Hublot and Yohji Yamamoto collaborate for the fourth time in five yearsRedefining the art of black! A limited edition watch filled with the history of both brands
Hublot and Yohji Yamamoto have collaborated for the fourth time since their collaboration in 2020 to present the ” Classic Fusion Yohji Yamamoto All Black Camo “, the fourth collaboration since their collaboration in 2020. Transcending the boundaries of mere watchmaking and fashion, this new collaboration represents the legacy of Hublot and Yohji Yamamoto, who have continued to question the essence of luxury and build on their legacy through a shared approach of deconstruction.
Hublot pioneered the all-black concept in 2006, demonstrating that light transcends color and is shaped by volume and texture. Yohji Yamamoto, on the other hand, has a history of leading the anti-fashion statement by liberating fashion from conventional decorum with his revolutionary collection using black at Paris Fashion Week in 1981. Hublot expresses black in three dimensions through materials that play with shadows, such as matte ceramic and smoked sapphire crystal. Yohji Yamamoto gives black a rich expression by layering different materials such as wool, silk, and cotton. For both brands, black is the essence itself, interpreted as both visible and invisible.
The common beliefs behind the collaborationCEO talks about the definition of black and his view of luxury
Hublot CEO Julien Tornare says of the collaboration. For Yohji Yamamoto, black is a color that accentuates the essence of the watch, and allows the sharpened silhouette and texture of the watch to speak for itself. For Hublot, black is a living material that, when folded over into a finished shape, creates light and different expressions on each side. In this collaboration for ‘ Classic Fusion, ‘ we share the belief that luxury is not about shining, but about enduring.”
What details are noteworthy about the collaborative watches?The all-black watch changes the expression of the dial depending on the angle of the light
In the Classic Fusion Yohji Yamamoto All Black Camo, camouflage is reinterpreted with Yohji Yamamoto’s phrase “Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. The relief is expressed in black-on-black through an exploration of movement and materials, and dynamically changes its expression depending on the angle of light. The microblasted matte-black 42mm ceramic case absorbs light and accentuates shadows, while the monochrome camouflage pattern adds a sense of pulse. The caseback features a smoked sapphire crystal that reveals the Hublot automatic caliber HUB1110 and its skeletonized rotor. The strap is a combination of black fabric and black rubber. The black-finished stainless steel folding buckle is both practical and luxurious.
This model, which combines Yohji Yamamoto’s couture sensibility and Hublot’s technical precision in a single belt, is limited to 300 pieces worldwide. This special model is packaged in a special all-black box engraved with Yohji Yamamoto’s signature logo.
