A timeless tribute to a century of luxury horology, crafted in sleek titanium and frosted carbon fibre.
Swiss luxury watchmaker Hublot has once again demonstrated its commitment to timeless craftsmanship and innovation with the release of the Hublot Classic Fusion Centenary – WOSG Exclusive. This limited-edition timepiece celebrates the 100th anniversary of Watches of Switzerland, paying tribute to a century of excellence in the world of luxury horology.
The Classic Fusion collection, a cornerstone of Hublot’s lineup, has long been celebrated for its avant-garde design, and this special edition is no exception. Originally designed by Carlo Crocco in the 1980s, the Classic Fusion took inspiration from Hublot’s first-ever watch, blending elegance with a distinctively modern edge. The hallmark features of the collection include a rounded case, a functional H-shaped screw fastening, a sleek bezel, and Hublot’s iconic black rubber strap, all of which have made it a favourite among watch enthusiasts.
The Hublot Classic Fusion Centenary – WOSG Exclusive takes these signature elements and elevates them with a contemporary twist. Crafted from satin-finished and polished titanium, the 42mm case is both robust and refined, exuding a sense of understated luxury. The bezel, adorned with eight H-shaped polished titanium screws, introduces a new material to the Classic Fusion line: Frosted Carbon Fiber. This innovative material adds a modern texture and visual intrigue, making the watch a standout piece in any collection.
At the heart of the timepiece lies the self-winding HUB1110 movement, a testament to Hublot’s dedication to precision and performance. The movement is visible through the case back, offering a glimpse of the double coupling system and column wheel that powers the watch, along with a 42-hour power reserve. The open-heart design not only showcases the intricate mechanics but also adds a layer of sophistication to the overall aesthetic.
The case back of the Classic Fusion Centenary – WOSG Exclusive is engraved with a special edition marking, commemorating the partnership between Hublot and Watches of Switzerland. This engraving serves as a reminder of the long-standing relationship between the Swiss watchmaker and the renowned British retailer, which has been a key player in the luxury watch market for a century.
With only 50 pieces available worldwide, the Hublot Classic Fusion Centenary – WOSG Exclusive is a true collector’s item. Priced at $12,000, this limited-edition watch is available exclusively through Watches of Switzerland boutiques and online in the United Kingdom and the United States.
