Hublot Classic Fusion Tourbillon Chronograph All Black 45mm

For me, Classic Fusion has been always a favorite among the Hublot line-up.  Simple looking, thin (relatively speaking), and many variation, not only color or material, but also the simplicity to complexity - the series has huge potential to appeal to the vast variety of the Hublot fans.

Obviously, the weak point is its legibility.  But those who buy "All Black" of any Hublot series DO know that already before buying, so it should not be really a "minus" point for the owners.  In fact, black case, black inside is quite handsome and cool.  These watches do make me realize that watch is fashion, no longer the time-telling only machine today

Base plate, or base bones/ beams are prominent in the structure - like the building structural mechanics.

The balance of the two sub dials and tourbillon size is quite nice.  If those sub dials were moonphase and power reserve, this "machine" would have been a "must have".

That said, the more you look at the dial, the better the balance of those three circles look - that's for sure.  Well done.

But, as you can see from this angle, two sub dials get buried in the dial color, meaning, it gets very hard to see or even find, or tell what is written on the dial.......  But like I said, it shouldn't be a problem for the owners.

From this angle, you see the structure of inside much better.  Again, very well made.

With enough light, you can tell the difference between the time-telling hands and the dial color.  But even under enough light, the chronograph second hand, minute counter is very hard to see.  I know, I know.  If you couldn't see the chronograph hand, watch the video again.  It's on 2 o'clock of the dial

Also, the pusher feel is not as SMOOTH as the Big Bang Unico.  May need a bit of power on your finger.

Okay, so, how does it look on the wrist?  It IS REALLY cool.  The owners who choose this would take a really good at the dial and overall watch and decide to get one.  It's All Black - check, it's tourbillon - check, and it's chronograph- check.  And the balance of those three circles are really well balanced, size-wise, position-wise.

This is a cool angle, too.

Really, not that thick at all.

So, to sum up, this is really a cool watch and almost "must have" and definitely drool-worthy model.  Again, the balance of the size and position of the three circles are really, really well thought of.  But, although it may not matter, the legibility is not something this model gives you of pleasure.....
