  • Catalogue Essay

    The Hublot Big Bang collection was the very first model that the brand launched disrupting the industry with the first wristwatch to incorporate a rubber strap. Since then, various models have appeared with a refined aesthetic remaining in alignment with its iconic case design featuring naked “H” screws on the bezel. One of among which was the Classic Fusion. First released in 2010, the Classic Fusion model featured a much slimmer case than the iconic Big Bang. With a focus on elegance fused with traditional approaches to watchmaking interpreted with a refined appeal, the first time only model was made to be an icon for years to come.

    One of the stars from the Classic Fusion line was the skeletonized tourbillon such as the present timepiece. With a striking appeal, the fully skeletonized dial allows the wearer to admire the intricate components of the cal. HUB6010 featuring a 60-second tourbillon mounted on the all-black bridges and plates. The large barrel positioned at 12 O’clock is furthermore a sight to behold as each wind allows the wearer to witness the tightening of the spring. Boasting a large case size of 45mm, the cleverly designed tapered lugs combined with the slim case allows for a comfortable and snug wrist presence.

    Offered with the full set of accessories and in attractive overall condition, the present example in pink gold is certainly value for buck.

  • Artist Biography

    Hublot

    Swiss • 1980

    Hublot was founded by Carlo Crocco in 1980 and named after the French word for "porthole," which resembles their iconic bezel design. Hublot's first watch followed three years of research and was the first wristwatch to be fitted with a natural rubber strap. The brand's most recognizable watch today is the 'Big Bang', which was first launched in 2005 upon the arrival of CEO and shareholder Jean-Claude Biver. Other noteworthy models are the 'Classic Fusion' and 'King Power'.
