Hublot was founded in 1980 by Carlo Crocco. He designed the MDM watch as a luxury timepiece on a rubber strap, an idea that has become commonplace. In 2004, Jean Claude Biver took over the brand and released the Big Bang, a watch that was known for its large size, unique materials and sandwich construction. This 2020 release is the Classic Fusion. Using the case shape of the original MDM, combined with the styling of the Big Bang, this model really is a successful fusion of new and old and would be a Hublot to collect. The present example is an Aerofusion, with an elegant skeletonized dial.

Dial is in mint condition. Case is excellent with some minor scratches to the bezel and crystal. Movement is running at time of cataloging. Overall, the present example is in excellent condition.


Any reference to condition in a condition report will not include a full description of condition, and for example, may not specify all faults, alteration, adaptation, mechanical replacements or imperfections to the movement, case, or dial. Colors and shades may look different online or in printed materials than they look on physical inspection, and images may not clearly show the condition of a lot. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot in person and make their own evaluation of the lot. They must understand that any statement made by Fortuna Auction LLC ("Fortuna") is merely a subjective, qualified statement and does not constitute a representation, warranty, or assumption of liability by Fortuna. All dimensions in catalog descriptions are approximate. No warranties are made that watches in water-resistant cases are currently water-resistant. Fortuna does not guarantee the authenticity of any individual component parts, such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets or leather bands, since subsequent repairs and restoration work may have resulted in the replacement of original parts.



Pre-owned watches, unless still in original packaging or never worn, will likely have some degree of wear and scratches. This should be expected for many of the watches offered in auction. Even if a watch is running and keeping time, bidders and buyers should expect that all movements will require maintenance. Fortuna recommends that all successful buyers promptly take their watches to a professional watchmaker for evaluation.



Prospective buyers should also refer to any notices as well as the Conditions of Sale in Fortuna's print catalogs and made available on its website, digital bidding platform, and other third-party digital bidding platforms.
