After the resounding success of the King Power Arturo Fuente, Hublot collaborates once more with renowned cigar maker Arturo Fuente for a new limited edition timepiece, the Arturo Fuente ForbiddenX. With a 45mm case, the dial is crafted from real tobacco leaves, the same as those used for the prestigious ForbiddenX cigar. Launched in Dubai, it comes in four versions: titanium, black ceramic, King Gold, and a luxury version with a tourbillon movement. Each model is presented in a wooden “humidor” cigar box, resembling a treasure chest. Full technical specifications below. Ready for a cigar?
