WITH THE PARTNERSHIP OF THE FAMOUS ARTURO FUENTE CIGAR HOUSE:

CLASSIC FUSION FUENTE LIMITED EDITION 45 mm

Classic Fusion Fuente Limited Edition is a true work of art by Hublot and Arturo Fuente, who have decided to combine all their expertise to create an exclusive product that will forever mark the history of watchmaking.

The Hublot Classic Fusion Fuente Limited Edition watch has been created with great passion, with every little detail having its importance, to mark this shared love of beautiful craftsmanship placed under the sign of excellence.

Hublot's strength lies in its identity: the Art of Fusion, with the true power to create watches where tradition and innovation become one. This is the spirit that emanates from the Classic Fusion Fuente Limited Edition collection.

Arturo Fuente cigars, famous for the quality and craftsmanship of their cigars, wanted to share this wonderful adventure to bring all their know-how. It was in 1980, with a new factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic, that Arturo Fuente won his bet by seducing smokers of good cigars thanks to the quality of these cigars, success smiled on him and has not left him since, but the Arturo Fuente house wanted to go even further with the creation of the Classic Fusion Limited Edition and thus share its success alongside Hublot.

The Hublot watch is available in three limited editions. It is an invitation to experience time without constraints but always with the ability to measure its passage: such is the spirit of the Classic Fusion Fuente Limited Edition watches.

Each watch is truly born from the passion and aspiration of the watchmakers of the house, each model begins with an inspiration where nature is present, there is a real desire to surprise and innovate more, beyond a unique form, it is a case, a dial, a mechanism or even a bracelet that must be invented thus each model has its history with Hublot and is part of the great history of the house since 1980.

All three editions will be powered by the HUB1112 caliber, an automatic movement operating at a frequency of 28 A/h and providing a 800-hour power reserve. The black-plated stainless steel folding clasp has been specially designed to offer you the high-quality workmanship that is the hallmark of the Swiss watchmaker.

The Case is Engraved in black brushed bronze or titanium or King Gold "H" shaped bezel Sapphire with anti-reflective treatment Crown: Engraved and black brushed bronze or titanium. The Thickness is 10,95 mm with a Water Resistance of 5 ATM (50 m).

The strap will be black rubber and green or blue or burgundy vintage alligator with green or blue or burgundy stitching.

Featuring the famous Classic Fusion case with a diameter of 45 mm, the first model is made of King Gold, a unique alloy developed by Hublot that combines gold and ceramic. The Classic Fusion Fuente Limited watch is a regal product where the gold material pays a beautiful tribute to the Fuente brand.

The tobacco leaves in the box are beautifully engraved with all the goldsmith work that is characteristic of the watchmaking house, the bezel reproduces a pattern reminiscent of the earthenware tiles decorating the floors of the old colonial houses of Havana by integrating the letter X, which is none other than the emblem of the Fuente family.

To honor the city where he is from, Fuente highlights the city of Güines, this city in the province of Havana where the history of his family took root, such is the symbolism of the back of the watch also with the mention Château de la Fuente as well as the serial number of the limited edition of the model. Displaying golden appliques, its dial comes in burgundy color, a tone also repeated on its strap with folding clasp in alligator lined with rubber.

In total fifty copies of this version will be produced, this watch combines functionality, precision and aesthetics.

The second model in brushed titanium features the same fine chiseling as the King Gold model but features a blue dial. The beautiful alloy has reflections that evolve over time, perfectly matching the shade of green chosen for its strap and dial. This model will be produced in a total of 100 numbered pieces.

The third watch uses bronze, which will also be produced in 100 new pieces.

They will be officially unveiled by Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot, during the Asian Tour de Fuente.

“My family and I are deeply touched by the designs on this new Hublot-Fuente model. I see them as a tribute to our emotional connection to the land, to the terroirs that allow us to produce our cigars, and to our origins. It once again honors the shared values of the Fuente tobacconist and the Hublot factory.”
