Hublot F1 King Power Chronograph

Hublot and Formula 1 have announced their partnership with Hublot becoming the official watchmaker for Formula 1.
The start of the multi-year deal for Hublot will be marked with the brand-new F1 King model watch, a limited edition of the company’s King Power model.
Maintaining the popular large case sizing which has become synonymous with Hublot, the F1 King comes in a matte black aesthetic with ceramic case and subtle nods to F1 set against the background of the watch’s face.
The Hublot F1 King will be released in a limited run of 500 watches with each watch numbered between 01/500 to 500/500.

“I have long had a keen interest in watches and the art of watchmaking and I am very pleased to be announcing this deal today,” FOM head Bernie Ecclestone said in Bahrain on Saturday.
“Hublot’s meteoric rise in the industry has been a very well managed achievement and I would like to congratulate Jean-Claude for this.”
“I have always had great admiration for the exceptional and unique achievements of Bernie Ecclestone,” added Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of Hublot.
“Without him there would be no Formula 1 – he created this global phenomenon.
It’s such a delight to be here with Hublot today and so close to Bernie, the racing, the drivers, the cars, the high technology and the F1 Grand Prix in general. This is the start of a very special relationship.”

CELEBRITY HUBLOT SIGHTINGS.......

What makes Hublot watches famous?

Its quite simple, thats it!  Simplicity is what Hublot went for, precision, high quality, elegant and sporty can be summed up into the word simple.  Simplicity guided Carlo Crocco’s vision for movement, but a ship’s pothole guided his thoughts around design.  Twelve tiny titanium screws secure the lunette to the case, and mark the hours, in a meeting of form and function. All Hublot watches look similar in a sense, which makes them very unique like Panerai, which holds true to their crown protector design.

In the mid 90’s Carlo Crocco decided to pursue rubber and make it a true passion as he was creating a very unique rubber band for his very unique Hublot watches. That same band that revolutionized the watch industry and helped bring the world of watches to a halt and start paying attention to Hublot as a serious contender in the game.

What about that rubber?

3 years of research created a rubber bracelet that not only adapts to your wrist but regenerates upon contact with your skin. The adaptation of the bracelet to the wrist it is being worn on creates a feeling of lightness and comfort, while the regeneration keeps the bracelet looking new at all times.

Who wears Hublot watches?

Royalty and celebrities started wearing Hublot watches and of course as to anything else celebrities do, the world does too if they can afford to. Carlo Crocco has risked much going after the high end market first but as to every other entrepreneur will tell you, you must stay true to your vision, no matter how crazy others believe you to be. This risk proved him right as his timepieces are considered some of the world’s best and being that he remains one of the few independent family owned watch makers, he can retain his unique mono-product line similar to Panerai.

So now you know what Hublot watches are and why we love them, you also know that when you see a Hublot watch, then respect must be given to the owner in the sense of wealth, as the Hublot watches are too complex for a good replica and are usually not imitated as they are not generic like Rolex.

'' ROLLING WIT' THE MONEY TEAM ''

After his win against Victor Ortiz Saturday night, boxing champion Floyd Mayweather decided to gift 50 Cent with a Hublot watch that can cost up to $20,000. A small trinket to someone who made a reported $20 million from this match alone. The rapper then shared a photo of his latest acquisition over Twitter saying, "Look what my boy @FloydMayweather got for me. Cool its called king power SK."

The two are good friends and 50 Cent even accompanied Mayweather onto the ring for the match, which ended after only four rounds due to a controversial move that knocked Ortiz out while unprotected.
