It's fair to say that Hublot is mostly known for their iconic range of Big Bang timepieces.And that's completely understandable, as the Big Bang is the brainchild of the Swiss watchmaking doyen, Jean-Claude Biver.Furthermore, the timepiece itself is credited with saving Hublot from an uncertain future when it was first released in 2005.However, for those looking for something that is perhaps a little more left field from the disruptive Swiss marque, Hublot's range of Classic Fusion timepieces represent a compelling blend of svelte sophistication and signature innovative design.Here are three of our favourites:Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Orlinski Green Ceramic?Representing one of the latest creations born from the ongoing collaborative works of Hublot and French artist and sculptor Richard Orlinski, the Aerofusion Chronograph Orlinski Green Ceramic is striking to say the least. It's a watch that permeates Hublot's expertise in material innovation, and the angular 45mm solid green ceramic case offers a truly unique proposition for buyers looking for a watch that pushes the boundaries of form and function. $24,800Hublot Classic Fusion Ferrari GT TitaniumWhat we love about Hublot's newly released Classic Fusion Ferrari GT Titanium is that, for once, Ferrari has done something more than just slap their iconic prancing horse on the dial of a watch, called it a job well done and headed to the bar for a Negroni. No, the same people that normally make the Italian marque's famed supercars have jointly designed this Classic Fusion Ferrari GT, in the fabled carmaker's newest design studio in Maranello, Centro Stile. $28,400Hublot Classic Fusion Titanium Purple Diamonds Bracelet?A lesser-known fact about Hublot's Classic Fusion range is that a good portion of the collection is made up of ladies watches. This Classic Fusion Titanium Purple Diamonds Bracelet is elegant, and the satin-finished purple sunray dial, replete with 11 hand-set diamonds, is truly beautiful. And because its case and bracelet construction is made of titanium, the timepiece is entirely wearable, and not overly weighty or cumbersome. $17,100
