By applying a new sage-green hue to three of its historic diameters, the Nyon-based manufacture is making a shift towards restraint.. The Classic Fusion collection moves away from saturated contrasts to study the integration of a solid color on titanium architecture, unifying the reading of the range.
Homogeneity through materials
The introduction of this pastel shade is deployed on three case sizes: 33, 42 and 45 millimetres. The structure of each piece is based on a titanium alloy with polished edges and satin-finished surfaces. . This cool materiality dialogues with the sunburst finish of the green dial.. The integration effort extends to the bracelet, where Maison Hublot has developed a fabric insert woven from 3D threads inclined at a 45-degree angle. Attached to a rubber base, this asymmetrical mesh visually reproduces the tension of a Milanese mesh while guaranteeing the flexibility of a technical bracelet.
Detail : Calibre gradation
While the color unifies the line, the mechanics fragment it into three distinct propositions.
- The 45-millimeter version features the HUB1143 self-winding chronograph caliber. Its 280 components and 59 jewels move at a frequency of 4 Hz in a case 13.05 millimeters thick.
- The 42-millimeter iteration favors purity with three central hands and a date display at three o’clock. It houses the 177-part automatic HUB1110 movement, with a case thickness of just 10.40 millimeters.
- The 33-millimeter model is 8.40 millimeters thin and powered by the HUB2912 quartz movement. Its architecture is highlighted by a polished titanium bezel set with 36 diamonds weighing a total of 0.8 carats.
Redefining the essential
This collection reflects a paradigm shift. Julien Tornare, head of the Manufacture, points out that while the brand has based its identity on innovative materials and complications, this chromatic proposal shifts the focus to minimalism. The use of sage green functions here as a visual moderator, calming the industrial design of the case.
By erasing the usual segmentations in favor of a transversal color, the Manufacture confirms that contemporary haute horlogerie can no longer be read solely by the complexity of its escapements, but by the appropriateness of its chromatic choices for everyday use.
