It is just like Ferrari to one-up someone. Hublot’s connection with Ferrari continues with vigor into 2013 with the introduction of the intensely engineered Masterpiece MP-05 LaFerrari watch. With 50 days (days!) Of power reserve this timepiece is record setting, and it also has a tourbillon escapement. There haven’t been a lot of watches at the Hublot Masterpiece collection: these watches which represent the very best level of in-house made mechanical miracle at the manufacturer. The LaFerrari is one of them however. Hublot’s take on luxury sometimes takes the form of gold and diamonds, but much of the time is about functionality, mechanical intrigue, and modern design. The MP-05 is one of those.Visually talking, the MP-05 LaFerrari is an extension of the Hublot La Cle Du Temps (hands on there). Those both share a slick, tapering black case using semi-organic layout in addition to horizontally mounted tourbillons that glance on the lower portion of this case. The MP-05 LaFerrari goes much farther to integrate design DNA in the 2013 LaFerrari automobile (in which the title is made from). The watch and the automobile are purposeful in their appearance, but are also given smooth lines. Much of the dial is available, with a remarkably shaped sapphire crystal and view into a lot of the Hublot made quality HUB9005.H1.6 manually wound movement.Hublot claims that the new movement comprises more parts than any other movement they have produced in the past. That is 637 parts in only the watch movement itself. Functionally, the motion offers the time and power reserve indicator, together with a tourbillon. A lot of the complexity is obviously in the design, but also to permit the very long power book. That much electricity is created by 11 mainspring barrels which are all coupled together. Imagine the time that it takes to finish it. Interesting that synthetic rubies appear to be used as frictionless rollers over the barrels as they slowly move to decrease wear.

There haven’t been a lot of watches in the Hublot Masterpiece collection: these watches which represent the top level of in-house produced mechanical miracle in the brand. The LaFerrari is among these however. Hublot’s take on luxury occasionally takes the form of gold and diamonds, but much of the time is all about functionality, mechanical intrigue, and contemporary design. The MP-05 is one of those.Visually talking, the MP-05 LaFerrari is an extension of this Hublot La Cle Du Temps (hands on the market). Those both discuss a sleek, tapering black situation using semi-organic design in addition to finely mounted tourbillons that glance on the lower portion of this case.

Last year, Hublot announced its partnership with Chelsea Football Club from the English Premier League. Along with that announcement, they also unveiled the Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Chelsea FC watch, which was the first watch made in collaboration with Chelsea and also the official watch of the club. Now, a year later, Hublot and Chelsea have teamed up again for another watch, and here it is, the Hublot Big Bang Chelsea FC.
Football (or soccer, if you’re American) is one of the world’s most popular and watched sports. As a result, football has become an important marketing device for Hublot. Besides Chelsea, Hublot also has strong ties with two other major European clubs – Juventus of Italy and Benfica of Portugal. Hublot was also the official timekeeper of the 2014 World Cup and will be the official timekeeper of the 2018 World Cup, which will take place next year in Russia.
It is just like Ferrari to one-up someone. Hublot’s relationship with Ferrari proceeds with vigor into 2013 with the debut of the intensely engineered Masterpiece MP-05 LaFerrari watch. With 50 days (days!) Of power book this timepiece is record setting, and it also has a tourbillon escapement. There have not been a good deal of watches at the Hublot Masterpiece collection: those watches which represent the very best level of in-house produced mechanical miracle at the brand. The LaFerrari is among them however. Hublot’s take on luxury sometimes takes the kind of gold and diamonds, but much of the time is all about performance, mechanical intrigue, and modern design. Those both share a sleek, tapering black situation with semi-organic layout as well as finely mounted tourbillons that peek out on the lower part of the circumstance. The MP-05 LaFerrari goes considerably further to integrate design DNA from the 2013 LaFerrari car (where the title is made from). The Hublot Mp 05 Laferrari First Copy Price Replica and the automobile are purposeful in their appearance, but are also given smooth lines. A lot of the dial is open, with a remarkably shaped sapphire crystal and watch into much of those Hublot made caliber HUB9005.H1.6 manually wound movement.Hublot asserts that the new movement contains more components than any other motion they have produced in the past. That’s 637 components in only the watch movement itself. Functionally, the motion offers the time and power reserve indicator, along with a tourbillon. Much of the complexity is obviously in the design, but also to permit the very long power book. That much power is created by 11 mainspring barrels which are all coupled together.

The new Hublot Big Bang Chelsea FC is based on the popular 44mm Big Bang and features a generous splash of blue, the official color of Chelsea Football Club. It features a 44mm satin-finished stainless steel case and a bright blue bezel made out of carbon fiber and Texalium. The bezel is held in place by Hublot’s distinct H-shaped screws, which are made out of polished titanium. The crowns and chronograph pushers are all stainless steel and feature black rubber inserts. Lastly, the watch is water resistant to 100m and comes with a rubber-lined blue alligator strap with white stitching.
Like the bezel, the dial is a bright sunray blue but is satin-finished. At 3 o’clock you have the 30-minute counter for the chronograph, and at 12 o’clock you have the 12-hour counter for the chronograph. The subsidiary seconds dial is at 9 o’clock and it features the engraving “SW6” – the postal code where Chelsea’s stadium, Stamford Bridge, is located.
On what is the 12 o’clock position on almost any traditional timepiece, the Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari features a wrench fitting that’s used to wind the watch –under you may find more detailed info on the best way to wind the watch and how to set the time. On top of that region, the case includes a black Ferrari ‘Cavallino Rampante’. Its curves and multi-layer construction are finished with a perfect fully polished transparent look.Perhaps the most intriguing part of the Hublot LaFerrari is the way one informs time and exactly what the fully skeletonized dial –actually the back of the motion– is really about.Fitted using a suspended vertical tourbillon at what would be the 6 o’clock position, the Hublot LaFerrari suggests the hours and minutes via two engraved clear sapphire crystal cylinders with white numerals and red accents displaying the hours and minutes in increments of five on the right side of the dial. If we look at the graphic below, the watch shows that the time is 10:00. Additionally, there is a power reserve indicator also included of two engraved clear sapphire crystal cylinders with white numerals and red accents located on the left side of the dial. Taking a look at the image below, the power book reads approximately 38 days. The Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari Sapphire can be completely wound to extend a power reserve of at least 50 times –1200 hours. Last, the Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari Sapphire is fitted using a suspended vertical tourbillon. The seconds are signaled thanks to some black indicator ring that rotates along with the vertical tourbillon carriage and that is located right below the ‘Hublot’ inscription on the dial side.
When we first saw the watch, we believed we’d seen a sculpture of a engine of some sort. Well, this isn’t surprising, as this is what the layout of this MP-05 was originated from. It had that mechanical and futuristic appearance that would place the center of geeks on flame. It was so unusual, therefore deviant, but magnificent nonetheless. We were honestly blown away with its own aesthetics. However, this Hublot Mp-02 Key Of Time Watch Replica Replica is not just merely an art piece. The mechanics behind the watch is simply brilliant, to say the least.While the watch is aesthetically immense, the majority of its magic actually comes in the motion itself. Here, we’ve got an in-house designed motion which featured a shocking 637 components. That, by the way, is also the first time Hublot created a motion with such a huge quantity of components.And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. What is more intriguing is that the energy reserve of this watch. With the use of eleven barrels that intertwine and arranged together in a lineup, it’s managed to achieve a power reserve of 50 days. Yes, you’ve heard that right. 50 days. Hublot was able to achieve this feat by shifting the energy from 1 barrel to another. This will help to encourage the eleven barrels at the motion, and letting the watch to sustain a longer power book. This really is brilliant, to say the least.The incredible watch also offers a suspended vertical tourbillon, which can be proudly displayed via the window at the 6 o’clock position of this watch. Time is exhibited through the drums that are exhibited in the upper left and side of this watch. The two drums on the right features the hour and minute display, whereas the 2 drums on the signals the power reserve and the second screen. The numerals and indices in each drums will also be coated with SuperLuminova to enhance legibility in the dark. That is a neat bit, and it gives the watch a mysterious and avant-garde feel once it glows in the dearth of both luminosity.
Another nod to the club is the Chelsea lion in gold at 12 o’clock. The applied hour markers are rhodium-plated and filled with white luminescent material. Likewise, the rhodium-plated hour and minute hands are also filled with white luminescent material to aid legibility in dimly-lit environments. Completing the dial is a date window at 4:30.
A new slice for 2016, the Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari Sapphire dresses Hublot’s Ferrari engine-inspired motion in an all-sapphire case. Many years back, Richard Mille was a “pioneer” in sapphire, releasing a timepiece produced by one “monolithic” piece of this super-hard crystal. In comparison to those timepieces, this highly impressive Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari Sapphire reference 905. JX.0001. Though, when looking at mega-watches, the LaFerrari has ever been something near the top of many people’s lists for its character, sophistication, and general presence on the wrist. With a largely all-sapphire crystal instance, the Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari Sapphire includes a visually grand design that is hard to pass up when you’re on the market for models at this level.The narrative of the LaFerrari goes back to prior to its official release in 2013, when aBlogtoWatch initially went hands with Hublot’s 50-day power reserve timepiece. If you are wondering, the link to Ferrari is that Hublot is their official high-end watch making partner. The complicated movement inside the watch has components from a run of exotic watch jobs produced by Mathias Buttet, who came to Hublot after running BNB Concept.If you remember, the movement not only has a vertically mounted tourbillon (since it needs to be, provided the original notion of the tourbillon) but also a very long series of 11 coupled barrels that offer the in-house-made Hublot caliber HUB9005.H1.PN.1 motion the full 50 days of power reserve. It takes so much time and torque to wind the movement that every Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari watch comes with an electronic drill! Without the drill and distinctive setting tool, you can not even manually end or set the opinion (to my understanding). So no traditional crowns of any sort exist within this horological device.
In an era where the electronic age is overly defined by time, Hublot seeks to redefine time based on its own parameters. The “Key of Time” watch is allegedly the “first watch to indicate your time how you need it.” While the wearer will not be in a position to actually alter time itself, The Hublot MP-02 “Crucial Of Time” enables the wearer to adjust time via the use of a dial that sets the speed at that time will flow. A little more conceptual in its own design philosophy, the MP-02 “Key of Time” provides time-measuring modulations in three distinct settings:Position 1 — If you want to savour every passing moment you can slow down the rate of the watch hands with a factor of 4, whereas 1 standard hour is represented as quarter of an hour on the MP-02 Crucial of Time screen — perhaps most appropriate in circumstances where you’re spending time with your loved ones/ or just having some “alone” time to enjoy the better things in life.Position 2 — If you want “real” time, then you can select normal hand rate, to retain the “benchmark” time configurations, whereas one conventional hour equates to one hour on the MP-02 Key of Time — but where’s the fun at that?Position 3 — If you need time to pass quicker you can quicken the hands speed, multiplying time by four, whereby a conventional quarter of one hour will be represented as just one hour on the MP-02 Key of Time screen — a useful diversion when you are secretly hoping for the minutes to fly when you are stuck in boring board-room meetings or having to await your partner to finish her shopping/ manicure etc..
The movement within is the caliber HUB4100, which is actually based on an ETA 2894 or Sellita equivalent and fitted with a chronograph module. Obviously, an in-house Hublot Unico movement would have been preferred and would have made the watch more desirable, but the HUB4100 is a reliable combination and it does help keep the price down, if only a little. The caliber HUB4100 beats at 4Hz and has a power reserve of 42 hours. The movement is visible through the watch’s sapphire display caseback on which a logo of the crest of the club is printed.
Like last year’s Classic Fusion Chronograph Chelsea FC watch, this new Big Bang Chelsea FC Hublot Watches Mp 02 Price Replica was designed specifically for Chelsea fanatics. Compared to last year’s model, this new watch comes in a shade of blue that I think is more accurate and faithful to the home colors of the club. The Hublot Big Bang Chelsea FC watch is limited to 200 pieces and is priced at £13,000 (currently around $17,000). hublot.com
