Hublot and Jeff Koons transform the Classic Fusion watch into wearable pop art

Hublot collaborates with renowned contemporary artist Jeff Koons to create a limited edition timepiece, transforming the Classic Fusion watch into wearable pop art. The collaboration draws inspiration from Koons' Balloon Dog sculpture, which has become one of the most expensive artworks by a living artist. Three color variations of the 42mm timepieces are available, each featuring a distinct puffy case design.

The blue and red models are made from anodised aluminium, while the silver version boasts a polished stainless steel finish. The watches incorporate subtle Balloon Dog elements, such as a balloon knot crown, a rubber tail detail, and a miniature sculpture on the seconds hand. The strap, crafted from stitched metallic leather or glossy polymer, further enhances the whimsical appearance. Only 200 units of each colour are produced, making it a highly sought-after collectible.
