive watches over the past 3 years using our watch gallery blue as a running theme. But for our 4th limited edition it was time to shake things up a bit, dare I say add a bit of spice, something that Hublot is a absolute master of. I am therefore delighted to present our new TWG Hublot Classic fusion Aerofusion RED chronograph. Fusing titanium and ceramic for the case, the watch, limited to 45 pieces worldwide, sports accents of red through the dial and strap giving it the ultimate sporty edge. I hope you will find this time piece as irresistible as we have.”
