Around this time last year, Hublot shocked us with a watch that, frankly, we never saw coming. It was called the Classic Fusion Extra-Thin Skeleton, and yes, the most surprising replica watches part of it was that it, unlike the rest of the Hublot collection, it was actually quite thin! (BTW, Hublot just announced the same watch in Ceramic this week) Still, the watch was a little too large for us at 45mm, but just this week in Geneva, we saw the Fusion Extra-Thin Skeleton show up in a more wearable 42mm.
This is probably our pick of the litter from Hublot as it stands right now – it’s a wearable 42mm with a nice thin case, and the Hublot caliber fairly interesting to look at. It is also relatively affordable (we’re told it should be in the mid teens). It will come in both titanium and precious metals, and a bracelet is available – which is a nice touch.
Still, everything about it – from the architecture to the movement finishing doesn’t hold a candle to our favorite modern skeletons replica watches like the AP Royal Oak Openworked 15305, Piaget Altiplano Skeleton, or this year’s Harry Winston Midnight Skeleton. That said, this Hublot is significantly less expensive than all three. So, while it may not be the nicest skeleton on the market, it’s great to fake Hublot see Hublot trending in the direction of more refined, compelling watches.
