Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti 2016 Review

This dial is here made in embossed leather by Berluti, the Parisian shoemaker that celebrated its 120th birthday in 2015. Indexes and logo, even if similar to the other watches of the brand, are here embossed directly in the leather – a superb, slightly grained leather with a warm patina and unique tobacco brown colour. This dial makes a perfect contrast with the replica Hublot Classic Fusion case, here in 45mm and 18k King Gold.

Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti is also featured with a matching strap, using the classical “fusion” concept of the brand, meaning a rubber strap with a leather insert on top (guarantying a very high durability and great comfort).

The strap shares its colour with the dial and features inscriptions, sort of written scarifications (which explains the name “Scritto”). And the watch is delivered into a superb presentation box, looking like a shoebox, made in the same leather as the strap, with the same sort of artistic writings.

Powered by the calibre HUB1100 (an out-sourced movement with 42 hours of power reserve). Even at 45mm and made in gold, it remains relatively slim and comfortable on the wrist. It is for sure a bold and large watch but it remains balanced and easily wearable.
