Hublot and Jeff Koons have launched two collaborative limited-edition watches.
The Classic Fusion Balloon Dog comes in three versions, each limited to 200 pieces.
The MP-14 Origin introduces Hublot's first automatic central tourbillon and is limited to 30 pieces.
The Swiss watchmaker has teamed up with Jeff Koons on two limited-edition creations, spanning the playful Classic Fusion Balloon Dog and the technically ambitious MP-14 Origin.
Hublot has a history of taking watchmaking into unexpected territory, and its latest collaboration reaches firmly into the art world. The Swiss manufacture has joined forces with American artist Jeff Koons to unveil two striking timepieces: the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons and the MP-14 Origin by Jeff Koons.
Revealed in New York on 16 September 2026, the partnership connects two names that have built their reputations on transformation. Koons is known for turning familiar objects into monumental works of contemporary art, while Hublot has long experimented with unconventional materials, construction and design. The collaboration approaches those ideas from two very different directions.
From Balloon Dog to wristwatch
The more playful of the two launches is the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons, inspired by the artist’s instantly recognisable Balloon Dog sculptures from his Celebration series.
Rather than simply adding Koons’ artwork to an existing model, Hublot has redesigned the 42mm Classic Fusion around the inflated appearance of the sculpture. Rounded surfaces, domed components and curved lines give the watch an air-filled quality, extending from its sapphire crystal and dial to its crown and strap.
“Translating Balloon Dog into the language of the Classic Fusion required far more than fusing an artwork with an existing watch. The challenge was to fundamentally reinterpret the architecture of the Classic Fusion through the visual and sculptural language of inflatable forms. Traditionally defined by its sleek and relatively flat profile, the Classic Fusion was entirely re-engineered to create the illusion of inflated volume and tension, as though each component had been shaped by air pressure,” stated Jeff Koons.
Playful references continue throughout the design. The crown resembles a balloon inflation valve, while a flexible tail detail appears at 10:30. The seconds hand incorporates a Balloon Dog-shaped counterweight, and Koons’ signature appears on the dial.
Three versions are available: stainless steel, red anodised aluminium and blue anodised aluminium. Each edition is limited to 200 pieces and houses Hublot’s HUB1710 self-winding movement, offering a 50-hour power reserve. The watches are priced at USD 25,100.
Hublot heads into the cosmos
The second creation moves from pop art into something considerably more complex. Limited to just 30 pieces, the MP-14 Origin by Jeff Koons joins Hublot’s Exceptional Timepieces collection and introduces the manufacture’s first automatic central tourbillon.
Its concept is based on the beginning of the universe, with the movement positioned as the first pulse from which the rest of the design appears to expand.
“The MP-14 Origin by Jeff Koons is a horological interpretation of creation itself: the moment where energy becomes form and form becomes time. It is more than measuring time, it’s about returning to its source. Motion is generative. A central tourbillon becomes the first pulse and everything else unfolds around it like a controlled expansion. It’s the idea of a Big Bang translated through engineered motion, material tension, and the physics of light,” said Jeff Koons.
Housed inside a 44mm octagonal case crafted from sapphire and titanium, the watch requires approximately 534 hours of machining. Concentric white gold rings are set with baguette-cut diamonds and blue sapphires, creating an orbital appearance around a sapphire dome inspired by Koons’ Gazing Ball works.
Two suspended rings indicate the hours and minutes using floating cubes, while 202 stones weighing approximately 2.6 carats appear across the four-ring architecture. At its heart is Hublot’s HUB9014 movement, comprising 594 components and delivering a 60-hour power reserve. The integrated sapphire bracelet continues the transparent construction onto the wrist.
Priced at USD 488,000, the MP-14 sits at the opposite end of the collaboration from the accessible visual humour of Balloon Dog. Together, however, the watches demonstrate how Koons’ ideas around reflection, scale and transformation can translate into mechanical form.
