Hublot’s first collection set with natural Qatari pearls
Hublot and Qatar partners Al-Majed Jewellery have always strived to be different and unique, while sharing values such as excellence, incomparable quality and integrity. In that context and building on the success of Classic Fusion Qatar Special Editions of previous years, the watchmaker and its Qatari partners have joined their expertise to achieve a first for both: the Classic Fusion Pearls 38mm, a watch collection set with the finest natural pearls from Qatar.

I’m happy to announce Hublot’s first-ever Classic Fusion featuring natural pearls, coming from the capital Doha to the world, through our partners Al-Majed Jewellery with whom we share a passion for watchmaking and a modern vision of timekeeping. These new exclusive watches are yet another way of connecting the past to the future, in a fusion of tradition and innovation. By using Qatari natural pearls, we bring the country’s heritage to modern times.”
David Tedeschi
Regional Director for Hublot Latin America & Caribbean and Middle East & Africa
We are extremely honored and proud to represent our ancestors’ legacy by introducing the new Classic Fusion Pearls watches, designed and produced with our partner Hublot. For the very first time, Hublot is presenting our handpicked natural pearls, which are carefully selected by hand by my brother Mohammed with the utmost attention and care, thus ensuring that each watch is unique. This special edition reflects our nation’s rich culture and heritage and is the perfect addition to Al-Majed’s iconic collections which are highly regarded by connoisseurs and collectors.”
Jamil Mahdi Al-Majed
Vice President Al-Majed Group
A nod to tradition and innovation
The Classic Fusion Pearls 38mm are adorned with hand-picked white pearls, with two unique pieces fully set from bezel to dial, in white or yellow pearls. As Qatari pearls are considered among the most precious natural pearls in the world, Hublot and Al-Majed Jewellery also conceived the special editions as an ode to the country’s deeply rooted pearl-diving heritage. The strongly anticipated timepieces, featuring burgundy straps inspired by Qatar’s flag color or navy blue reflecting its vast blue seas, constitute a collector’s edition that will be passed from one generation to the next.
HUBLOT
Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is defined by its innovative concept, which began with the highly original combination of gold and rubber. This “Art of Fusion” stems from the imagination of its visionary Chairman, Jean-Claude Biver, and has been driven forward by CEO Ricardo Guadalupe since 2012.
The release of the iconic, multi-award-winning Big Bang in 2005 paved the way for new flagship collections (Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang), with complications ranging from the simple to the highly sophisticated, establishing the extraordinary DNA of the Swiss watchmaking house and ensuring its impressive growth.
Keen to preserve its traditional and cutting-edge expertise, and guided by its philosophy to “Be First, Different and Unique”, the Swiss watchmaker is consistently ahead of the curve, through its innovations in materials (scratch-resistant Magic Gold, ceramics in vibrant colours, sapphire), and the creation of Manufacture movements (Unico, Meca-10, Tourbillon).
HUBLOT is fully committed to creating a Haute Horlogerie brand with a visionary future: a future which is fused with the key events and brands of our times (FIFA World CupTM, UEFA Champions League, UEFA EUROTM and Ferrari) and the finest ambassadors our era has to offer (Kylian Mbappé, Usain Bolt, Pelé).
