25 January 2021 OUTSTANDING CLASSIC FUSION ORLINSKI 40MM Richard Orlinski’s now emblematic edges, facets and bevels have been artistically sculpting Hublot watches since 2017, when he and the Swiss watchmaker presented their first artwork to be worn on the wrist. Since then, no material shaped by Hublot, nor any component of the watches, has seemed able to resist Orlinski’s masterful faceting. Not even ceramic, not even a dial! The Classic Fusion Orlinski 40mm now comes in a monochrome mode in two limited editions entirely clad in ceramic, with the exception of the strap and the crown. In terms of colorimetry, the flashy blue and gloss black are reminiscent of the colour codes used in the artist’s XXL bestiary. Classic Fusion Orlinski Blue Ceramic VIEW FULL DETAILS When art and technology fuse to shape time The material chosen for these two limited editions is ceramic; a material of choice for Hublot ever since the launch of its iconic Big Bang collection in 2005. Since then, its R&D and Metallurgy departments have invented and patented several varieties of ceramic including a world first in 2018 with bright red ceramic, and Magic Gold, the only scratch-resistant 18K gold alloy to fuse 24K gold with boron carbide. Hublot is unquestionably the master of materials, and of fusion, an art that the Manufacture is constantly perfecting. For the first time, faceted ceramic dresses the whole watch, including its dial. The result is a bevelled architecture that gives life to the ceramic in origami style.

These watches are like artworks to be worn, and ones that have naturally taken on the three-dimensional folds of Richard Orlinski’s sculptures. A deliberate emphasis, bright colours, encapsulated in two limited editions. In terms of size, these two monochrome models keep the 40 mm diameter proportions of their alter ego, and beat to the rhythm of an automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve and are worn on a soft rubber strap.

These two monochrome editions are perfectly in line with the DNA of the fusion of our two worlds, that of the House of Hublot, which shapes precious materials and dreams up extraordinary products, and mine, a world of pop and colour. ” Richard Orlinski ARTIST technical specifications case reference 550.CS.1800.RX.ORL21 Size 40 mm case Polished Black Ceramic bezel Polished Black Ceramic with 6 H-shaped Titanium Screws water resistance 50m or 5 ATM crystal Sapphire with Anti-reflective Treatment dial Faceted Black Ceramic movement movement HUB1100 Self-winding Movement power reserve 42 Hours strap & clasp strap Black Smooth Rubber Straps clasp Black-plated Stainless Steel Deployant Buckle Clasp technical specifications case reference 550.ES.5100.RX.ORL21 Size 40 mm case Polished Blue Ceramic bezel Polished Blue Ceramic with 6 H-shaped Black-plated Titanium Screws water resistance 50m or 5 ATM crystal Sapphire with Anti-reflective Treatment dial Faceted Blue Ceramic movement movement HUB1100 Self-winding Movement power reserve 42 Hours strap & clasp strap Blue Smooth Rubber Straps clasp Stainless Steel Deployant Buckle Clasp LATEST NEWS THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS AND PAMPERED FELINE CHOUPETTE STARS IN HUBLOT’S BIG BANG 20TH ANNIVERSARY CAMPAIGN Nyon, Switzerland, 2nd May 2025 – The internet’s reigning feline icon, Choupette, has landed her most unexpected role with luxury’s most polarizing watch brand Hublot.
