Hands-On - The The New Hublot Classic Fusion Original Collection
Although Hublot has become one of the world's most prominent Swiss watchmakers, it remains a relatively young brand. Everything started about 40 years ago with a luxury sports watch with an unprecedented combination of materials, in particular gold and rubber.

The Roman watchmaker began competing for ultra-thin complications with the 5mm thin Octo Finissimo Tourbillon, followed by the
