On March 26th at the Betsey South Beach Hotel, Arturo Fuente and Hublot joined together in celebration of The “Hublot King Power Arturo Fuente” timepiece. The limited-edition watch marked the cigar maker’s 100th anniversary and paid tribute to the Opus X, the most coveted and rarest cigar in the world.
It’s a blessing, more than a gift to have our iconic image of Chateau de La Fuente with my father and I, is something that will stay in history
Carlos Fuente Jr, president of Arturo Fuente Cigars, came in from the Dominican Republic for the special event. The watch is available in both gold and a black ceramic style and retail value ranges from $24,000 – $44,700. Inspired by tobacco and the Earth, the design is a fusion of old world elements with a new and modern feel. The watch band is tobacco leaf like and the iconic Fuente Fuente Opus X is featured on the 6 o’clock. Engraved into the watch’s case back is an image of Carlos Fuente Sr. and his son Carlos Fuente Jr. dated 1912-2012 commemorating the cigar maker’s centennial.
The Hublot King Power Arturo Fuente is about the power of time. Time is something that, just like a great cigar, time is one of those elements in life that is perhaps the most precious, you can’t grab it you can’t hold on to it.
Mr Fuente
The purchase of each watch comes presented in a Macassar ebony and carbon humidifier box with 25 Opus X cigars.
