[Lifestyle 9.27] Hublot × Jeff Koons: Time, Inflated into Art

Hublot has joined forces with Jeff Koons, marrying fine watchmaking with the contemporary art world. The new Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons reinterprets the brand’s classic Classic Fusion line, drawing direct inspiration from Koons’ most iconic Balloon Dog sculpture, transforming it into wearable art and giving time a new form.

Every detail of the 42mm case incorporates Koons’ visual language: the crown is aluminum sheathed in rubber injection, shaped like a balloon’s inflation valve; at the 10:30 position sits a supple balloon-tail ornament extending the visual illusion; the seconds hand carries a bas-relief “balloon dog” counterweight, the hour markers and hands are coated with three-dimensional Super-LumiNova, and the open-worked rotor takes on a fuller, rounder form.
