Available in two different sizes and three materials, the new Hublot Classic Fusion Cruz Diez will for sure satisfy your hallucinogenic needs. Released to honor deceased Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz Diez, the design of the watch from its dial to its strap is a perfect rendition to the colorful works of art of Cruz Diez who died last year in Paris, France at the age of 95. Cruz Diez was a major protagonist in the field of Kinetic and Optical Art, a movement that encourages an awareness of the instability of reality. His works established him as one of the key 20th-century thinkers in the realm of color.

After a successful release in 2018, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Golf is now dressed in green like the grass of the narrow fairways at Pebble Beach or the treacherous greens at Augusta. The second iteration of the Big Bang Golf was first presented at the LVMH Dubai Week 2020, exactly two years after the first Big Bang Unico Golf made its appearance with a white/grayish carbon and texalium case at the time.

Eye Candy: Hublot Big Bang Unico Rainbow King Gold. The Pot of Gold Under the Rainbow for the Leprechaun Inside You.
Rainbow-set watches have turned into a thing for a couple of years now. The new Big Bang Unico Rainbow King Gold is Hublot’s approach for what has turned into a very desirable type of wristwatch lately. First it was Rolex, then Audemars Piguet and now Hublot. The Big Bang Rainbow unlike the other brand’s predecessors, has gone above and beyond into integrating the rainbow setting even into different parts of the dial. Embellishing a timepiece by adding gems has always been around but never to this extent. Set with no less than 436 colored stones, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Rainbow King Gold includes rubies, pink sapphires, amethysts, blue sapphires, blue topazes, tsavorites, yellow sapphires and even orange sapphires.
Insider: Hublot Big Bang Unico Sang Bleu II. A Horological Multifaceted Wrist Sculpture.
Going beyond other brands, Hublot presents what we like to call a horological multifaceted wrist sculpture. The new Big Bang Sang Bleu II has gone above and beyond when it comes to the design of its case. A complex combination of satin-brushed finishes and highly polished chamfers throughout the case, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Sang Bleu II is not necessarily the best watch to tell time but a fantastic object of desire to adorn your wrist. Designed in collaboration with tattoo studio Sang Bleu London —now also present in Zurich, Switzerland— and their creative director Maxime Plescia-Buchi, the second collaboration of this partnership is pure fire. Located in the heart of London’s East End, the Sang Bleu Tattoo Studio is the home to a wide array of tattoo artists as well as world renowned guest artists.
Insider: Hublot Big Bang Scuderia Ferrari 90th Anniversary. A 90-Piece Limited Edition for Each Model.
Another trio of good looking Ferrari watches released by Hublot this year. Even though the new Hublot Classic Fusion Ferrari GT was our real favorite this year at Baselworld 2019, the new Hublot Big Bang Scuderia Ferrari 90th Anniversary is not bad looking either. Available in platinum, 3D Carbon or Sapphire, this new watch celebrates the 90th anniversary of the Scuderia Ferrari racing team. Equipped with unique looking straps in either Nomex, Kevlar or Calf, all straps feature grey contrast stitching. For those of you not familiar with Nomex, this is a variant of aramid materials like Kevlar. While not as sturdy as Kevlar, Nomex has excellent thermal, chemical, and radiation resistance for a polymer material.
Baselworld 2019: Hublot Classic Fusion Ferrari GT. Live Pictures & Price.
One of our favorite releases this year came from Hublot with the new Classic Fusion Ferrari GT. With a completely new case construction where the middle is suspended inside an outer caseband structure that holds the strap and the pushers for the chronograph, this new watch has a slight resemblance of the old Porsche Design ref. 3510 by IWC from the mid 80s. And this is not a bad thing. The new Hublot Classic Fusion Ferrari GT has a lot of substance as well as forward thinking design that brings the automotive world into the equation.
Insider: Hublot Classic Fusion AeroFusion Chronograph Orlinski Mexico. A 30-Piece Limited Edition in Green Ceramic.
After the huge success of the first round of Hublot watches in partnership with sculptor Richard Orlinski watches released last year, comes the new Hublot Classic Fusion AeroFusion Chronograph Orlinski Mexico ref. 525.GX.0179.RX.ORL18 in a limited edition of 30 pieces in micro-blasted green ceramic. Like a mini sculpture created by Orlinski himself, the Classic Fusion AeroFusion Chronograph Orlinski Mexico features the same case construction as its Hublot-Orlinski predecessors with a polygonal case with 12 facets that resembles the capricious angles on Orlinski’s sculptures using a three-dimensional cambering technique.
Insider: Hublot Classic Fusion AeroFusion Chronograph Ibiza. If You're an EDM Fan, This is For You.
Last year, Hublot landed in Ibiza, an island measuring 41 km north to south and 15 km west to east. Known worldwide as Eivissa, this island is famous for its wonderful beaches, crystal-clear waters and famous EDM nightclubs that attract thousands of travelers during the summer season. Ibiza has a bold, innovative free spirit and shares the same values as Hublot: continuous search for the new, always maintaining its origins and respect for tradition. There could be no better place to present the Hublot Classic Fusion AeroFusion Chronograph Special Edition Ibiza than the Ushuaia Tower, a place for fashion and the undisputed hub of the island.
Experience: When Salvage Ferrari Parts Become Sculptures by James Ferrari. The Incredible World of Ferrari Turned into Works of Art.
Here at WCL we are suckers for good art and especially when works of art are the result of unlimited creativity and true originality. After stumbling upon the Ferrari Gallery in the Dallas Design District, we were just blown away by what we had just discovered. Geared with the proper wrist companion, a Hublot Big Bang Unico Carbon Ferrari, we embarked in a discovery of sculptures worthy of the MB&F M.A.D. Gallery in Geneva. These incredible sculptures created out of salvage Ferrari parts from modern Ferraris including the iconic 308, the 328, the 512 Testarossa, the 360 or even the 550 Maranello just to name a few, are not only very unique and eye-catching but true works of art made by the skilled hands of a true artist.

Insider: Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire Galaxy. Two Unisex Watches with a lot of Color and a lot of Bang.
After the huge success of the Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire Rainbow, two new watches draw their inspiration from it and make an entrance with a strong punch. The new Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire Galaxy in black and clear sapphire feature bezels set with 48 amethysts and sapphires. With a nice gradient between the 48 stones —but nowhere near to the gradient achieved by Rolex for their Rainbow Daytona—, the color of the stones goes all the way from purple to red in a gradient that includes shades of light blue, violet and bright pink in between.

This year, the Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti lineup just got even better with two new chronographs that clearly enrich this collaboration between the Parisian shoemaker and the watchmaker from Nyon.

Baselworld 2018: Hublot Big Bang Unico Red Magic. Live Pictures & Pricing.
Another home run year for Hublot at Baselworld. This Baselworld 2018 Hublot has continued to extend the Big Bang Unico 45 mm collection with four incredible and very unique looking timepieces, one of them and a big favorite for us at WCL this year is the new Hublot Big Bang Unico Red Magic ref. 411.CF.8513.RX. Featuring an ultra glossy polished red ceramic case that is an extremely difficult material to machine, this new Hublot is as sexy as it gets. In a bright red color almost the same hue as the red used by the famous 'red soles' from Christian Louboutin, this is the perfect unisex timepiece and a watch perfectly suited for those that are not shy and live life to the max, because at the end of the day you only live once.
Rare Bird: Hublot Big Bang Unico Depeche Mode Limited Edition. A Punkish 250-Piece Limited Edition.
Hublot and Depeche Mode have been partners since 2010 and have supported Charity: Water on three other occasions since 2013. The Hublot Big Bang Unico Depeche Mode in a limited edition of 250 pieces is one of the most unique looking watches released in partnership with this iconic post-modern era band to celebrate their latest album 'Spirit'. Sporting a knurled and polished black ceramic case measuring 45 mm in diameter, the dial is reminiscent of the very first model produced between Hublot and Depeche Mode.
Insider: Hublot Classic Fusion Vendôme Collection. Fitted with a Bronze Dial with 'Verdigris' in a 100-Piece Limited Edition.
As a tribute to the eponymous square in Paris, the 'Place Vendôme' comes the Hublot Classic Fusion Vendôme Collection. Exclusively sold at the Hublot Boutique in Paris situated right across the famous Vendôme column, this Classic Fusion Vendôme features a special Hublot logo at 12 o'clock where the stylized H has been tweaked to feature the Vendôme column on the right part of the letter 'H'. Fitted with a 45 mm case in titanium the watch is somewhat vintage looking and very interesting.
Insider: Hublot Classic Fusion Chrono Aero Carbon 'Best Buddies' Limited Edition. With a Good Cause Behind it.
You guys know we are not big fans of the Classic Fusion collection from Hublot; however, this particular watch comes with two things that we really like. The first one, a very good cause behind it and the second one, a spectacular brushed carbon fiber case. The Hublot Classic Fusion Chrono Aero Carbon 'Best Buddies' Limited Edition ref. 525.QX.1799.QR.BBE15 was created as a 100-piece limited edition to support 'Best Buddies International', a nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities for friendship, employment and leadership training for people with IDD —intellectual and developmental disabilities. This partnership is not surprising at all, as Tom Brady —New England Patriots Quarterback and Best Buddies Global Ambassador— is a huge watchlifestyler and up until now, he had been a well-known friend of Audemars Piguet. However, after this partnership between Hublot and 'Best Buddies International', any chances Brady could've had to work more closely with AP are now long gone.
