Hublot Classic Fusion Yacht Club de Monaco Limited Edition

Posted on by

This year, on the Rock of Monaco, Hublot is taking part in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Admiral Tuiga, alongside the Yacht Club de Monaco, its long standing partner and friend. This also provides an opportunity for the watchmaker to present a new limited series watch dedicated to the legendary sailing ship, in the presence of HRH Prince Albert II of Monaco. It is in the 9th Monaco Classic Week that the festivities in honour of Tuiga are organised.

Hublot, official timekeeper of the Yacht Club de Monaco, is celebrating not only the sea and the superb traditional sailing ships, but has insisted on creating a new model in the colours of the prestigious Yacht Club: a watch bearing the name Tuiga, on which the dates 1909 and 2009 are engraved. Indeed, this sailing ship, a “15 Metre class” was built by W. Fife in 1909 and restored in 1993. It is the emblem of the Yacht Club de Monaco, still proud and magnificent today on its 100th anniversary.

In the spirit of respect for tradition while being at the cutting edge of technology, Hublot has created a pink gold, ceramic and carbon watch, with a rubber strap. The Classic Fusion model, with its sporty chic design, and personalised by the flags of the Yacht Club at 9 o’clock and the name Tuiga at 6 o’clock, is eagerly anticipated by yachting and fine watch lovers.

Hublot is also taking part in all the events of the Classic Week, and rewarding those achieving distinction in various categories, such as the Personality of the Sea (for outstanding action in the field of marine and environmental protection), the Belle Classe Owner(for best yacht restoration respecting maritime heritage), and the various winners of the Classic Week competitions.
