Created in partnership by Hublot and luxury jewelry brand Bucherer, the Hublot Classic Fusion Bronze Bucherer Blue Edition is meant to epitomize the Hublot's philosophy of "The Art of Fusion." Featuring an elaborately designed bronze case and mechanically automatic movement, the watch showcases an intricate blend of precious and industrial materials. The black ceramic bezel stands out beautifully against the bronze case, which in turn features a natural patina.
In terms of internals, the Bucherer Blue Edition is powered by a mechanical HUB1112 automatic movement that comes packed with a 42-hour power reserve. The internals blend beautifully with the aesthetic of the watch and according to Benoît Lecigne, Hublot General Manager, "I am confident this edition demonstrates the strength and vision of both brands."
