After launching its Big Bang Ferrari Beverly Hills, Hublot and Ferrari have come together to unveil another Big Bang Ferrari limited edition timepiece that will be reflective of the Lion city, Singapore. The launch is yet another milestone to the Hublot-Ferrari partnership that have brought masterpieces like the Hublot Big Bang Ferrari Magic Gold and the Hublot Big Bang Chorno Tourbillion Ferrari. The Big Bang Ferrari Singapore limited edition timepieces will be designed in truly Singaporean nuances while its design, materials and mechanics capture the DNA of Hublot and Ferrari in innovation, performance, technology and exclusivity. The new timepieces will come in a shade of distinctive red – paying homage to the country and Ferrari’s national color- with a red sapphire crystal glass housed in a black ceramic case, red hours, minute indexes on the dial and a red-on-black rubber and Schedoni leather strap with red stitching. Each timepiece will come with two interchangeable straps, in red or black Schedoni leather stitched onto black rubber, with an innovative quick-change system inspired by the safety seatbelt mechanism. The tone on tone stitching is a nod to the signature upholstery craftsmanship typical of Ferrari. With just 50 numbered timepieces to be produced, the case back of the watch will also feature the legendary Prancing Horse. The timepiece is also set in a 45.5mm black ceramic case and boasts of a cylindrical bezel that dramatically showcases its UNICO movement, comparable to the best possible engine to power a racing car, which was chosen, designed and developed by Hublot to power the Big Bang Ferrari series. With no fewer than 330 components, the column wheel and dual horizontal coupling appear on the dial and deliver a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. It also offers 72 hours of power reserve and water resistance to 100 meters. This watch will be unveiled at The Hour Glass’s first pop-up store held at Paragon’s main atrium – Super Machines and Horological Heroes – to celebrate the complex artistry of horological craftsmanship from September 18. This exhibition will be held in conjunction with the 2013 Formula One Singtel Singapore Grand Prix, the world’s first Formula One’ night race on Marina Bay Street circuit. Hublot Big Bang Ferrari Singapore edition will only be available at luxury watch retailer The Hour Glass. [Via - Hublot
