THE SARTORIALIST

Hublot’s second collaboration with eyewear brand Italia Independent fuses Italian tailoring with Swiss watchmaking. The Classic Fusion Chronograph Italia Independent collection features archived tartans that Italia Independent founder Lapo Elkann dug up from the stash of his family’s de facto tailor, Rubinacci. While the concept and techniques behind these watches are nothing new (remember Hublot’s Big Bang Jeans?), the finesse and sprezzatura that Rubinacci brings to the table make this collection perfect for the modern watch-loving dandy.
