Similar yet unique mechanical sculptures.

 

At first glance, some will be drawn to the facets created by the signature folds and the iconic angular architecture of the internationally renowned visual artist. Others will be drawn by the mechanics of the Hublot chronograph dial. Lovers of both art and extreme precision are united in this new chapter of the collaboration, devoted to the Classic Fusion Chronograph Orlinski. With this unique watch comes a 41 mm case that sits perfectly on any wrist. When the magic of fusion reaches a new peak, the watch becomes a true work of art.

Both utterly unique, one is worn with the iconic black rubber strap while the other extends its three-dimensional silhouette along the entire watch, a huge technical feat that combines comfort with aesthetics. In this new collection, the micro-blasted titanium gives the facets a matt finish for an added touch of elegance. With their striking dodecagonal shape – the signature mark of Hublot’s collaboration with Richard Orlinski since 2017 –the bezel transforms into a polygon. These Classic Fusion Chronograph Orlinski watches have the HUB1153 automatic chronograph movement at their heart.

 

Six years, four models, each bears the undeniable mark of the artist behind the contours and angles of the iconic larger-than-life sculptures The art of fusion transforms sculptural strokes into powerful objects

of art. A fusion of watchmaking and sculpture, in which the characteristics of both come together in a true act of symbiosis. Miniature works of art that stand the test of time. Once again, Hublot has surpassed itself, pushing the limits towards new horizons.

“Those who know me know that I am highly demanding and do not impose any limits on myself. It is undoubtedly this shared approach that has united us since 2017. This collaboration is such a success because it is the result of a perfect harmony between innovation and know-how.”

FRENCH CONTEMPORARY ARTIST & HUBLOT AMBASSADOR

“Hublot has always been driven by innovation and a bold sense of design which goes against the grain. There are many parallels between watchmaking and art, both of which require creativity, passion, determination and boldness. These values come together in this collaboration with Richard Orlinski to explore new and memorable designs. This fusion of high quality Haute Horology and Art allows us to move towards new creative horizons, as innovative as they are unique.”
