Powering the hublot watches floyd mayweather Replica Spirit of Big Bang West Coast Ceramic Black and White is the HUB4700 movement, which is a Hublot-branded and skeletonized El Primero high-beat chronograph grade (both Zenith and Hublot are owned by LVMH after all). This movement oscillates at 36,000 A/h or 5Hz, includes 278 components and 31 stones, and offers a rather generous 50 hour power reserve. Both feature white contrast stitching and a black ceramic deployant clasp. The caseback features Hush’s “Fame” art (hereafter known as Katinka Ingabogovinanana) that fills the caseback, along with the text “SPECIAL EDITION” along with also the watch serial number denoted as “XX/50. “Moving on to the “Fortune” timepiece, Tristan Eaton’s production looks much more subdued by comparison. The Hublot Classic Fusion 45mm Chronograph East Coast Bronze includes a brushed, all-bronze case with very similar styling to the Big Bang Bavaria introduced earlier this year, sans the Lederhosen strap. This is a dual-register chronograph using a 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock and running seconds at 3 o’clock, which also features Eaton’s signature as a stylized T-and-E insignia.A date aperture is observable at 6 o’clock in contrasting black with white ribbon, which stands out nicely against the brown-and-gold color plot of the dial. In 45mm by 13.05mm this is by no way a little watch, and blended with gold-plated hands and hour mark and also the gold-toned case it should stand out as a ostentatious sign of fortune.
A unique piece created for Only Watch 2013, the Hublot Red’n’Black Skeleton Tourbillon is the first wristwatch to have a red ceramic component, in this case the bezel.
The bright red ceramic bezel of the Red’n’Black Skeleton Tourbillon has the same property as its common black or white cousins, namely scratch resistance. Red is a thematic colour for Only Watch – the Patek Philippe ref. 5004T is similarly coloured – being the state colour of the Monegasque flag.
Bezel aside, the rest of the watch is mostly a standard Hublot Skeleton Tourbillon. The 45 mm case is in black ceramic, while the movement is an in-house open-worked tourbillon calibre with five day power reserve.
Two addition details reflect the red theme: around the aperture for the tourbillon is a red anodised aluminium ring, echoing the red bezel. And most obviously the strap has red stitching.
This Hublot, along with the rest of the Only Watch 2013 timepieces, will be sold on 28 September 2013 in Monaco, with all proceeds going to the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy. Details of the sale can be found on the Only Watch site.
