Crazy for Koons: A Look at the New Hublot Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons
Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons Blue
Hublot and Jeff Koons transform the iconic Balloon Dog into a radically sculptural timepiece. The 42mm Classic Fusion Balloon Dog Blue reimagines traditional watch architecture through inflated geometries, domed surfaces and convex lines, creating the illusion of a watch shaped by air pressure. Crafted in polished blue anodized aluminium, it features a balloon-inspired crown, blue rubber dog-tail detail, puffy dial and a Balloon Dog seconds-hand counterweight.
Inside, the self-winding HUB1710 manufacture movement delivers a 50-hour power reserve, while the sculptural design extends across every detail, from the inflated case and dial to the metallic blue leather and rubber strap. Limited to 200 pieces, the Blue edition brings together contemporary art, technical mastery and Hublot’s Art of Fusion.
