    "Hublot? A different way to progress" say those who know this unique Swiss watch company, where each and every moment moves forward to create the future at breathtaking speed.
    A dream, initiated and developed by Hublot’s Chairman Jean-Claude Biver with CEO, Ricardo Guadalupe, these two men are responsible for turning the Hublot brand into a genuine success story in which the Big Bang, King Power, and Classic Fusion represent the symbols of a constantly evolving tradition. From watch complications and revolutionary materials to world class collaboration such as FIFA World CupTM and Ferrari, Hublot characterizes itself through the “Art of Fusion” philosophy, bringing tradition into the future.
    This year Hublot is unveiling a Classic Fusion created in partnership with Brazilian artist
    Romero Britto. This timepiece, created for the 6th edition of the Only Watch auction, stands apart from the other models as it is being auctioned along with the canvas that inspired it. A first!
    This is a watch that embodies the full innovative capacity of the Hublot Manufacture by fusing art and crafts. The Classic Fusion Only Watch Britto combines the traditional art of enameling with the contemporary pop art and cubism of Brazilian artist Romero Britto.

  • Artist Biography

    Hublot

    Swiss • 1980

    Hublot was founded by Carlo Crocco in 1980 and named after the French word for "porthole," which resembles their iconic bezel design. Hublot's first watch followed three years of research and was the first wristwatch to be fitted with a natural rubber strap. The brand's most recognizable watch today is the 'Big Bang', which was first launched in 2005 upon the arrival of CEO and shareholder Jean-Claude Biver. Other noteworthy models are the 'Classic Fusion' and 'King Power'.
