What do you think of Hublot? What we think about it, as mentioned in their famous Art of Fusion motto, the bold use of different materials and colors in its timepieces. The importance of blue in Swiss watchmaking is obvious; almost every brand has maybe dozens of models that use blue. However, playing with harmony with different shades of this beautiful color and creating a sense of “eternity” is not a task that can be achieved by any brand.

The Swiss luxury watchmaker Hublot created a three-part concept entitled "Sky, Earth, Sea" I collaboration with Milan’s automobile design house Garage Italia. The trilogy that focuses on blue already attracts attention of watch aficionados with the first Classic Fusion Chronograph Garage Italia model.
