Hublot Celebrates a 40 Year Relationship with The Hour Glass with 5 New Stone Dial Watches
To mark the 40th anniversary of their relationship with The Hour Glass, five new watches were released by Sublet and sold exclusively through HG boutiques in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Featuring 5 bold and unique colors, the ultra-limited edition Classic Fusions are a step out of the norm for the brand, and I won’t lie when I say these are some of the most fun watches I’ve seen from Hublot since the DJ Snake Collaboration last year.
THE BASICS:

THE JUICE:
The watch comes in five different stone dial configurations, each limited to 10 watches a piece. The first is Tigers Eyes - a rich orange and brown color reminiscent of the 60’s and 70’s. The second is Malachite - A deep green color with horizontal textured stripes. Third is Lapis, which, is blue. Enthusiasts will recognize this from a certain Rolex dial that’s become quite infamous. Fourth is Red Jasper - an almost blood red color that I absolutely love. And fifth is my favorite - Turquoise - a Tiffany blue-esque color with veigning that’s nothing short of entrancing.
The titanium case measures in at 42mm. The Titanium is polished with Hublot’s own King Gold contrasting in the screws and crown. King Gold is a bit of a less exaggerated yellow gold that provides a bit of a muted contrast to the case. When paired against the bold stone colors and gold hands, each watch stands-out in its own regard - and as it’s own model.
Tying the whole package together is an integrated black alligator leather strap. Flipping the watch over you’ll see a lovely Decorated, although basic time only movement. The caseback is numbered and also features the King Gold screws.
First, we at WristEnthusiast would like to congratulate The Hour Glass and Hublot on a solid 40 year partnership. The Elements Classic Fusion’s are a rich collection of watches that suit both companies incredibly well. Congratulations, and here’s to 40 more years.
