Jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) reports on the Singapore launch of the Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti, a collaboration that blends Hublot's technicality with Berluti's artisanal leather. His post captures the watches' unique aesthetic, particularly the warmth and charm imparted by the leather dials and straps.

the Hour Glass (authorised dealer for Hublot in Singapore) and Berluti Singapore jointly organized a cocktail party to launch the Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti watches in the Singapore Berluti boutique tonight.

I have seen pics of this watch before on PuristSPro thanks to Andrew and Christian and Fx but first time in the metal.

Some pics I took.

Beautiful paring of the Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti with Berluti shoes.

The dial is amazing. Extremely charming and warm when coupled with the rose gold.

The dial and case plays with light very well. The Berluti leather strap is also very very nice and finely made.

At 45mm, it doesn't wear large even on my 6.2 inch wrist.

The bezel, dial, case and strap really plays with light very well. I love the colors and the warmth of the watch.

An esteemed Purist from Hong Kong joined me tonight. From his watch, could you guess who was it?

The packaging of the watch - with Berluti hand made watch pouch and their leather cream too.

the black ceramic version

Pairing of both versions with matching Berluti shoes

Even though I prefer the warmth of the rose gold version, this wears very well and looks very nice too. A nice evening watch I would say. A dark grey look with a slight dark purple hue like patina on Berluti shoes I think.

despite the dark dial and case, it plays with light well too.

I think this partnership between Hublot and Berluti is a match made in heaven ! Hublots tend to be more technical and colder but the Berluti leather and dial manage to warm up the watch a lot and gives it a much more charming and rustic feel. You have to try it in the metal to judge for yourself. It's really very nice I must admit.m

Now if only the watch comes with a pair of Berluti shoes .... It would have been even more compelling!

So can you guess which overseas Purist was with me tonight?

Cheers

Robin

Key Points from the Discussion

The partnership between Hublot and Berluti is seen as highly successful, with the Berluti leather adding a new dimension of warmth and charm to Hublot's typically technical designs. The King Gold and brown leather combination is particularly striking.
The leather dial of the Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti possesses a 'magical effect' in how it interacts with light, requiring viewing in person to fully appreciate its nuances.
Despite the positive reception, some collectors are not convinced by the partnership, finding the dial unappealing and believing the collaboration doesn't work aesthetically.
The Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti, while not appealing to all Hublot fans, is considered an interesting concept due to the unique patina and warmth of the Berluti leather.

The 5575 was a dead give away! And if you wore your 5131G too I would have guessed right!! Sham

But there is no other purist from Hong Kong who has both watches and who posts photos as often as you do! And please keep up the good work!

And yes, it would have been a nice touch if every original owner gets a complimentary pair of Berluti shoes. - AT
