The old adage of a picture being worth a thousand words most of the time is tired and overused. but sometimes it’s just the fact. this is one of those cases. of course, my 500 odd words of information and opinion are great and all (pats self on back), but they pale in comparison to the stunning crispness of the photos. peter has done a significant job of capturing this mercurial piece. replica hublot should likely get some of the credit too, for creating such a downright perfect watch.  
we are wondering if you see watches on a regular basis, it’s easy to get caught up in the cycle of ever escalating novelties that defines the industry, because we always remember that, for all the talk of savoir faire and timelessness, this is an industry. don’t get me wrong, i love seeing what creativity and innovation can be packed in a 45mm case, but it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that a watch doesn’t need to have a brand new in house movement, multiple tourbillons laid out in the shape of a swan or a dial crafted from the tears of a fallen angel to be a nice, attracting object.
let’s take hublot’s classic fusion racing grey as an example. the new grey dial is just the only thing that’s new about this collection, offered in titanium and king gold. on the scale of things it’s a subtle and smart tweak warmer than black and less bold than blue, however, the result is one heck of a photogenic watch.
all the factors work. the harmony is between the brushed and polished gold case elements and the contrast is between the cool grey and the warm gold. the perfect radial brushing of the satin dial finish, the mirror crispness of the applied hour markers and hands, the rich tones of the printed dial text. it all works well and it all works together.
this is also a remarkably versatile watch. if you’ve ever disregarded replica hublot because of their bold sports persona, i strongly advise you to take another look at the classic fusion range, and this one in particular. of course, this is a solid gold 45mm watch, so there’s no mistaking the statement it makes, but don’t forget there are smaller sizes and titanium versions too.
from what we have mentioned above, this is an absolutely amazing replica watch. this fake hublot is very good at working with materials, and letting those materials stand out and speak for themselves. and while watches with texalium or berluti leather speak in strident tones that demand attention, the grey and gold at play here don’t demand your attention as much as deserve it.
