Hublot Clock tower

Designed by CCY Architects, the Hublot Clock Tower sits at the base of Aspen Mountain and features a fully functioning Hublot timepiece at its center. Hublot’s guiding principle of craftsmanship, “The Art of Fusion,” led the design process through the amalgamation of layered elements to create a cohesive whole.

The collaboration between concept and fabrication was complex, involving the coordination of multiple components and trades.  Layers of etched acrylic panels, crystalline perforated stainless steel, LED lighting, and a large functional timepiece — all fabricated in-house — bring this unique vision to life.
