Hublot introduces a new masterpiece to its distinguished Classic Fusion collection: the Classic Fusion Chronograph Boutique Lucerne, a timepiece inspired by Lucerne’s treasured Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge). This watch, exclusive to Hublot Boutiques in Switzerland, captures the essence of Lucerne’s cultural legacy, celebrating one of Switzerland’s most cherished historical landmarks through a fusion of artistry and Swiss heritage.

The Chapel Bridge, dating back to the 14th century, is the oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe and an everlasting landmark of Lucerne’s rich history. Known for its unique triangular paintings and wooden architecture, the bridge has long inspired stories of love and resilience and represents the city’s cultural and artistic heritage. Holding a special place in Swiss hearts, it became a poignant symbol of loss and rebirth after the devastating fire of August 1993. With this timepiece, launching on Valentine’s Day, Hublot shows its love to Lucerne, aiming to celebrate the bridge’s timeless beauty and the deep emotional connection it evokes – capturing moments in time, much like the Chapel Bridge captures hearts.

The Classic Fusion Chronograph Boutique Lucerne’s dial features a captivating wood marquetry motif, carefully inlaid on a carbon plate to echo the intricate wooden structure within the Chapel Bridge. Remarkably, the wood for this marquetry is sourced directly from the burned wood of the bridge itself, each piece carrying a true piece of Lucerne’s cultural fabric.
