Just like his iconic sculptures, Richard Orlinski has created a watch with a faceted design. The case has 12 facets, like the number of hour markers on the watch. Within the framework of its "Art of Fusion" concept, Hublot thus fusioned its know-how with that of the French artist to create an innovative timepiece which required a redesign of the case, as Ricardo Guadalupe (Hublot CEO) explained.
Beyond its unique design, the creation of the Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph was a major challenge for Hublot's watchmakers who cut the watch from ceramic and titanium to confer a mirror polishing finish, the artist's true signature, on the timepiece.
