Hublot: Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Orlinski
14 December 2017Hublot and Richard Orlinski “the world’s bestselling contemporary french artist” combine their know-how to create the Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Orlinski. The watch features a brand-new design playing with angles and reflections. Ridges and facets on the watch reflect each other, from the case to the bezel, and from the push buttons to the hands.
The new Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Orlinski is available in two models, each released in a limited edition of 200 pieces: one in titanium and the other in blue ceramic. A 45mm artwork with sapphire dial, polished rhodium-plated hands, date at 6 and chronograph counters at 3 and 9.
Inside, 207 components move the self-winding caliber HUB1155 with chrono function and 42 hours of power reserve.
The visionary design of Richard Orlinski presented a major challenge for the Hublot Manufacture: the work of Richard Orlinski – a three-dimensional fold in the case – had to be modelled before it was cut from ceramic and titanium. These two materials feature one of the artist’s iconic signatures: mirror polishing.
