The Classic Fusion Chronograph Orlinski has been paired with Hublot’s patented red ceramic. The colour of life and of passion, red evokes Richard Orlinski’s first Born Wild Crocodile sculpture. Created in 2004, it features this vivid and powerful shade of red, which has since gone on to become the most recognisable colour in his menagerie.

WILD. RED. CERAMIC.

A fascinating yet paradoxical colour, the colour red symbolises the sometimes contradictory
extremes of our sentiments. Love, rage, courage, risk, prohibition, zeal… A watch which appeal to the emotions

WILD. RED. CERAMIC.

A few months ago, at Baselworld 2018, Hublot expanded its catalogue of innovations by adding a new feat: the first ceramic to be created in a vibrant colour. Taking four years to develop from concept to industrialization, and requiring innovations in materials and manufacturing processes (a fusion of pressure and heat which sinters the ceramic without burning its pigments), the ceramic created is harder than previously seen (1500 HV1 versus 1200 HV2).

This expertise was developed in tandem by Hublot’s Research & Development department and Metallurgy and Materials laboratory, a 100% in-house process, resulting in a secret formula protected by several patents.

 WILD. RED. CERAMIC.

Since 2017 Richard Orlinski, the world’s bestselling contemporary artist, has been adding his angular style to Hublot watches. Works of art for the wrist, these feature his signature facets, nuanced with angles and edges. Like his sculptures, the Classic Fusion Chronograph Orlinski Ceramic boasts the sharp three-dimensional sculpted lines and polished finish which are the artist’s trademark.

The Classic Fusion Chronograph Orlinski Ceramic is released in a limited edition of 200 pieces. 45 mm of art and innovation crafted from Hublot’s red ceramic. From the seconds hand to the counters and indexes; from the case to the bezel, all the way to the strap, nothing has escaped the vivid glow of Hublot x Orlinski red. Its sapphire case back reveals the HUB1155 self-winding skeleton chronograph movement.

⭕️ RICHARD ORLINSKI

Chances are you will have seen his brightly coloured Pop Art-style multifaceted beasts somewhere before. From his immense "Wild Kong" gorilla sculpture on the Croisette in Cannes and his crocodiles in the sunshine of the Miami Design District, to his 5-metre-tall bear on the snowy pistes of Courchevel, Richard Orlinski's unique works are unmissable.

In 2004, Richard Orlinski decided to devote himself entirely to art. Imbued with pop-culture, the artist created a colourful world inspired by the wildest animals and by the iconic objects that have left a mark on their generation.

Driven by a desire to democratise art by making it accessible to as many people as possible, Richard Orlinski is an enthusiast who has been able to overcome many obstacles, to push his limits and to constantly reinvent himself. His drive to popularise art also takes the form of a desire to provoke immediate emotion, among children and adults alike. Far-removed from the diktats of the contemporary art world, the artist’s works shout out for him!

The sculptor, who loves art in all its forms, blasts away preconceived ideas and is not afraid to knock down the walls between forms of artistic expression. Driven by a global and universal vision, he enjoys exploring different fields: sculpture, design, music, live performance…

Represented by over 90 galleries in France and abroad, Richard Orlinski has been the bestselling contemporary French artist in the world since 2015, (Source: Art Price).
