Since 2017, replica Hublot has collaborated with the famous French sculptor Richard Orlinski, and over the past eight years, this partnership has resulted in numerous co-designed watches. For LVMH Watch Week 2024, two new replica Hublot Classic Fusion Tourbillon Orlinski models have been added to the collection — one in Yellow Magic and another in Sky Blue — both featuring ceramic cases with the distinctive angular shapes characteristic of Orlinski’s style.
Although these aren’t the first 1:1 Super Clone Hublot Classic Fusion Tourbillon Orlinski watches (in 2019, Hublot released versions in sapphire, King Gold, and black ceramic), they are the first to feature colorful ceramic cases. These cases measure 45mm in diameter and 12.05mm in thickness. Anyone familiar with Orlinski’s art will recognize the diamond-shaped facets on the case, a hallmark of his work. The sharp angles of the design create dramatic contrasts between light and shadow, accentuating the polished ceramic surface. The ceramic bezel is also angular, featuring 12 sides along with the signature six H-shaped titanium screws.
Discussing the replica Hublot watches that carry his name, Orlinski, who has been the top-selling contemporary French artist since 2015, stated, “By giving me creative freedom, replica Hublot allowed me to push boundaries. I’ve had the opportunity to take the Classic Fusion design to its maximum potential. Smooth yet dynamic, like the edges of its ceramic case, it reflects a sense of animalistic energy, the ‘Born Wild’ spirit that runs through my creations. I first conceived this design in 2004, 20 years ago. Now, I’m proud to show the world alongside replica Hublot that our journey is far from over.”
The Yellow Magic Classic Fusion Tourbillon Orlinski features an open-worked dial, highlighted by yellow hands, markers, and a power reserve indicator, along with a black chapter ring. The winding crown and bezel screws are also black to match, as are the black PVD-coated bridges of the movement that are visible. On the other hand, the Sky Blue Classic Fusion Tourbillon Orlinski adopts a lighter design, with silver-toned hands, markers, a sky-blue chapter ring, and silver rhodium-plated bridges.
Both versions are powered by the manual-wound HUB6021 skeleton movement, which includes a tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock. Comprising 184 components, the movement, visible through the sapphire crystals on both sides of the case, operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and provides a power reserve lasting five days.
