Hublot - King Power Usain Bolt















Hublot - King Power Usain Bolt NEW

Jamaican sprinter Usain “Lightning” Bolt became known as the world’s fastest man back in 2008, when he won a gold medal and set new Olympic records at the summer games in Beijing. Now, as Bolt prepares to defend his title this year in London, he will have his own personalized Hublot watch to record his lap times: the King Power Usain Bolt.






































 
The new watch, which was designed in collaboration with the Olympic athlete and contains Hublot’s HUB4100 chronograph movement, incorporates several signature elements that are representative of Bolt. On the dial, a silhouette of Bolt in his recognizable sprint pose is applied in anthracite gray transfer atop a black background in the small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock. In the 12-hour chronograph subdial at 6 o’clock, the numbers and indices are in the green color of the Jamaican flag. The dial also has a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock and date window at 4:30.

The huge, predominantly black, 48-mm King Power case is made of micro-blasted ceramic. Touches of gold, the color of Bolt’s “lucky” running shoes, are evident on the dial (whose flange features a 2n gold powder coating) and the strap, which sports an outside layer of the same gold-colored synthetic leather as Bolt’s shoes stitched onto Hublot-standard black rubber. The Bolt silhouette figure is also inscribed on the sapphire caseback window.
The watch will be a limited series of 250 numbered pieces, priced at $24,000 each.

Bolt, who turns 25 this year, is off to a good start in his quest to defend his three titles, in the 100, 200, and 4×100 meter events, this summer in London. He recently completed his first individual 100 meters in just 9.82 seconds at Kington, Jamaica’s National Stadium, beating 2011′s season-opening time of 9.91 seconds.
Hublot chairman Jean-Claude Biver, cleverly referencing Hublot’s other popular watch models, said,”It is perfectly natural to be associated with the fastest man, not just on the planet, but the fastest since the Big Bang.”

The RM 016 entered the Richard Mille collection with a new and distinct identity. Its extra flat, rectangular case marks a new phase in the brand’s history, yet the watch remains one hundred percent Richard Mille, featuring the same attention to detail and technical achievement as its predecessors; the manufacture and assembly of the case’s three sections require 202 separate operations. Under its case the RM 016 Black Night boasts a skeletonized caliber RMAS7 automatic-winding movement with an integrated variable- geometry rotor, an exclusive Richard Mille concept which allows the automatic winding to adapt to the wearer’s activity. The watch’s design and construction are the result of an overall approach encompassing movement, casing and face.

Richard Mille will produce just 10 pieces of the RM 016 Black Night Limited Edition.
