Hublot Big Bang Chrono Tourbillon Ferrari Watch

Hublot Big Bang Chrono Tourbillon Ferrari Watch   hublot

It's here. This is the first Ferrari branded Hublot timepiece to come out of the two brand's joint partnership. Unveiled in China, the watch called the Hublot Big Bang Chrono Tourbillon Ferrari is meant to celebrate the quizzically celebration-worthy 20th anniversary of the first Ferrari car sold in China. I don't even think the dealerships there knew about that.

Limited to just 20 pieces the watch (ref. 308.QX.1110.HR.SCF11) will be offered in a 44mm wide all carbon fiber case with red tinted sapphire crystal. See the Ferrari logo as part of the chronograph subdial. The movement is the Hublot caliber 6300 column-wheel chronograph with tourbillon and power reserve. You can see the full tech specs below. Hublot considers this as a bit of a preview for a larger Ferrari watch collection from the brand that will debut at Baselworld 2012.

So from the comments, it seems I'm not the only one asking "WTF?".

I have friends that own Ferrari's and as far as I know, they stay well away from Ferrari merchandised products, especially those that would be considered 'luxury' items. Trust me, (baring crass exceptions) the guy that owns one of these wonderful machines doesn't need or wishes to wear a timepiece that screams 'I have a Ferrari'.

I'm surprised Ferrari has joined forces with Hublot, especially after the poor sales of the Panerai pieces, but I'm not surprised to see this abomination as it's much in the line of what Hublot is spewing out lately. Also, China and Ferrari have never sat well with me, but that's a another matter.

Is there some unwritten law that all Ferrari branded watches be uglier than a bucket of dix?

Looks like the fake version of the real thing, like something from one of those replica watch stores on Kuta Beach in Bali.

The issue is really the photographer they hire - who likely uses the wrong type of lens to shooting watches up close. That and the fact that it has been handled with tons of smudges on it. I think that if they did some better hands-on photographs it would look better.

Looks unfinished...like a franken-watch. Carbon fiber on leather with unreadable black hands and markers...SOLD!

Meh. I'm not in China, nor do I own a Ferrari, so this does not appeal to me, nor should it. Love that hornback strap though.
