In the world of horology, innovation often disrupts tradition. Such is the case with the new line of Hublot Classic Fusion Tributo watches. Putting behind the legacy of Sellita-supplied movements, this collection introduces Zenith Elite-derived calibers, hailing a significant shift in horological trends.
This twist is captured as part of a tribute to the vibrant 46-year journey of the brand. The brand’s founder, Carlo Crocco, has taken an active role in launching the Tributo collection and celebrating the evolution of Hublot. What sets these watches apart is their bold design - a golden watch paired with a rubber strap and a black dial, a disruptive recipe that shook the luxury watch industry as much as the launch of the Royal Oak with its steel integrated bracelet.
Arnold & Son has ingeniously embodied the legacy of the revered 18th-century English chronometer maker John Arnold. Innovative creations which reflect the dimensions of Arnold’s work are present in the brand’s collections. Each category, ‘Astronomy’, ‘Chronometry’, and ‘World Time’, honours different aspects of his groundbreaking work.
Among the brand’s signature complications is the true seconds feature, also known as a deadbeat seconds mechanism. The DSTB, short for Dial Side True Beat, belongs to the chronometry family and is a vivid tribute to Arnold’s precision chronometers. In this masterpiece, the rare true seconds complication is laid bare for all to appreciate its aesthetic appeal and exceptional functionality. Furthermore, the DSTB edition introduces a stop-seconds function, a salute to Arnold’s pioneering chronometry work, housed in finely crafted, luxurious precious metal casing.
