HUBLOT unveils Hublot King Power Juventus Turin replica Limited Edition to honour the partnership undertaken between Hublot and Juventus F.C. Eagerly anticipated in Italy by fans of the famous Vecchia Signora, it is a King Power piece made from carbon fibre, ultra-light and hyper-strong, which was chosen by the team.
In tribute to the current Champion of Italy, the famous Vecchia Signora – the “old lady”, as the club is affectionately known by the Italians – which is having a magnificent 2012-2013 season, Hublot is presenting the watch in the club’s colours, so eagerly anticipated by fans of this team with such a glorious record of success.
It is equipped with the chronograph movement with the two central chrono hands making for excellent readability, plus the famous ‘45-minute’ counter developed especially by Hublot for football fans.Last August, during their tour of China and victory against Napoli in the final of the Supercoppa Italiana in Beijing National Stadium, Juventus Turin announced their choice of Hublot as Official Timekeeper and Official Watch, to support them from the start of the following season.
The piece is a mens fake Hublot King Power model made from carbon fibre, as requested by the club management. A limited edition of 200 numbered watches, these boast a case 48 mm in diameter, and are powerful but ultra-light and extremely impact-resistant thanks to the carbon fibre components, manufactured entirely in-house by Hublot. The wearer can keep track of both hands at a glance; the first indicates the seconds, and the other hand, specially developed for football, indicates the time elapsed out of the 45 minutes in each half.The watch is equipped with the HUB4245 chronograph movement, which has the particular feature of two central chrono hands. This makes for better readability – quicker and more efficient.
In Italy, Juventus F.C. is a monument in its own right, with an imposing history. Founded in 1897, the club is the 3rd oldest in the country. In addition to having the most supporters, Juve has historically won the most national titles, and is one of the most successful and recognised teams worldwide. According to the International Federation of Football History & Statistics, a body recognised by FIFA, Juventus was the best Italian club and second best European club in the 20th Century.
With black and white of course predominating, the sapphire dial showcases the movement, here in an Aero Bang version, which has also undergone further skeleton working, opening up the piece to reveal even more of the working parts of the Swiss-made Hublot King Power copy watch and its fine mechanics.
