9 9 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I or colours of light. This special quality guarantees exceptional stability and durability. It is precision laser-cut to the nearest micron, and its shades of colour will not fade over time. The interplay of colours and shades is thus almost infinite. The case is the Hublot Classic Fusion 45mm, open on the back to reveal the sapphire crystal. A choice of titanium or black ceramic finishes is available on the case, as well as on the bezel and crown, which also features the signature ‘H’ for Hublot in a black rubber insert. The strap is a smart black alligator leather, stitched onto a black rubber backing, and it closes with a choice of deployant buckle in 18k red gold or black PVD steel. The first four iterations of the Tourbillon Vitrail collection will be available in red or blue tones. And the future holds myriad possibilities. This technology already offers 10 colours of translucent glass, and several shades are possible for each colour. This means that there could be thousands of possible colour combinations, potentially guaranteeing each customer a unique watch. If Hublot were to raise the fusion stakes even higher, by using other materials instead of glass, such as fine slivers of ceramic, semi- precious stones, metal or wood, infinite variations could be possible. With this unique concept, patented by Hublot, there is an endless range of possibilities to create a different watch, each playing on its highly colourful translucency. The Tourbillon Vitrail is first in watchmaking and the start of a wonderful story by Hublot.
