Quality and attention to detail are fundamental principles in both watchmaking and fine leather goods; so it is no surprise that a timepiece containing large helpings of the best both industries have to offer is absolutely exquisite.

Leather is a standard material in watchmaking, but Hublot wanted to go beyond the traditional approach and work with the most emblematic leather there is which is Italian brand Berluti’s iconic Venezia. The result of a collaboration between the two legendary labels
The case, made from satin-finished and polished titanium, is 45mm, which gives enough room for the leather dial to showcase its unique qualities.

NOTE:
Berluti is a show brand. They believe “you cannot be elegant if you are not comfortable and well shod.” Founded in 1895 and helmed by Mr Kris Van Assche, the house began with bespoke footwear but today offers accessories and ready-to-wear that mix classic craftsmanship with contemporary sensibility
A scion of the Italian Binda Group dynasty, best known for making Breil watches, Carlo Crocco left the company in 1976 to strike out on his own and create a new watch company. Moving to Switzerland he formed MDM Geneve and set about designing a watch that he named the Hublot after the French word for “porthole”
