I stumbled upon a beautiful "Black and Shiny" trio at the Hublot boutique the other day - must share with you

Classic Fusion Tourbillon - Night Out - 45mm

505.CS.1270.VR

Number of parts: 155

Number of jewels: 19

Power Reserve 120 hours

Diamond as index

Black tourbillon bridge

Everything is shiny....

A bit unique back side.

Not bad, really

Even the strap IS Shiny

Now, the entry #2 is Classic Fusion Classico Ultra Thin - Night Out 45mm

Again, everything is shiny.

And, of course diamonds are index.

Polished ceramic case.

... and the strap is shiny....

The back side is basically same as other Ultra-Thin series.

Hmnn.. All black - maybe I prefer this to the tourbillon version...?

Side by side.

Both are nice....

Close of with shiny effect

Now, a bit different family, but entry #3 is:

Big Bang Shiny 41mm - apparently for ladies.

All Black Shiny - 341.CX.1210.VR.1100

Slightly greyish subdials make legibility much better.

Not a bad size for my wrist, but strap is a bit short

So, which one of you would fit your taste?

Thank you, Hublot Ginza Boutique as always!

Best,

Ken

Key Points from the Discussion

The shiny strap on the Classic Fusion Tourbillon is considered excessive for everyday wear, making it more suitable for special occasions or a beach setting.
Both black and shiny Hublot watches are appreciated for their unusually thin profiles, a departure from the brand's typically chunky designs. The time-only model is easier to appreciate, while the tourbillon offers a subtle presence for specialized collectors.
The Classic Fusion models, particularly the time-only version, would appeal to more men if the indices were not diamonds, suggesting a unisex appeal for women who prefer diamond indices.
The combination of all-black and shiny elements with too much 'blingy' metal on the dial, even with a tourbillon, is considered too loud for some tastes.

The black & shinny concept works better with the simple watch IMHO...

Thanks for your pics! Fx

The Black and Shiny effects look pretty nice!

Agree with Fx it looks nicer on the simple watch. If the indices are not diamond, I think more men will like it too (it is quite a nice unisex watch I think) whereas women may prefer the diamond indices :) Cheers Robin

Black & shiny, non tourbillon looks better

All black and shiny doesn't go well with too much blingy metal on the dial, even though a tourbillon is something very nice to have, IMO. Not sure I'll wear any of these though....a little loud for my taste. Richard

I think the tourbillon is stunning...

However for me it would have to be on a matt strap as the shiny one is just too much. Its not an everyday watch, maybe just special evenings or for the beach ;) You are really getting the good stuff in Ken, not much new floating around these parts! Cheers Andrew

Surprisingly thin Hublot watches

I like both the mens' black and shiny Hublot watches as their are unusually thin from my preconceptions of chunky Hublot. The time-only watch is "easier" to appreciate but the tourbillon model has subtle presence for the specialised collector. Regards MTF
