Hublot Morphosis by Doettling


Safe maker Doettling paired with Hublot to create this cylindrical steel with lacquered semi-matte Hublot black panel inner tube safe for the ultimate watch collector.
Weighing around 180 kilograms the cylindrical safe sports an inner tube that turns inside of the outer shell, with two set of winders that can hold up to 42 watches.
The top end of the cabinet houses an iPad dock. The connected iPad works as the input method. Users must enter a pass code to reveal the first set of watches.
The user must then enter a second security code to access the second set of timepieces. The iPad can also control other features such as the speed of the watch rotations, the direction of the spins, and total number of spins per day.
The price runs $US204,664 for each cabinet.

Hublot King Power Unico GMT watch




Hublot introduces its year end model, called the King Power Unico GMT watch, which has plethora of time zones on its dial. 
Like most from Hublot, this watch also comes with the usual round dial ring, with smoothened but well defined edges of the overall chassis. Same is the case with the Hublot logo engraved side crown.
Available in black ceramic and 18-carat King yellow gold options, the central unit features the carved multi-layered main dial, which has 6 time-zones on the upper ring, 4 on the inner ring, and the layers beneath that. 
While 2 geometrically carved hands try to display the hour and minutes, which can be guessed only through their positioning, a ‘+’ shape carving in between point out 4 of the time zones in 24-hour format, displayed on the 4 corresponding micro-dials alongside, which have red Arabic numerals, on steel finishing surfaces.
On the inside, there is the HUB 1220 automatic GMT tourbillon movement, which has 72 hours of power reserve after every recharge. We are yet to know the detailed anatomy of the movement components, but we are sure about it being rather complicated to support the 24 different time zone functions.

Hublot Magic Gold Watch



The latest creation by Hublot, the Magic gold watch, which uses a special alloy of gold and other metals, which make the fabric completely scratch resistant. From what the scenario in the luxury watch market is, this creation makes Hublot the first in the world to use this special variety of the gold alloy.
It’s been 3 years, and now the success of creating this alloy has come across. All these years have been used to research and experiment to create this metal, and now several patents are being awaited regarding the use of this metal, as Hublot has lead this from the forefront. 
In terms of technicalities of the watch, nothing is yet known except that it will be showcased at Basel World 2012. Keeping in mind the previous creations of Hublot, one may not see new features, but will definitely see a master timepiece in this newly created gold alloy.

Hublot F1 King Power Suzuka Watch


Hublot has created the F1 King Power Suzuka version watch, which is dedicated to the upcoming Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix to be held in Japan.
This ‘Suzuka’ features several differences from the norm, and the major one is use of Zinchronium in watch’s construction. The casing, and the hour and minute hands are made of this metal and the exposed skeleton of the movement inside is also the same. The sub dials, which perhaps indicate divisions of seconds, stopwatch and power reserve use black ceramic instead.
The satin finishing for both is hopefully common. The 48 mm wide main dial has the crown for rewinding the watch’s power reserve, and also the stopwatch on the right; rewind crown near the 3 ‘o’ clock and the stopwatch at 4 ‘o’ clock position. The strapping, which uses the white-red color combo of stitching and fabric finishing, has been inspired by the Japanese flag.
At a recent event, a special version of this limited edition timepiece was auctioned off to raise funds for the Kids Earth Fund which is looking to rehabilitate children affected the 2011 tsunami in Japan. However, all the other editions for sale will have the markings from 0-250, indicating the limited edition of availability.

Dwyane Wade has teamed with Hublot to design the limited edition timepiece: “King Power “D-Wade” — a stylish offering for basketball enthusiasts’ and timepiece connoisseurs alike.

“I wanted the watch to have basketball characteristics. It’s a combination of a lifestyle and a sports watch. You can dress it up or dress it down,” Wade stated to WWD at the Hublot Madison Avenue flagship store in New York.

Hublot and Manchester United special limited edition watch


For the third time Swiss watch brand Hublot and UK Football team Manchester United come together for a special limited edition watch. The two have been in a long standing partnership, and the fruits of their efforts should appeal to more than just sports fans. This new watch however should be a particular treat for Manchester United fans. For one thing, part of the watch comes from the actual Old Trafford stadium. Look closely at the hour markers - these applied elements are a bit green in tone. They are actually made of the famous grass from the stadium. Hublot experimented with how to do this and finally came up with a process that involves freeze drying and then lacquering segments of the grass. They almost look like "sod crystals."

The 48mm wide watch is based on the King Power collection and comes in two case materials. A limited edition version of 500 pieces comes in black matte ceramic, while a 250 piece limited edition will come in 18k King gold. Don't know what King gold is? Neither do I, but it is likely some new gold alloy that Hublot will be using on its King Power timepieces. One new element to the case design is the chronograph pushers that now have a special security bar over them for style and protection.

Inside the watch is a special chronograph movement for measuring soccer game halves. It is the HUB4245 skeletonized automatic chronograph with centrally mounted chronograph hands. Plus, the chronograph measures up to 45 minutes - the length of a football game half. The dial also has a bright red Manchester United Devil mascot figure that looks great with the overall theme. Attached to the strap is a new style of rubber bracelet with fun red strip in the middle. Each of the Hublot King Power Red Devil watches will come specially signed by Manchester United's own Sir Alex Ferguson - this is probably one of the best watches ever for a soccer team.
