Jeff Koons and Hublot Unveil New Watch Collaborations

Artist Jeff Koons has collaborated with watchmaker Hublot to release two new watch models: the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog and the MP-14 Origin. The watches were unveiled on September 16, 2026.

The Classic Fusion Balloon Dog draws inspiration from Koons' "Balloon Dog" sculptures. Hublot has reinterpreted its Classic Fusion model in three versions: mirror-polished stainless steel, blue anodized aluminum, and red anodized aluminum, each limited to 200 pieces. The watch's design features rounded case, bezel, dial, and indexes to mimic the inflated geometry of the balloon animal. Details include a rubber element resembling a tail, a crown shaped like an inflation valve, and a seconds hand with a miniature Balloon Dog counterweight. The HUB1710 self-winding movement has a customized oscillating weight in a similar rounded style and offers a 50-hour power reserve. The watches are water-resistant to 50 meters and feature anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

The MP-14 Origin by Jeff Koons is inspired by the creation and expansion of the cosmos. This 44 mm watch features an octagonal case made of transparent sapphire with titanium components. Inside, concentric white-gold rings set with diamonds and sapphires form orbital layers around a blue sapphire dome. Two suspended rotating rings indicate the hours and minutes. The watch houses Hublot's first automatic central tourbillon, powered by the HUB9014 movement, which offers a 60-hour power reserve. The MP-14 Origin is limited to 30 pieces.
