Greetings. I'm Tim of Govberg and welcome to the world of Hublot. Today I'll be your guide to the futures of the Hublot Classic Fusion Berluti Blue. 45 mm in brushed and polished titanium, this watch is a 1 of 500 limited edition, combining Hublot's classical art of fusion of materials with the art of fusion of philosophies, that of celebrated Italian leather specialist, Berluti, and Hublot of Nyon, Switzerland.  

Now the watch is a special application of Berluti Venezia leather, patinated with Gaspard Décor. You can see it's blended with Hublot's signature natural vulcanized rubber for [souplesse 00:00:45] against the skin. Now the same embossed leather is used to craft the dial, but it's important to remember that even at the outer peripheries of the timepiece, the single fold deployant clasp, note the H-pattern chassis beneath its body. The watch offers upscale appointments, the clasp looping with the opposite side of the strap to avoid accidental droppage while donning or removing at bedside, and tucking all excess strap length underneath the clasp body itself, removing the need for minder loops to take up slack.  

Now the case is lightweight titanium both brushed and polished for contrast. The titanium ensures that the watch wears light on the wrist, in spite of its generous 45 mm proportions. The dial itself is a combination of the celebrated Berluti Venezia leather, crafted and embossed in Italy, with Hublot's Classic Fusion design language, simple, unadorned, beautiful and recognizable at a glance thanks to both the design as well as the legibility of the faceted and polished hands at center.  

Now the watch features an automatic caliber, Swiss-manufactured, regulated and decorated with a 42 hours power reserve. It features stop seconds so when you pull the crown out you stop the balance, and you can precisely synchronize to a known accurate reference time such as an online atomic clock. This is the caliber HUB1100. Now within its case, crafted of titanium, the caliber is protected down to 50 meters. The 50 meter water resistance per Hublot, endowing the watch with the ability to be used for surface swimming or bathing, but not deeper diving activities.   

Of course the timepiece and the entire collection of Hublot Classic Fusion premium timepieces can be seen on our website, govbergwatches.com.
