Hublot’s Wearable Winner

The words “slim” and “classic” are words not usually employed to describe a Hublot watch. The Classic Fusion Skeleton Tourbillon Black Ceramic is just that, however, particularly if you compare it to the typical Hublot aesthetic, particularly the Big Bang.

Wind and Water: The Panerai Luminor 1950 Regatta 3 Days Chrono Flyback Titanio 47 MM

Superlatives should be used sparingly in watchmaking –especially mechanical watchmaking, which is (to put it mildly) a mature technology, having been evolving for over five centuries; they should especially be used sparingly when characterizing mechanical innovations, which, one often suspects, are there more to give watch fans and writers something to talk and write about […]
