Hublot and Jeff Koons collaboration

Overview

Swiss luxury watchmaker Hublot has expanded its partnership with contemporary artist Jeff Koons through the unveiling of two distinct limited-edition collections: the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog and the MP-14 Origin.

The Classic Fusion Balloon Dog collection draws inspiration from Koons’s inflatable sculptures, featuring a voluminous architecture with domed sapphire crystals and a crown designed to resemble a balloon knot. Available in mirror-polished stainless steel, red anodized aluminum, or blue anodized aluminum, each version is limited to 200 pieces and powered by the HUB1710 automatic movement.

The MP-14 Origin, part of the Exceptional Timepieces collection, is a more technical release limited to 30 pieces. Utilizing sapphire, titanium, and gem-set white gold, the model serves as Hublot’s first automatic central tourbillon. The name MP-14 honors the street number of the New Museum in New York, where Koons held his first solo exhibition in 1980.

CEO Julien Tornare characterized the collaboration as an “extraordinary exercise in engineering and craftsmanship,” continuing the brand’s strategic effort to merge high-end horology with contemporary art as it approaches its 50th anniversary in 2030.
