Swiss luxury watchmaker Hublot, known for its continued passion for unusual arts, has joined its forces with street artists Hush and Tristan Eaton for the launch of a special art timepiece concept dubbed “Fame vs. Fortune.” Each of the artists created a special image that represents either Fame or Fortune. Hush represents Fame, symbolizing the West Coast sensibility, while Eaton represents Fortune embodying the spirit of East Coast.
Artist Hush said, “The image I created for Hublot has a multitude of ideas which represent 'Fame, individuality and strength to the iconic personality' as well as placing itself in time through my contemporary street art influenced aesthetic. I took inspiration from Hollywood icons and tried to celebrate that through the strong posing image of a woman’s portrait.”
Artist Tristan Eaton added, “It is exciting for me as an artist to have the opportunity once again to partner with Hublot and collaborate on another timepiece with the brand. For my watch, I incorporated bronze to symbolize the famous Charging Bull, originally a guerilla art piece that now sits in the heart of the Financial District in NYC and serves as a symbol of financial success and the unbounding spirit of the American people.”
Hush designed the Spirit of Big Bang West Coast Ceramic Black and White, a timepiece inspired by Hollywood icons. The case-back features a black and white woman’s portrait set against a multi-colored collage of mixed media. The watch face reveals a skeletonized dial framed by a white ceramic bezel. The watch is powered by the self-winding chronograph movement HUB4700, which beats at a rate of 36'000 vibrations per hour, providing around 50 hours of power reserve.
Hush’s Spirit of Big Bang West Coast Ceramic Black and White, reference, 641.CI.0112.VR.EWC17, is available in a special limited edition of 50 pieces worldwide. The watch measures 42 mm in width, and is water resistant to 100 meters. Available on a Black rubber and multicolor calf strap with stitching, Hush’s timepiece comes with a price tag of $27,200 USD.
Tristan Eaton’s piece, the Classic Fusion Bronze represents East Coast’s Fortune. The back of the case reveals the Charging Bull sculpture, symbolizing New York City’s Financial District, money sign, and Wall Street sign. The generously sized case and the bezel are made from brushed bronze, while the gradient mat brown dial features brushed bronze and polished gold-plated appliques. The watch is powered by the self-winding chronograph movement caliber Hublot HUB1143, beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and providing about 42 hours of power reserve.
Tristan Eaton’s Classic Fusion Chronograph East Coast Bronze, reference 521.BZ.6680.VR.EWC17, is available in a special numbered edition of 50 exemplars.
