Hublot Classic Fusion Italia Independent line is the third collaboration between the Swiss watchmaker and Lapo Elkann, founder of Italia Independent, a design company that delivers exquisite personalization to any luxury objects, from sunglasses to helicopters. Previous partnerships have focused on revamping Hublot’s Big Bang Unico model. More Hublot Classic Fusion replica.
The reimagined Fusion timepieces also mark the first joint venture between Hublot and Italian men’s fashion house, Rubinacci, which in its decades-long history has suited up a scrum of high-profile clients, including the Duke of Kent, singer Bryan Ferry and Elkann, himself.
The six 45 mm, HUB1143 caliber chronographs, rendered in titanium, ceramic and gold, that are tailored to Elkann’s sartorial style and don Rubinacci’s fine tartans and houndstooth. The watches tick from sporty to classis. One black-and-white houndstooth patterned timepiece, for instance, quotes the colors of Elkann’s favorite soccer team Juventus F.C.. Stronger than any subtle references, Italia Independent’s simple graphic logo at 6 o’clock seals Elkann’s influence on the watches’ design.
