Ekaterina Istomina about “Russian” Hublot watches at Formula 1 in Sochi

The Hublot brand, which was revived by the charismatic watchmaker and industrial revolutionary Jean-Claude Biver, is the sponsor of the outstanding “red stable” Ferrari, a team that is preparing to compete on the new “royal race” circuit in Sochi. In the Hublot line, there is a special noteworthy watch series dedicated to the Ferrari team, and an additional bonus is the limited edition Ferrari's 10th Anniversary In Russia collection. This is a line of iconic watches from the Big Bang Hublot series, created specifically for the anniversary of the presence of great cars from the Italian automobile village of Modena on the Russian market.

The Big Bang Ferrari Russie Hublot watch is a very remarkable example of modern sports watch design. The watch's case is made from the popular black ceramic and measures a respectable 45.5mm in diameter (a white version was also released in July this year). The bezel of the Big Bang Ferrari Russie Hublot watch is made of durable carbon fiber, painted in a symbolic red color - let us remind you that red has historically been the key color for the Ferrari automobile house. The technical “core” of the watch under study is the classic Hublot Unico caliber: this is a very high-quality caliber of a fast chronograph, consisting of 330 parts and having an excellent frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (in addition, the power reserve of the Big Bang Ferrari Russie Hublot is 72 hours). Another symbol of the automobile house is the red rearing stallion located at the 9 o'clock position.

The Big Bang Ferrari Russie Hublot, of course, represents a canonical example of a true postmodern fusion watch style and is quite likely loved by admirers of both the watch and automobile brands precisely for the aforementioned exemplaryness. On the one hand, this is a sports watch that has already become a classic—one can hardly call the Big Bang Ferrari Russie Hublot a model in the least bit experimental. On the other hand, the Big Bang Ferrari Russie Hublot is an example of watch design in the current 21st century. Several points point to this correct statement. This includes a sharply “falling” architectural dial and a large, weighty, powerful and noticeable case size. This is the brightest black and red color scheme of the entire product offered - that is, the palette chosen is both sporty and glamorous. This is that unique daring automotive spirit, that furious and automotive roar, that angry roar of Formula 1 cars, which the modest, reverent Swiss watchmakers managed to so famously capture in their nets. In fact: the Big Bang Ferrari Russie Hublot (as well as the rest of the line of Ferrari Hublot car watches not associated with Russia, which was created after the conclusion of a contract between “motorists” and watchmakers) are high-precision watches of a high-precision car. And the best way to check this is to visit the Ferrari pit stop at the Formula Grand Prix in Sochi from October 10 to 12.
