Hublot F1 King Power Great Britain Ref. 703.OM.6912.HR.FMC12

HUBLOT celebrates the 2012 FORMULA 1 SANTANDER BRITISH GRAND PRIX in Silverstone and unveils the F1™ King Power Great Britain

Great Britain. Home of Formula 1™, its management and most of its teams. As the Official Watchmaker of Formula 1™, Hublot is proud to present the new F1™ King Power Great Britain, available in a limited edition of 250 numbered pieces. This F1™ King Power Great Britain is rendered unique by several features executed in a range of high-tech materials directly inspired by Formula 1™, such as the carbon fiber and ceramic bezel with a circular-grained satin finish, adorned with multiple holes evoking a high performance brake disc, as well as the push-buttons for starting and resetting, and a 30-minute to 3-hour counter. The strap is made from black alligator horn back stitched onto black rubber, with red stitching. Fusion of the materials, the case is made of 18K King Gold. King Gold is the name of the 18 carat gold alloy used by Hublot. Its exclusive color is even redder than the traditional 5N red gold. To do so, the Hublot metallurgists increased the percentage of copper and added platinum order to stabilize the colour over the years and to neutralize the oxidation. The exact composition of this alloy is classified.

Hublot: the exclusive story of Fusion: Hublot's reputation dates back three decades: during this era, it was the first prestigious Swiss watch brand to fuse precious metals with natural rubber. It sparked a genuine revolution in material innovation and aesthetics. In 2004, Jean-Claude Biver – one of the few people to have genuinely made their mark on Swiss watchmaking – gave Hublot a great new boost and revolutionised watchmaking with the creation of the "Big Bang". This multiple award-winning chronograph, with its contemporary and distinguished design, marked the start of the brand's spectacular success. Today, Hublot continues to write the story of the Art of Fusion by combining unusual materials – ceramic, carbon, tantalum, tungsten, titanium and rubber – with more conventional ones – gold, platinum, steel, diamonds and precious stones. And despite its new hi-tech watchmaking manufacture near Geneva and its impressive growth, the brand remains true to Swiss tradition, yet enriched with the visionary creativity of the 21st Century.
