Hate the name, like the watch.
Missed opportunity IMO. Why not the Sleek, or Contour, or something different than "extra thin". Maybe even Magic Thin.
Rant aside, the design looks good. The titanium model appears a better result in these photos. 90 hour power reserve manual wind? Excellent.
Pre-Basel 2012: Hublot Classic Fusion Extra Thin Skeleton - in-house hand wind movement!
CLASSIC FUSION EXTRA–THIN SKELETON Something completely new for the Hublot brand: an extra-thin skeleton watch, a Classic Fusion whose design has been refined, while retaining the dynamic and modern codes immediately recognisable as Hublot. With a 45 mm d...
Here it comes! MANUAL WINDING! Now this is really cool...
I am very much excited to see the actual one in fresh. Totally different approach, and the classic thin line is a very attractive new line-up. Best, Ken
Wow... They finally did it!
This is the very first modern Hublot that's exactly my cup of tea! Looks incredible! C
Exactly.
They now enter the new dimension Manual winding, in-house movement. Fantastic evolution. Ken
I think the Ti version would look very cool in real.
Bravo Hublot! Can't wait for more new watches...
Its a beauty!
Ken, Just one amendment to make is that it is not an inhouse developed movement like Unico :-( but hey its still one cool watch! It fits the wrist really well but it is only available (I think) in the 45mm version which may be too big for some people, but...
It is not finalized, but...
... the talk now indicates for Ti version in the CHF11K area.... Will be finalized by the time of Basel. Stay tuned! Best, Ken
Thanks Ken ...
for manual wind without the automatic module & rotor, could reduce somemore Kong
Maybe :-)
But for Hublot, this is very thin Maybe not Ultra-Thin, but deserves the name "Extra-Thin"! I am really looking forward to seeing it in person - Ti version would be my pick. Ken
Of course I trust you :-)
Thank you for encouraging words! I am anxious to see it in fresh. Ken

MC, not sure if Contour is the best....
name for this great looking piece, but, I agree it should not be called extra-thin. I do enjoy the very industrial look that makes it different than an AP Jumbo Skelet .
So you see it and understand too. Before I even opened the thread...
I thought of AP's new line of novelties which bear the "extra thin" name. That's not a good correlation for Hublot. The names I threw out were what very first popped into my mind. Honestly they can call it anything they want, but "extra thin" was a bad ch...
That must be a magic skeleton ala Hublot.
Sorry, but I don't see the dial as a skeleton, but as an open dial. Nothing less, nothing more. A skeleton plays on transparency. Here, this is not the case, by far. The ( con) Fusion is often made between the open dial and the skeleton. Here is an exampl...
