Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti Scritto

The Hublot Classic usion Berluti Scritto is a one of a kind limited addition watch that was assembled by hand by Hublot experts. The “painstaking perfection” that is this watch comes in only 250 pieces so if you want one, you should hurry and order it! There are many advantages to owning the Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti Scritto. Here are some of them:

The strap

The first thing that strikes you when you first lay your eyes on the Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti Scritto is the beautiful brown and gold colors of the dial and the strap. They go together like magic. The strap has beautiful black edges with brown Venezia leather and in the middle, you can see gently designed Scritto décor. The stitches on the edges of the strap emphasize the beauty of the handwritten Scritto décor and gives it a retro or vintage look. For me, when I first looked at the strap, I immediately thought of the ring in Lord of the Rings. One watch to rule them all, in limited edition!

Inner casing

The second most important element of this model from Hublot is the inner casing. The dial also has a few pieces of Berluti Patinated Venezia leather which adds a special touch to the overall watch. The Hublot Logo stands out and is encased in the leather within the dial. The colors chosen for the Hublot watch go great together and they are also emphasized by the sapphires on the outside casing of the dial. The “Hublot” logo is placed in the upper part of the dial. On the bottom of it there is “Automatic” written, which emphasizes the fact that it is a Swiss watch and as we all know, Swiss watches are at the top of the food chain in the watch industry.
Why the use of so much leather though? In the words of the CEO of Hublot himself, “we wanted to go beyond the traditional approach to leather and work with THE most emblematic leather there is. Working with Berluti was a natural choice.”
The dial of the watch is quite large when you first lay eyes on it and it may be a little intimidating. The idea behind it is that the watch has to look like a shoebox, particularly when it is in the original box. When you take it out and place it around your wrist, the dial also stands out without being too flashy.
In short, the Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti Scritto is one of the most unique watches on the market. The use of the leather, the inscriptions on the leather and the sapphires used to create it make it worth every penny. Don’t forget though, if you want one, hurry up! Only 250 pieces of it were originally made!

Hublot Masterpiece MP-07

Hublot is one of the brands that from time to time love to shock with a completely unexpected product. Its watchmakers and engineers are clearly artisans of form and functionality as this year they managed to come up with one of the most intriguing watches ever made. The Hublot Masterpiece MP-07 is the brand’s new addition, a novelty that debuted at the Baselworld 2016 where it shined throughout the event due to its revolutionary aesthetics and mind-blowing complications. It is just that type of timepiece that changes everything you knew about modern watchmaking.

At the Baselworld 2016, Hublot seized the opportunity to get everyone’s attention by unveiling the remarkable and new MP-07 42 Days Power Reserve watch, an innovative design that seeks to overthrow the considerably more expensive MP-05 La Ferrari, a model that was launched in 2013. Their design is different. While the Ferrari version preferred rounded shapes, the MP-07 is clearly a follower of the edgier rectangular forms. Also, I can’t help but notice that the MP-05 La Ferrari has a more futuristic look whereas the MP-05 has a slightly traditional flair.

Hublot created the Masterpiece MP-07 by using a vertical disposed movement which features nine series-linked barrels. The tourbillon can be seen in action due to the round convex lens that is located on the side of the watch. The timepiece is engineered so that you can easily read it while driving your car. It is that kind of watch that gives you a certain modern feel and makes you look more sophisticated and bold. And the best part is that its moderate design makes it suitable for any age, style or personality.

The rectangular and unconventional dial has an unusual presentation for its most important features. The hours and minutes are located on the bottom left side, the seconds are positioned on the upper right while the power reserve can be found on the bottom right. This unique dial layout is nicely enhanced by a black and white chromatic with bright red accents. Furthermore, the case is manufactured from microblasted black PVD titanium and the strap is manufactured from an extremely durable black smooth rubber.

The Hublot Masterpiece MP-07 comes with an impressive 42-day power reserve and the very interesting thing about this watch is that it can be wound and set only with an electric-powered winding drill. Once again, this confirms the fact that this watch is an exclusive piece that requires the skills and appreciation of a true watch enthusiast.

So far, Hublot has been very secretive about this model. Even though it has been launched at the Baselworld 2016 show months ago it wasn’t posted on their website yet. There is little information disclosed about the full potential and functionality of the MP-07. By presenting just a few details about the product, the brand preserves its exclusive nature and augments its value by the day. Basically, the watch was exhibited in a presentation case and was presented as the continuation of the Hublot’s range-topping Masterpiece Collection, an evolution of the Ferrati MP-05.

The Hublot Masterpiece MP-07 has a retail price of $276,000 and the watch is also offered in a diamonds version which costs $920,000. This contemporary timepiece with a revolutionary verticalized movement is the brand’s continuation for its high end Mastepiece Collection, a series of watches designed to impress with futuristic features and aesthetics.

While their products aren’t addressed to an entirely luxury market, a good amount of attention is given to design and quality. The watch is meant to bring together the hip and young market of Italia Independent with the luxury oriented expertise of Hublot.

Texalium, the main innovation when it comes to the technical aspect of the Hublot Big Bang Unico Italia Independent is a material much alike carbon fiber.

It has a thin aluminum coating on its surface which gives it its unmistakable look and texture.

Despite having amazing technical features, Hublot Classic Fusion Shawn Carter has a slim design. Without being too bulky, it looks rather bold on the wearer’s wrist and does not run the risk of going unnoticed. The dial features the regular three handles with a seconds dial. The perfect fit for a trendy man, Hublot Classic Fusion Shawn Carter is a fashion accessory as much as a time piece. While its HUB1300 movement ensures this time measuring device’s precision, the neat design makes it modern and adapted to our world. As it is a tribute to a rap singer, it had to be created in such a way that it is timely adequate and fashion suitable with nowadays times.
