been made using these precious fabrics to offer this range
of 45 mm timekeepers an end result that is the epitome of
elegance. “La vera sprezzatura!”
"I chose these fabrics thinking about the costumes that we
make for Lapo Elkann. I began with the extravagant colours
of a vivid tartan with a sporty tone, then a more traditional
houndstooth—in the style of an Italian gentleman—that I
wanted in black and white, the colours of his favourite team
Juventus F.C. I didn't think that it was possible to put wool on
the straps and dial of a watch. But, Hublot managed it and the
result is better than I could have hoped for. We have achieved
a balanced watch, with a pattern effect that is neither too bold
nor too light." Luca Rubinacci
