Hublot Classic Fusion Elements II 42mm Special Edition for The Hour Glass

Continuing their storied partnership of over 40 years, Hublot and The Hour Glass are proud to unveil the Classic Fusion Elements II special edition. This unique release features five stunning new dial variants, each limited to just 10 pieces, available only at The Hour Glass boutiques in South-east Asia. These exquisite creations celebrate the beauty of natural stones, masterfully integrated into Hublot’s signature Classic Fusion collection.

Hublot’s “Art of Fusion” philosophy has always driven us to explore new materials and push the boundaries of watchmaking. With the Classic Fusion Elements II collection, we continue to blend tradition with innovation, creating watches that are as unique as the stones from which they are crafted. This collaboration with The Hour Glass exemplifies our mutual dedication to excellence and the appreciation of creative watchmaking.” – Julien Tornare, Hublot CEO

Hublot's Classic Fusion collection reinterprets the brand’s ground-breaking watch design from 1980, fusing precious and modern materials within a creation inspired by a ship’s porthole (“hublot” in French). The Classic Fusion Elements II collection for The Hour Glass continues this legacy, emphasising the “Art of Fusion” philosophy by combining innovative materials with traditional craftsmanship.

The new Classic Fusion Elements II collection introduces five breath-taking dial variations, each crafted from a unique natural stone, symbolising different aspects of the natural world:

  • Lunar Meteorite: This dial is crafted from a rare lunar meteorite, symbolising the celestial connection and the timeless mystery of the universe. Each dial, with its deep grey tones and metallic sheen, is a fragment of the moon itself, making every watch a piece of cosmic history.
  • Pink Jasper: Known for its nurturing energy, pink jasper is often associated with tranquillity and healing. The warm, rose-hued dial exudes a sense of calm and stability, representing emotional balance and a connection to the Earth’s nurturing forces.
  • Turquoise: A symbol of protection and wisdom, turquoise has been revered across cultures for its vibrant cyan hue. The dial’s rich colour embodies the clear skies and serene seas, representing a sense of calm and clarity, while also providing a talismanic quality to the watch.
  • Sodalite: This deep blue stone with white veining is known for its connection to logic and truth. Sodalite’s rich indigo colour evokes the infinite depths of the ocean, symbolising introspection, wisdom, and the pursuit of knowledge.
  • Nephrite Jade: A stone of endurance and harmony, nephrite jade boasts a rich, deep green colour that symbolises prosperity and longevity. Its lustrous green hue reflects a sense of renewal and vitality, representing the strength and balance that jade has been believed to impart to its wearer throughout history.

Each dial is housed within a 42mm-wide titanium case with both polished and satin finishes, accentuated by 18k gold components including the crown and iconic H-shaped bezel screws. The watches feature a transparent sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, offering an unobstructed view of the meticulously crafted dial. Flip to the back to view the satin-finished titanium case back, which is engraved with “SPECIAL EDITION” and the limited edition number of each piece.

Powering these exceptional watches is the HUB1110 self-winding movement, comprising 177 components and offering a 42-hour power reserve. The titanium case measures a mere 10.4mm in thickness, offering a comfortable yet striking presence on the wrist. Featuring an 18k gold 5N and stainless steel deployant buckle, the black alligator strap completes the watch’s artistic and sophisticated aesthetic.

The Classic Fusion Elements II collection stands as a testament to the enduring partnership between Hublot and The Hour Glass. These watches not only highlight the remarkable craftsmanship in each creation but also honour the profound connection between time and the natural world.” – Michael Tay, Group Managing Director of The Hour Glass.

The Classic Fusion Elements II Special Edition for The Hour Glass retails between SGD 31,700 and SGD 43,200 depending on the dial execution (see below) and is available at The Hour Glass boutiques in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
