To commemorate the summer of 2019, Swiss Watchmaker Hublot launched their “Hublot Loves Summer” campaign with the release of three all new limited edition models. The watchmaker took inspiration for the three watches from three spectacular Mediterranean summer destinations. Mykonos, Capri and Ibiza are the locales which gave life to this very special set of limited edition models.
The three new editions inspired by iconic Mediterranean islands are all lightly colored Chronographs. Hublot which was founded in 1980 has a long time association with the sea. Not only is the design language of Hublot inspired by a boat’s porthole, but the brand regularly partners with nautically inclined organizations, such as the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco. Each of the watches in the collection is a Classic Fusion model.
The Classic Fusion Mykonos (pictured above) was created in a collaboration between Hublot and GOFAS Jewellery. The GOFAS boutique on Mykonos operates as an authorized Hublot seller. This timepiece is inspired by the beauty and history of the Cyclades islands, widely regarded as the birthplace of Apollo, and famous for archaeological ruins. Mykonos arguably the most famous island in the Cyclades Archipelago is renowned for it’s party culture, white houses, and blue doors. The Classic Fusion Mykonos features a sky blue ceramic bezel and an alligator strap which represent the Aegean Sea. The Mykonos edition is available in either Titanium or King Gold. The timepiece is limited to just fifty pieces all of which will be sold on Mykonos.
Hublot went all out when launching the Classic Fusion Chronograph Ibiza. For the summer of 2019 Hublot launched a temporary pop-up boutique on Ibiza. Set in the Beaeric Islands, Ibiza is well known for it’s summer nightlife and DJs who play across the islands many clubs. The Classic Fusion Ibiza is inspired by the modern and authentic aspects of the Bealeric Islands’ bohemian and chic culture. The timepiece is defined by it’s dark blue ceramic bezel, peace and love symbol on the seconds hand, as well as a bi-material strap in blue rubber and white alligator. These elements benefited from inspiration gathered by viewing Ibiza’s traditional dry-stone finca houses and absorbing the Island’s famous hippie culture.
Finally the Classic Fusion Chronograph Special Edition Capri represents everything that is this beautiful southern Italian Island. The faraglioni, which are coastal rock formations formed by waves gave inspiration to the watch’s white rubber and sky blue ceramic design elements. Although this watch is 45 mm it’s design language makes it a sleek piece to behold. Our favorite details on this watch are the blue satin dial and matching ceramic case with a versatile white rubber strap. The Classic Fusion Chronograph Special Edition Capri is limited to just 30 examples, all of which will be offered from the Hublot boutique on via Vittorio Emmanuele on Capri.
