Hublot expands its partnership with the Maranello-based Italian automobile manufacturer Ferrari by announcing a new 50-piece limited edition, the Big Bang Ferrari Beverly Hills.
Hublot, the manufacturer of Ferrari and Scuderia Ferrari “Official Watches,” adds to their family of Big Bang Ferrari watches a new edition available exclusively at the Hublot Boutique Beverly Hills.
The Big Bang Ferrari Beverly Hills sports a 45.5-mm black ceramic case with a satin-finished black ceramic bezel, blue inner bezel and sapphire dial, which dramatically showcase the automatic movement inside. The UNICO chronograph movement can be compared to the best possible engine to power a racing car. With no fewer than 330 components, oscillating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the column wheel and dual horizontal coupling on the dial side appear in a constellation reminiscent of Ferrari alloy wheel rims. The timepiece has a 72-hour power reserve, and is water-resistant to 100 meters.
The minute counter, whose hands and indices recall a Ferrari dashboard, is positioned at 3 o’clock and complemented by a date window in ‘Modena’ yellow. Ferrari’s legendary prancing horse is featured discreetly in relief at 9 o’clock.
The watch’s indexed crown is bracketed by elongated push buttons, fixed along a rotating axis like the pedals in a car. The Ferrari logo is engraved and lacquered red on the lower push button, complementing the red seconds hand and chronograph indices. The blue schedoni leather strap, backed by black rubber and stitched in Ferrari red, is a nod to the signature upholstery craftsmanship typical of Ferrari.
