Hublot on Hollywood’s awards-night stage

The 32nd Annual Actor Awards at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles provided a high-profile setting for Hublot’s contemporary watchmaking. The luxury Swiss watchmaker dressed selected talents on the red carpet, bringing its Art of Fusion from the manufacture to an evening that celebrated performances across film and television.

Among the guests, Arnas Fedaravičius and Matthew Rhys stood out for their work on screen and for the Hublot timepieces on their wrists. Each watch presented a different facet of the brand’s aesthetic, connecting Swiss horological heritage with a modern style that resonates with a global, image-conscious audience.

Arnas Fedaravičius, known for his role in the HBO anthology series The White Lotus, opted for the Hublot Classic Fusion Titanium 42mm. Its clean profile suited his awards-night look and underlined the Classic Fusion collection’s emphasis on comfort, everyday versatility and discreet presence on the wrist.

Matthew Rhys, nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series for his role in the Netflix series The Beast in Me, wore the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang King Gold 42mm. With its tonneau-shaped case and Hublot’s King Gold alloy, the Spirit of Big Bang translates the Big Bang’s signature design into a powerful, modern form that feels natural under the spotlight of an international awards ceremony.

The evolution of the Art of Fusion

Hublot’s presence at the awards builds on a story that began in 1980, when the brand challenged convention by pairing a gold case with a rubber strap. Named after the porthole-inspired bezel with its visible screws, Hublot emerged with a clear identity and the Art of Fusion philosophy that still guides the manufacture.

This philosophy advanced in 2005 with the launch of the Big Bang. Its layered construction, assertive size and recognisable design language helped redefine both the brand and the wider industry, earning the Best Design award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève that same year. Since then, the Big Bang has continued to evolve, while Classic Fusion and Exceptional Timepieces explore parallel expressions of the same fusion-driven thinking.

From manufacture to global stages

Across its collections, fusion informs the in-house Unico, Meca-10 and tourbillon movements that anchor Hublot’s watchmaking at a technical level. Beyond La Manufacture, the brand’s energy extends to football pitches through partnerships with events such as the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Euro, and also reaches concerts, basketball, contemporary art and gastronomy through collaborations with recognised personalities.

These shared experiences, and the global community of Hublotistas that surrounds them, give concrete expression to the Hublot way of life. They place the brand on some of the world’s most visible cultural stages, from stadiums to red carpets, where watches like the Classic Fusion Titanium 42mm and Spirit of Big Bang King Gold 42mm are seen in motion rather than simply in display cases.

Why it matters

By dressing Arnas Fedaravičius and Matthew Rhys at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards, Hublot shows how its Art of Fusion moves smoothly from manufacture to global entertainment stages. The pairing of Classic Fusion Titanium and Spirit of Big Bang King Gold with acclaimed performances reinforces the brand’s position at the intersection of contemporary watchmaking, cinema and culture. For collectors and enthusiasts, it underlines that Hublot’s icons are created for both daily wear and the spotlight.
