For ladies:
Look at the worn-jeans dial...
Big Bang Jeans Gold Diamonds 41mm
Power reserve: 115 hours
Well designed and finished back side.
Also, together with the easiness to attach/ detach the strap, the buckle can be removed without the tool (see the small button on the right side? Just slide it and the buckle goes off).

I love that blue CF
Does it come in 42mm or just 45mm for now?
Can't say I know how to appreciate the worn jeans look yet, maybe after I get a chance to see it in the fabric!
Thanks for a great review and report, Ken. Looks like the relationship in the LVMH group is starting to introduce some cool complications and good movements to Hublot.

For now, it's only 45mm, but it is likely...
.... that they introduce different sizes. The blue-ness is really stunning!

Very impressive - you can change it to the normal alligator strap at home.

So, that's it folks!

Which one made your drool most?
Can't wait the second wave at Basel.
Ken
Thank you very much for the interesting report!
I am really curious to Baselworld!
It is difficult to say what I like best, all new watches are very nice - except for the size!
42mm Hublot-size (which builds a bit smaller then others - maybe compareable to 40mm at other brands) is ok for me. 45 and more is simply not wareable for me!
The concept with the different colours for the strap and the rubber parts of the CF and BB is great.
The Carbon cases are also very nice! Not to mention the complications - which I cannot afford... ;-)
But in general - wonderful products! Simply adorable!
I am normally <40mm guy, but when it comes to Hublot.....
.. 45mm doesn't feel so big. But of course, even Hublot now makes smaller size, so there are lots of variety in the various sizes, 38, 39, 41, 42, 44, 45mm. You really should try at the AD or boutique which fits you best!
Thank you for your comment!
Ken
Sure - I did! ;-)
42 for CF fits perfectly!
41 for the BB as well, but there are spares male models (only 2) so far...
Excellent report Ken!
I was surprised by the sound of the minute repeater - very nice and seems to have strong volume.
I really like the 5 days tourbillon. That complication really comes off well in the Hublot cases with open dials.
I'm also looking forward to what Hublot shows at Basel. Thanks again for this report!
Yup the sound is very good....
.. carbon must be a good material for MR?
Sure, I would love to report on Basel novelties as soon as I can!
Thanks, Michael!
Ken
Nice on Ken...
Pieces I didn't even get to see... like the jeans and the new blue CF. The sound of the minute repeater was amazing.... crisp, clear and loud... I did wish I had time with it to take a video so glad you did.
Can't wait now for Basel!
Cheers
Andrew
Yeah! I was not expecting....
.. to see them in person in Tokyo so soon.
Thank you, HUBLOT Japan team!
Ken
Great report Ken!
I'm surprised to see how fast they landed in Japan.
The Aerofusion is for me a winner.
Thanks Ken!

Thanks Ken!

Thanks Fx!
I was surprised, too!
My take would be the same - Classic Fusion Aerofusion Moonphase! Very nice in person!
Thank you, Fx!
