Girard-Perregaux disappointed. Panerai fared only slightly better. And now Hublot becomes the third (or did I miss?) high-end watch brand to try its hand with Official Ferrari-themed watches. Live from Guangzhou, China, Hublot unveiled the first genuine Ferrari-Stamped Hublot watch – a pure collectors’ item of just 20 pieces. This watch was expected given Hublot’s recent announcement of its global partnership with Ferrari, but rest assured that it is only a teaser — we can expect one if not multiple Hublot-Ferrari watches to be unveiled next March at Baselworld 2012 (I’ll be bringing You the first looks, of course).
As far as this piece goes I like the carbon fiber case, red sapphire-tint crystal, and the hornback crock strap with red stiching. However, I will definitely expect much more than this in March 2012 and beyond. After all, there is really nothing new in terms of design or functionality from Hublot (not even the red-tinted sapphire crystal — it debuted in the Big Bang Monza). My bet (and hope) is that the Hublot-Ferrari pieces will evolve off of Hublot’s F1 watch series (see ‘em all here), which are quite impressive and distinct. Stay tuned…
