Baselworld 2016: Introducing The Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti

For their latest collaboration with Hublot, Berluti has taken their tradition for fine leather craftsmanship a step further with the Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti. With this new piece, Hublot’s innovative brand of watchmaking meets Berluti’s emblematic Venezia leather and patina for the creation of a watch that makes leather the undisputed star.

For the numerous leather components of the piece, Berluti utilized the same complex procedure that goes into creating their world-renowned shoe leather. What results is a line of watches where each piece is a unique creation. The dials, available in negro grigio and tobacco bis colors, are made with Venezia leather and exclusively tanned. The process of creating the dials requires the organic compounds in the leather to be neutralized, further making each dial of the piece a unique work of art.

The case for both versions of the piece is 45mm. The case of the Berluti Scritto is crafted from 18k King Gold while the case of the Berluti All Black is made from satin-finished ceramic. The Classic Fusion Berluti Scritto is available in a limited edition of 250 pieces while the All Black version is available in a limited edition of 500 pieces.
