Hublot and Cheval Blanc Randheli have unveiled their latest collaboration, a new Classic Fusion special edition watch.

This collaboration follows the successful launch of the 2016 Special Edition: a perfect illustration of the savoir-faire of the Swiss watch manufacture and its constant quest for new fusions between time, art and luxury.

The brand commissioned Parisian artist Vincent Beaurin, designer of the signature works of art at the Cheval Blanc Maison in the Maldives, to conceive the new creation. 

Art is held dear by both Hublot and Cheval Blanc. The works of Vincent Beaurin have graced the walls of Cheval Blanc Randheli since its opening, an expression of a true creative identity.

"The watch tells time and dilutes it in the colors of the crystal-clear waters of the Noonu Atoll," explained Vincent Beaurin.

Cheval Blanc Randheli is set in the beautiful Noonu Atoll In the northwest of the Maldives archipelago. In addition to elongated palm trees, tropical flowers, white sand banks, pristine turquoise water and fringing reefs, the atoll waters house a dazzling sampling of multicolour fish, rays and sea turtles.

According to Hublot the new watch is a timepiece tribute to the colours of the surrounding Noonu  atoll, where the oceans dark blue contrasts beautifully with the limpid turquoise of the lagoon, all a reflection of the clear blue skies above.

"Just like the blue waters surrounding Cheval Blanc Randheli, the captivating blue tones of the two new timepieces dedicated to the Maison create an appealing aura on the wrist, offering wearers a new experience with time," says Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot.

The Classic Fusion 45mm Cheval Blanc Randheli Special Edition and Classic Fusion 38mm Cheval Blanc Randheli Special Edition are only available at the Cheval Blanc Randheli Concept Store, in the dedicated Hublot area that reflects the identity of the most iconic Hublot boutiques around the world.

"This watch is an illustration of the art de vivre and creativity so characteristic of both brands. This approach reflects a tailor-made dialogue between Hublot, the artist and Randhelis unique universe. Time stops at Cheval Blanc." says Olivier Lefebvre, Head of Hotel Activities, LVMH Hotel Management
