Hublot CLASSIC FUSION SPECIAL EDITION LONDON

A DATE WITH THE BIG SMOKE
This limited edition, available exclusively in the New Bond Street and Harrods boutique, is a message of love from the Nyon watchmakers to London.
Fashion, music, football�� Hublot has never stopped expressing its love for the English capital through creations in its collections and through its partnerships. This year once again, the brand reaffirms its feelings with a new extremely limited series of just 50 pieces. The Classic Fusion Special Edition London center stages a highly-stylized reproduction of the Union Jack on its dial. With a wink of the eye to the cool yet impertinent dandy spirit, the atmosphere bubbles over with elegance enhanced through a delicately-monochrome design. The UKs flag reigns supreme through satin-brushed and polished finishes which adorn the dial, the bezel and the 45 mm-diameter, 10.95 mm-thick ceramic case (waterproof to a depth of 50 meters). Apart from the date set at 3 oclock, no indexes disturb this magnificently pared-down composition. The caseback echoes the rareness of this timepiece with the engraved wording Special Edition as well as the number of the piece XX/50. The sapphire-crystal which unveils the watchs engineering displays the slogan Hublot Loves London!
The watchs time data, its hands and date are driven by the MHUB1112 caliber. This self-winding mechanical movement delivers a power reserve of some 42 hours once fully wound.
The Classic Fusion Special Edition London is worn on a black strap, attached by a folding clasp, blending rubber with a touch of velvet embossed with the famous checkered tartan pattern. Ever-so chic!
