Presented in timeless blue, these three limited editions are made from Hublot ceramic, and are inspired by three legendary party destinations where the watch brand sails in for the summer with its pop-up boutiques.
Big Bang Unico St-Tropez Boutique
The turquoise blue seas and sky of this seaside citadel are reflected in a limited edition of 30 Big Bang Unico St-Tropez Boutique timepieces, each of which echos the colours of Tahiti and Pampelonne beach.
Set between the Place des Lices and the Port de St-Tropez since 2017, the Hublot boutique is just a short hop from the iconic ochre and sienna bell tower which overlooks the port and dominates the skyline, and the silhouette of which is featured on the sapphire of the watch’s case back.
You can let your days turn into nights to the beat of the UNICO V2 manufacture movement at Verde Beach for a full, uninterrupted 72 hours. The calibre HUB1280 boasts a slimmer design, restyled architecture, easier assembly and improved visibility and functionality, while the ceramic bezel, the lined rubber strap, the indices, numerals and hands are all turquoise blue, contrasting with the microblasted black ceramic case.
Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Ceramic Blue Ibiza Boutique
With its pop-up boutique open throughout the summer, Hublot celebrates the bohemian festive spirit of Ibiza with a limited edition of 50 Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Ceramic Blue Ibiza Boutiques in colours which echo the island’s white walls and the deep blue of the horizon from Cala Conta, the contrasting shades underneath the boats moored at Cala Saladeta and the seabed at Cala Xarraca. The Hublot boutique has been throwing down its anchor at the White Island’s Port Esportiu Marina since 2019.

To celebrate summer, and its Ibiza boutique, Hublot applies its favourite material – coloured ceramic – to a magnetic blue chronograph. At 45 mm in diameter, and with a deep blue ceramic bezel and case, HUB1155 self-winding chronograph movement and a power reserve of 42 hours, this piece is awash with the island’s vibrant blues, from its deep seas to its night skies. Its blue alligator strap is set off by white stitching and a white stripe, in contrast to the titanium adorning the crown, pushers and H-shaped screws.
Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Ceramic Capri Boutique
The magic of the turquoise waters of Capri’s Grotta Azzurra and the contrast with the dark grey of the grotto have inspired a limited edition of 50 Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Ceramic Capri Boutique timepieces, which evoke the fascination with the island’s unique sea cave. Looking out onto the waters of the bay of Capri and its iconic Faraglioni, Hublot set up its boutique at the heart of the island’s most prestigious street in 2016.
