Hublot and Jeff Koons Turn a Balloon Dog Into a Luxury Watch
New York – September 18, 2026 -- Hublot has unveiled the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons, a limited-edition watch collaboration inspired by the artist's iconic mirrored balloon sculptures. The 42mm timepiece comes in three editions -- mirror-polished stainless steel, red anodized aluminum, and blue anodized aluminum -- with each edition capped at 200 pieces.
The watch reworks the traditionally flat, sleek Classic Fusion case into a design that mimics inflated volume, as though shaped by air pressure. Domed sapphire crystal, rounded titanium screw heads, a convex 'puffy' dial, and a padded metallic leather strap all contribute to the illusion of an inflatable object rendered in metal.
