Hublot is known for creating innovative and unusual high-tech materials in its research and development lab in Nyon, Switzerland. Now, the brand offers a unique take on gold to create the dial of this watch. In a special, intricate heating process, gold flakes are crystallized in unique patterns. The gold flake particles rise and then set in a crystalline form that the artisan then layers, cluster by cluster, onto the dial. The final piece is coated with a transparent lacquer that was also years in the development stages. Because the crystallization is totally random, each watch is always unique. The Hublot mechanical movement (HUB1112) with automatic winding and 42 hours of power reserve powers the Classic Fusion Gold Crystal watches.

Fusing the past and present, craftsmanship with innovation and art with timekeeping, Hublot creates futuristic timepieces that despite their convention to watchmaking tradition, are truly unconventional. The first brand to dare combine gold with rubber in the same watch and to create an entirely ceramic-encased tourbillon, Hublot does not follow the pack. From its unique Unico automatic chronographs, revolutionary motor functions and unparalleled power reserve found in the Meca-10 tourbillon and MP-11 calibers, Hubolt pays homage to all scopes of human capability.Having partnered with sportsmen, artists, musicians and chefs, the brand's creative potential is also constantly challenged and refined in having to accommodate all wrists. Working also with Kevin Pietersean and his platform Save Our Rhino, and with the Polar Pod - a zero-emission, ecological explorer vessel - Hublot's dedication to being futuristic not only lies in its design, but in its values that seek to preserve our planet.
