THE HUBLOT CLASSIC FUSION<br />
SPECIAL EDITION ‘LONDON’<br />
Hublot is delighted to announce the Hublot<br />
Classic Fusion Special Edition ‘London’, a<br />
limited edition watch celebrating the Swiss<br />
watch company’s ongoing love affair with the<br />
vibrant, colourful city of London.<br />
<strong>The</strong> watch was launched at a star-studded event<br />
held at <strong>The</strong> Gherkin. <strong>The</strong> evening was hosted<br />
by Omar Choudhary, Hublot Brand Director<br />
UK, and attended by Hublot Friend of the Brand<br />
Chris Froggatt. Hublot also welcomed football coach<br />
and former professional football player Patrice Evra.<br />
Guests enjoyed a set by DJ Matt and mingled over<br />
canapés and cocktails.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hublot Classic Fusion Special Edition ‘London’<br />
is a statement piece, designed to capture something<br />
of London’s fast-paced, high-achieving spirit. Its<br />
polished and satin-finished black ceramic bezel and<br />
micro-blasted, sunray-finished racing grey dial are<br />
engraved with a Union Jack motif, a patriotic touch<br />
that radiates both classic British understatement and<br />
the capital’s cool confidence. <strong>The</strong> watch’s 10 signature<br />
‘H’ screws set into the bezel and case are cast in<br />
contrasting polished titanium.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 45mm black ceramic case houses Hublot’s<br />
MHUB1112 automatic movement, which provides the<br />
watch with time and date functions and a 42-hour<br />
power reserve. A flash of red at the tip of the central<br />
seconds hand gives the watch’s monochromatic<br />
palette a sporty twist. <strong>The</strong> sapphire crystal case back<br />
is decorated with ‘Hublot Loves London’. <strong>The</strong> finishing<br />
touch is a black rubber strap with a velvet touch<br />
representing a playful City of London tartan theme<br />
(as listed on <strong>The</strong> Scottish Register of Tartans) and is<br />
water-resistant to 50 meters.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Hublot Classic Fusion Special Edition ‘London’ is<br />
the product of Hublot’s passion for this ever-evolving<br />
world city,” said Mr Choudhary. “It’s a symbol of the<br />
special relationship between us and the values of quality,<br />
excellence and style Hublot and London share. Our<br />
loyal local clients have been asking for a watch that<br />
brings the invention and creativity of Hublot’s fusion<br />
watchmaking philosophy to bear on a London-themed<br />
piece, and we know both they and our international<br />
visitors who love coming here will enjoy the spirit behind<br />
it, too. Hublot loves London!”<br />
<strong>The</strong> watch is limited to 50 pieces, each engraved with<br />
the limited edition number, and will only be available<br />
from Hublot’s New Bond Street and Harrods boutiques.<br />
