Hublot have partnered with pop art sculptor Jeff Koons to turn his iconic balloon dog designs into a limited edition watch release.
Koons, who primarily makes balloon dogs sculpted from stainless steel, has twice broken the world record for a sale by a living artist with Balloon Dog (Orange) selling for $58 million in 2013 and his Rabbit piece fetching $91 million on the auction block in 2019.
It is the latest collaboration between Hublot and a designer following recent hook-ups with Samuel Ross and Takashi Murakami and the good news is, the watch will be a lot more affordable than the sculpture.
There are two pieces in the collection: the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons and the MP‑14 Origin by Jeff Koons Sapphire Titanium.
The Classic Fusion Balloon Dog refashions Koons’ most famous design onto Hublot’s sporty design, creating something totally unique. Apart from the strap, the whole watch has been crafted out of convex, which has been “puffed” up using 5-axis CNC milling.
The watch is also awash with Koons-style flourishes such as a small balloon dog on the seconds hand and a rubber dog tail on the dial.
The watch is being presented in three colours – mirror-polished stainless steel, red anodized aluminum, and blue anodized aluminum – with only 200 available of each, and they will be available at retail for $25,100.

The MP-14 Origin is a far more extreme and luxurious design with a 44mm octagonal case featuring 202 baguette diamonds and blue sapphires around a central large orb. Inspired by Koons’ Gazing Ball, timepiece features Hublot’s first automatic central tourbillon and eschews standard hands and markers. Instead, the watch utilises floating red and grey cubes to signal the time.
The MP-14 Origin is being released in incredibly strict numbers with only 30 being made available to the public with the watch retailing for $488,000.
To celebrate the launch of the watches, Hublot hosted an event in New York attended by numerous friends of the brand including Pamela Anderson and Tinashe as well as rappers Future and Gunna.
Hublot’s collaboration with fashion designer Samuel Ross from earlier this year also caused a stir as they remixed the brand’s iconic Big Bang design to create the Big Bang Unico SR_A.
Limited to just 200 pieces, the watch saw Ross put his industrial spin on the classic model as the Big Bang was transformed into a monochrome beast. Made out of ceramic, the watch is then satin-brushed before titanium screws are inserted into the bezel while the black skeleton dial exposes the movement. Also visible is the calendar disk while the Arabic numerals of the original have been replaced with round black markers, while the hands have rounded tips.
