In recent years, collectors have placed increasing value on watches that offer more than technical merit. There is growing interest in creations that speak to cultural identity, personal values, and creative intent. Against this backdrop, collaborations between watchmakers and retailers have become a meaningful avenue for creativity.

The partnership between Hublot and The Hour Glass reflects this shift. Built on mutual respect for forward-thinking design and material experimentation, the collaboration avoids repetition and embraces contrast. Colour is used with intent. Materials are selected for both performance and relevance. Each edition is shaped by a shared approach but remains open to creative interpretation.

Over time, this partnership has produced a varied body of work. The Spirit of Big Bang Carbon Candy Pink introduced bold colour to high-tech composites. The Carbon White edition took a more restrained direction, exploring purity and proportion. The Vietnam Edition drew on cultural themes, while the Classic Fusion Elements series brought geological materials into the conversation. Together, these projects have expanded the definition of Hublot’s Art of Fusion.

The Spirit of Big Bang Carbon Candy Pink is a striking fusion of playful aesthetics and serious watchmaking. Housed in a 42 mm tonneau-shaped case made from marbled pink frosted carbon—a fusion of high-tech carbon fibre and vivid candy pink composite inclusions—each creation in this collaboration is visually unique. Its open-worked dial showcases the HUB4700 self-winding skeleton chronograph movement, rooted in the legendary El Primero architecture, with a high-frequency 5 Hz beat and 50-hour power reserve. Candy pink accents—seen on the hour markers, logo, and chronograph indicators—are paired with a structured rubber strap in matching pink, plus a second black strap, both interchangeable via Hublot’s One Click system.

As a vivid counterpoint to the Spirit of Big Bang Carbon White Malaysia Edition (2023), Candy Pink swaps monochrome restraint for exuberant chromatic energy. Where Carbon White leans into minimalist purity, Candy Pink is extroverted—infusing Hublot’s avant-garde spirit with an emotionally resonant colour language. It also departs from the organic irregularity of the Classic Fusion Elements II collection, choosing to express colour through engineered precision rather than mineral formation. Together, these creations offer two approaches to boldness: one rooted in nature, the other in material innovation—each crafted for collectors who view colour as a meaningful form of expression.

Presented in a 42 mm tonneau-shaped case, the Spirit of Big Bang Carbon White embodies Hublot’s mastery of monochrome materiality. Developed in collaboration with The Hour Glass to celebrate Hublot’s home in Malaysia, the watch features a microblasted white frosted carbon case and a matching bezel and caseback with a matte effect form, creating a marbled texture that is both lightweight and visually refined. Powered by the HUB4700 automatic skeleton chronograph movement, it delivers high-frequency accuracy at 5 Hz and a 50-hour power reserve. The open-worked dial, framed by white hour markers and detailing, sits beneath a sapphire crystal, while a structured white rubber strap and alternate black option allow for versatility and contrast.

Unlike the 2025 Spirit of Big Bang Carbon Candy Pink, the Carbon White adopts a more subdued and architectural stance. Both watches share the same case form, technical movement, and layered carbon construction, yet they diverge dramatically in mood and message. Candy Pink is vibrant and expressive, a statement of chromatic optimism; Carbon White, by contrast, draws its strength from discipline and material contrast.

The Hublot Classic Fusion Titanium Vietnam Limited Edition pays homage to Vietnamese heritage through its striking red lacquered dial, symbolising bloodshed, struggle, and revolution. The dial's centrepiece—a gold star—represents the nation's founding ideals, with each of its five points symbolising a pillar of national reconstruction. Crafted in a 42 mm satin-finished and polished titanium case, the watch is powered by the MHUB1110 self-winding movement, offering a 48-hour power reserve to showcase a balance between technical precision and cultural significance. A discreet date aperture at 3 o’clock ensures functional practicality while maintaining the dial’s symmetrical poise. The watch is complemented by a black-lined rubber strap, enhancing its elegant and understated aesthetic.

Positioned between the vibrant expression of the Spirit of Big Bang Carbon Candy Pink and the natural textures of the Classic Fusion Elements series, this edition stands out for its narrative clarity. Unlike the Elements II collection, which derives its colour from geological materials, the Vietnam Limited Edition uses a singular hue to convey a rich cultural story, making it a distinctive and purposeful addition to Hublot's collaborative creations.

The 2022 Classic Fusion Elements series marked a pivotal moment in Hublot's exploration of natural materials, presenting five distinct models, each featuring a unique stone dial: Tiger’s Eye, Red Jasper, Malachite, Turquoise, and Lapis Lazuli. The first of two Classic Fusion Elements collections, these 42 mm satin-finished and polished titanium cases are complemented by King Gold crowns and bezel lugs; these watches are powered by the HUB1100 self-winding movement, offering a 42-hour power reserve. The dials, devoid of date apertures, allow the intrinsic beauty of each stone to take centre stage, with gold-plated hands providing subtle contrast. Each watch is paired with a black alligator strap featuring gold stitching, secured by a gold-plated stainless steel deployant buckle.

This collection laid the groundwork for the Classic Fusion Elements II series released in 2024, which expanded upon the concept by introducing new stones such as Pink Jasper, Sodalite, Nephrite Jade, Lunar Meteorite, and a return of Turquoise. While both collections share the same 42mm titanium case and minimalist design ethos, Elements II incorporates 18k gold accents on the crown and bezel screws while being powered by the HUB1110 movement. The evolution from Elements to Elements II reflects Hublot's ongoing commitment to blending traditional craftsmanship with innovative materials, offering collectors a deeper connection to the natural world through horology.

Building upon the foundation laid by the 2022 Elements collection, the 2024 Classic Fusion Elements II series introduced a heightened interplay of natural materials and refined design. Housed in a 42 mm polished and satin-finished titanium case, each watch is accentuated with 18k King Gold details on the crown and H-shaped bezel screws, adding a touch of warmth and sophistication. The collection features five distinctive dials crafted from unique materials: pink jasper, sodalite, nephrite jade, turquoise, and lunar meteorite. These dials, devoid of date apertures, allow each stone's intrinsic beauty and texture to take centre stage. Powered by the HUB1110 self-winding movement with a 42-hour power reserve, each watch is completed with a black alligator strap secured by an 18k gold and stainless steel deployant buckle.

Compared to the original Elements collection, which showcased stones like tiger’s eye and malachite within a more restrained titanium and King Gold framework, Elements II amplifies the visual narrative through bolder stone selections and enhanced gold accents. While both collections share the same case dimensions and movement, Elements II's choice of materials, like lunar meteorite, introduces a cosmic dimension, expanding the thematic scope from terrestrial elegance to celestial intrigue. This evolution reflects Hublot's commitment to the 'Art of Fusion,' seamlessly blending traditional craftsmanship with innovative materials to create timeless and contemporary watches.
