Black, Perfected - Hublot x Yohji Yamamoto Return With an All-Black Masterpiece

January 7, 2026 | Nyon, Switzerland

When two visionaries who have reshaped their worlds speak the same design language, the result is never decorative - it is definitive. Swiss watchmaker Hublot and avant-garde fashion icon Yohji Yamamoto reunite for the fourth time to present the Classic Fusion Yohji Yamamoto All Black Camo - a radical expression of restraint, released in a strictly limited edition of just 300 pieces worldwide.

The Art of Black, Reduced to Its Essence

This collaboration is not about colour - it is about philosophy. Black, for both creators, is not absence but presence. Not minimalism for its own sake, but a disciplined pursuit of truth through form, texture, and shadow.

Hublot and Yohji Yamamoto share a belief that luxury is defined not by ornamentation, but by intention. Where others add, they subtract - until only what matters remains.

Sculpted in Ceramic, Alive With Light

The 42mm case is crafted in matte black ceramic - a material that absorbs light while revealing depth through volume. The silhouette is precise, architectural, and deliberately quiet - allowing form to do the talking.

At its heart lies a black-on-black camouflage dial, reinterpreted through Yohji Yamamoto's unmistakable visual language. Far from military bravado, the camo becomes abstract - appearing and disappearing with movement, its relief revealed only when light grazes the surface.

A Dialogue of Materials

The strap becomes a tactile statement in itself - fabric fused with rubber, echoing Yamamoto's layered couture philosophy while delivering Hublot's technical precision and comfort. Even the presentation is intentional - the designer's signature is subtly integrated into each of the 300 bespoke All Black boxes.

Deconstruction as a Shared Language

Hublot revolutionised Swiss watchmaking in 1980 with its Art of Fusion, daring to unite gold with rubber and innovation with heritage. Yohji Yamamoto reshaped fashion in much the same way - challenging excess, rejecting convention, and using black as a radical anti-fashion statement.

"For Yohji Yamamoto, black reveals what truly matters - it purifies form, letting silhouette and texture speak. At Hublot, we treat black as a living material, sculpted and layered. This project marks our first Classic Fusion collaboration together, and we share the belief that luxury is not what shines, but what endures,"

Julien Tornare, CEO, Hublot

As Yohji Yamamoto himself once said: "Black is modest and arrogant at the same time."

Availability

The Classic Fusion Yohji Yamamoto All Black Camo is available at select Hublot boutiques worldwide and online. With only 300 pieces produced, this is not merely a watch - it is a collector's statement in restraint.
