Often, the use of diamonds is done in a pretty ho-hum way, typically a row around the bezel which serves to add some flash. Now, I know stones on watches aren’t to everyone’s taste, and I understand why. Seemingly random, alternating facets have been pavé set (giving the watch its name), with the diamond-free titanium surfaces polished to a high, mirror-like shine. The fully set bezel certainly provides a very pretty frame for the skeletonised dial, but for me it’s the rocks on the case that stand out. The total weight of the stones is around 2 carats. There are 156 diamonds, set in two rows on the bezel, and a further 156 set into the case. This titanium-cased Alternative Pavé version of the Orlinski takes the faceted concept to the next level by adding 312 finely faceted diamonds into the mix. At the heart of this, Orlinski’s appeal is the facets, which allows the typically blocky case of the Classic Fusion to play with light and shade in intriguing ways. The bold, geometric look manages to be both in keeping with Hublot’s design ethos, while looking on-trend. To my mind, the watches coming out of Hublot’s partnership with contemporary artist Richard Orlinski have been some of the brand’s most striking.
