Two Sides, Same Coin
August Man SG|Issue 189
It's so easy for snobs to tar Hublot with a brush, yet before these cynics stands an exemplar of the know-how the Nyon brand can muster and an appealing yet non-prohibitive wrist sculpture that white-collar professionals can actually afford

Two Sides, Same Coin

FIRST GAINING RECOGNITION for his "Born Wild" series (featuring stylised versions of wild animals like panthers, wolves and bears), Richard Orlinski is a contemporary French artist known for his work that incorporates materials such as resin, aluminium and stainless steel characterised by bright colours, sharp angles and bold forms, which combine to create a dynamic and captivating aesthetic.

Orlinski is a member of the Hublot Loves Art family in the same way as Shepard Fairey, Maxime Plescia-Büchi, Marc Ferrero and Takashi Murakami. When Hublot unveiled the first watch sculpted in Miami in December 2017, the Classic Fusion was rendered in the angular style typical of the French artist's work with its chamfered forms playing with the reflections of its mirror-polished facets inspired by Orlinski's iconic sculptures.
