Hublot’s collaboration with design maven Italia Independent continues with the Hublot Classic Fusion line, and this time the watches have been kitted out in vintage fabrics a la Sartoria Rubinacci.
More than 60,000sqm of houndstooth, tweeds and other classical weaves fill Rubinacci’s Milan, London and Naples stores. Amid the plethora, Hublot and Italia Independent chanced upon a collection of tartans from the 1970s that would stir the senses of any hot-blooded sartorialist.
Six fabrics were chosen by third-generation master tailor, Luca Rubinacci, based on the suits typically favoured by Italia Independent co-founder, Lapo Elkann, himself a veritable style icon par excellence.
The textiles grace the dials and straps of the watches, which Luca professes, looks “better than I could have hoped for”.
