CLASSIC FUSION EXTRA-THIN SKELETON BLACK CERAMIC
CLASSIC FUSION EXTRA-THIN SKELETON
January 21, 2013
In less than a year, it has become one of Hublot's major bestsellers. It has met with
phenomenal success all over the world, in Asia, Europe and the United States. The
cornerstone of classic watches at Hublot. An extra-thin skeleton watch, a Classic Fusion
whose design has been refined while retaining the dynamic and modern codes immediately
recognisable as Hublot. Unveiled at last year's BaselWorld, initially in King Gold and titanium,
its latest incarnation boasts a very elegant case fashioned entirely from polished, satinfinished
black ceramic: the new Black Ceramic Extra-thin Skeleton Classic Fusion.
With a diameter of 45 mm, this watch is equipped with Hublot's new CLASSICO movement
(HUB1300), entirely designed and developed in the brand's manufacture in Nyon. At
just 2.90 mm thick, it comprises 130 components which are fabulously showcased by the
skeleton design – featuring a resolutely graphic style - which enables expert eyes to
admire the watch's regulating organ, the balance and the escapement. On the dial, it is worth
noting that the small second at 7 o'clock and the hands are similar in design to those on the
very first Hublot watches: a clever reference to the history of the brand. The assembly is
complemented by a strap - black alligator stitched onto rubber - and a deployant buckle
which ensure it offers the greatest possible comfort, flexibility and durability. The watch is
practical on an everyday level, offering a 90-hour power reserve and water resistance to 50
metres.
Striking a remarkable balance between the classic extra-thin design and Hublot's trademark
dynamic and modern "all-black" look, this piece is a fine exercise in style, providing a
wonderful demonstration of the principle of fusion between Tradition and Modernity.
