Once steeped in the opulent luxury and tranquillity of this setting, who wouldn't want to suspend time and never have to return to normality? Fully renovated, the legendary Eden Rock on Saint Barthélémy is reopening its doors in autumn 2019. United by their shared values, Hublot and Oetker Collection are continuing their collaboration, with two brand new Classic Fusion models being added to the Eden Being collection featuring exclusive custom-made pieces. A 45 mm chronograph version provides a glimpse of the self-winding movement, and a second 38 mm version dazzles, set with 36 brilliant-cut diamonds. These are available as ultra limited editions - just 25 of each model - which can be engraved with the initials of their future owners. They will be available first of all at Eden Rock – St Barths, and also through the Oetker Collection network and Hublot boutiques.
"Eden Rock – Saint Barths has played host to glittering stars including Greta Garbo", states Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO Hublot. "Excellence, exclusivity and exuberance are just a few of the qualities that Hublot and Oetker Collection share to delight their clientele. Its forthcoming reopening provides an opportunity to renew our collaboration through a Classic Fusion model for men and one for women. Even though, once there, you are sure to stop counting the hours..."
"Hublot has always strive to deliver something different and unique … this really echoes our moto of being so much more than just a hotel", says Fabrice Moizan, CEO Eden Rock St Barths. "Our dear guests and friends will undoubtedly appreciate those two exclusive timepieces."
Drawing inspiration from Eden Rock Saint Barths the two timepieces feature details that ensure this mythical place lives on in memory. This exceptional hotel boasts a history dating back to the 1950s, regularly visited by illustrious personalities representing all facets of the world's rich cultural heritage, from music to cinema and literature, as well as artists seeking inspiration.
The HUB1155 skeleton self-winding chronograph movement showcases the collaboration with Eden Rock St Barths at 3 o’clock. The second watch sparkles with precious diamonds symbolising eternity, with the white lacquer of its dial set with 10 rubies. These two timepieces are available with three straps: a white alligator strap delicately edged with red thread, along with white and red full rubber straps, both finely ribbed.Deliberately white like the pristine sand of the beach or the sun-bleached walls - everyone will have their own interpretation – the watch has a single touch of colour; the famous Eden Rock red. These creative and aesthetic choices conjure up the perfect getaway.
