Thanks for the write-up, Patrick!
I'm sure this must be the 1st time I've ever posted on the Hublot forum...but there's a reason for it. Today I went into the Geneva Hublot boutique (also a 1st for me), and after looking around, the only 2 watches I wanted to try on where the 2 mentioned here : the Ferrari one and the skeleton extra (well, more or less, anyway! ;-) thin.
Those hinged pusher buttons had me sold from the 1st touch. I have no clue if they are the first to use the idea, but it seems very well applied here, the pusher action is great! I tried a proto of the Ti version, and I'd really like this watch if it wasn't badged Ferrari. And that thin skeleton is also quite nice (in rose gold, anyway)...
I have never been a big Hublot fan, but now I'm getting genuinely worried...
Hublot Big Bang Ferrari
We have many PuristSPro members with a passion for automobiles, and Ferrari seems to be one of the favorites among all automobile lovers throughout the world. Many members already know that Hublot has recently become the horology partner with Ferrari. Mos...
Thanks for the report Patrick. Love the design of the Hublot Ferrari Big Bang!
Very attractive watch and the wide strap looks awesome!! Cheers, Anthony
It's truly a great watch that goes exceptionally well with the car...
The strap is also exceptionally comfortable, even for those with smaller wrists, like myself. Thanks for viewing.
Thanks Patrick!
Your analysis of its similarity to the car Ferrari is spot on. Hublot made the watch with Ferrari car in mind and your astute observation revealed it well. Thanks Patrick! I enjoyed reading the post and like the watch very much. Best, Ken
Now I want the car, just so I can have an excuse to wear the watch!
Sometimes I really wonder if they just planted part of the Hublot factory at Ferrari's factory in Maranello and produced the watch next to the car. Thank you Ken for the kind words!
Thanks for the report..
the paddle shifters is a cool design feature...looks a lot better in the metal than on PR photos.. Hope all is well!
It is a cool design feature...
Really appreciated the crown and the paddle shifter chrono pushers a lot. I thought that was very clever. All is okay, just wondering what's for dinner tomorrow.
Thanks a lot for the comprehensive review Patrick!
They managed to create a seducing watch... which may attract both Hublot and Ferrari fans. Fx
It was a seductive piece for sure...
I found it to be very seductive (but I'm biased because I'm a watch lover), and so did many others at the Ferrari events. And especially for Ferrari owners, it's a nice remembrance of your car when it's parked down below. Probably one of the most seductiv...
I love this report.
You did a terrific job analyzing the relationship between the two brands and the watch and car. I do see this as an opportunity for Hublot to leave this watch as a standalone LE. It is an awesome creation and a very unique and different looking Big Bang. ...
Both of us are hoping for the same...
We are both hoping for the same thing. I think that Hublot will keep the Ferrari watches interesting. I doubt they'll just be changing the colors, as alternating between red and yellow (standard Ferrari racing colors) would not be sufficient to keep the p...
Wow.
Having collected hublot in the past, I've been shying away from the brand for a number of years. Inut I went into the boutique today to look at the hublot extra thin skeleton and I was blown away. Very reasonably priced and quite attractive. But I was rea...
Indeed, the skeleton extra thin is a piece of value...
The extra thin skeleton is a great value! Thanks for mentioning the Extra Thin, it was a piece that I have been thinking about lately.

Thanks for trying it out!
Thanks for taking the time and trying it out! We limit ourselves based on our own perceptions, and when those corporations/individuals change for the better, we've already written them off and we don't take the time to see the transformation for the bette...
