Hublot unveils Classic Fusion Berluti Scritto Emerald Green
Hublot’s Art of Fusion now plays with colour in the marque’s latest offering – the Classic Fusion Berluti Scritto Emerald Green
Berluti’s emblematic Venezia leather and its famous patina, in a fusion with Hublot’s creativity and watchmaking expertise, paves the way for the third version of the Classic Fusion Berluti. Inimitable style and sophistication in design and colour turn this limited edition into the perfect timepiece for a Middle East regional exclusive.
The straps of the Classic Fusion Berluti Scritto Emerald Green are expertly carved from Venezia Scritto calf leather with writing inspired by calligraphy. A mysterious halo emanates from the enthralling emerald green leather that dresses the dial and straps, beautifully contrasting with the titanium.
The Hublot and Berluti collaboration came naturally. Modern-day alchemists in their fields, the master dial face maker and the leather maker come together again to create a watch with a colourful character and deep soul, ideal for the classic gentleman who is looking for that little extra touch that defines his style.
Olga Berluti’s ingenuity created Berluti’s Venezia leather with exclusive tanning. Hublot has realised the art of dressing its dials with this noble and natural material. This complex and delicate process requires the organic components of leather to be neutralised, making each dial inimitable. The limited edition of 200 watches is exclusive to the Middle East and reveals the skills of both Hublot and the Berluti House.
The Classic Fusion Berluti straps have been created through the same procedure dedicated to Berluti leather: from patterning, shaping, cutting and assembling the leather pieces, to the mounting of the strap and lacquering. Each strap is enviably exclusive. The timepieces are presented in emerald green Venezia leather. The Berluti-waxed and -brushed objects are an invitation to a ritual, an observance to brilliance.
The timepiece has its case, bezel, bezel lug, and “H” screws made of titanium, polished and satin, while the crown is of polished titanium that carries the HUBLOT logo, and the case back is of polished titanium engraved: "Limited Edition 200NUM" + "Berluti". While the glass of the watch is sapphire with anti-reflective treatment, the case back glass is again of sapphire, but with interior anti-reflective treatment, and the dial is of Berluti leather, coloured “emerald green”.
Housing the Caliber Hublot HUB1100, a mechanical self-winding movement, the watch boasts a power reserve of 42 hours. The strap is of black rubber and Scritto leather, in Berluti colour “emerald green”with black stitching, while the buckle is of black-plated stainless steel deployant buckle clasp – both blending together effortlessly to lend an aura of sophistication and mystique to the timepiece.
