Ferrari celebrates 60 Years in the USA in Los Angeles
11 October 2014 (Los Angeles, Cal.) – This week-end is the perfect occasion to introduce the Hublot Big Bang “Ferrari Limited Edition 60th anniversary in North America” as Ferrari celebrates its 60th anniversary in America with a series of events to mark this historic milestone.
Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot – Official Watch and Official Timekeeper of Ferrari and Scuderia Ferrari – kicked off the weekend with an exclusive dinner on Friday, October 10, at the Petersen Auto Museum hosted by Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of Hublot and President of the Watch Division of LVMH Group. Mr. Biver discussed the luxury industry among the Checker Flag 200 group of automobile and watch enthusiasts alike in a room adorned with classic Ferraris from the past 60 years.
About the watch
First of all, a note about the colors: in the case of Big Bang Ferrari USA 60th Anniversary, the colors chosen are those of the US flag:red, white and blue. These colors are also reflected in the American landscape, the red of the sunsets, the blue of the seas and lakes and the white of the snows that cloak mountains and cities in the winter months.
The UNICO movement can be compared to the best possible engine to power a racing car, and that it was selected, then designed and developed by Hublot to power the Big Bang Ferrari. With no fewer than 330 components, the column wheel and dual horizontal coupling appear on the dial. Frequency of 28’800 vibrations per hour. An indexed crown (with Hublot’s ‘H’ logo automatically positioning itself to remain in line) features elongated push buttons, fixed along a rotating axis like the pedals in a car whilst carbon inserts give the case distinctive look.
Each timepiece comes with two interchangeable straps, blue Schedoni leather stitched onto black rubber, with an innovative quick-change system inspired by the safety seatbelt mechanism. The white stitching is a nod to the signature upholstery craftsmanship typical of Ferrari. 72 hours of power reserve, water resistant to 100 metres.
The absence of superfluous accessories brings out the fusional and rational aspects of the Big Bang Ferrari 60th Anniversary in North America’s unique design, a pure expression of Hublot value of The Art of Fusion with innovative spirit from Ferrari.
