Ferrari Booth Visit with Hublot at Salon de l'Auto

A few days ago, I was invited by Hublot for a visit of a Ferrari booth. Even if I'm not a cars connoisseur, I was a bit excited to be able to see the latest novelties from one of the most prestigious brands. After all, even if I'm not interested in cars, Ferrari has the little something (which can be called magic?) to attract me a lot!

I propose you a report of my visit by browsing the pictures.

In front of the main entrance:

I was happy to be able to wear this Hublot Ferrari Titanium during my visit:

The 5 cars of the current collection were presented like the F12 Berlinetta below:

The California:

Back of the F12 Berlinetta:

If you buy a GT car, you should have the appropriate luggages!

...Well, actually, the right luggages which fit the boot of the car!

An overview of the booth:

The V8 engine:

The Hublot Ferrari in its right environment!

The 458 Spider:

I didn't even think about entering such car!

The harmony of colours:

Nice details:

A gathering of Hublot!

My fav car of the show was without any doubt the FF. I don't know why but I was very seduced by its unusual design!

But I think that the main reason of my love for this car is its ability to welcome 4 persons! Usually, driving a superlative car is the very selfish pleasure. Thanks to this car, you can share your passion.

A polyvalent car... yes but above all a true ferrari with strong performances thanks to its V12 engine:

The 458 Italia:

The V8 engine:

Let's have a closer look on the Hublot Ferrari Titanium version. The Magic Gold version was also displayed in the booth but it was not possible to open the showcase:

The big assets of this watch are its dial and the use of the Unico movement. The case design is also a good indicator of what will be the future evolution of the Big Bang cases.

The watch features a very clever strap fastening system which allows to easy change the strap:

Due to the light, the screws seem to be red! A Ferrari inspiration? But they are not...

The winding rotor inspired by the wheels:

A closer shoot to appreciate the details of the dial. You will notice that the Ferrari horse is quite discreet. It is very nicely made by the way.

Legibility of the data is very decent.

My only small regret is the colour of the date window. I find this yellow a bit too aggressive when compared with the colours atmosphere of the watch:

Thanks to the Unico movement and the shape of the pushers, the use of the chronograph is rather smooth:

The wristshot:

Frankly speaking, this Hublot Ferrari gives the proof that Hublot is progressing well and is improving the perceived quality of its watches. In that case, the dial details are pretty convincing.

Inside the booth:

Back on stage with the cars!

The Ferrari FF and its powerful design:

The little details that count:

The California:

The most complicated steering wheel I've ever seen:

Of course, I couldn't miss the opportunity to have such kind of picture! Next time, I will fasten my seat belt!

Even the ladies can wear the Hublot Ferrari!

Laurent Picciotto, owner of Chronopassion, was wearing his Hublot LE created for his  boutique:

And... it was time to leave this dreamland and to take the subway back home!

It was a wonderful event and I appreciated it a lot. From my side, I don't have very often opportunities to be in close contact with these awesome cars. So I really enjoyed each second spent inside the booth!

I would like to thank a lot the Hublot team for the warm welcome and for the invitation and of course, Ken, our Hublot moderator.
