Hublot Big Bang Chrono Tourbillon Ferrari Watch

It's here. This is the first Ferrari branded Hublot timepiece to come out of the two brand's joint partnership. Unveiled in China, the watch called the Hublot Big Bang Chrono Tourbillon Ferrari is meant to celebrate the quizzically celebration-worthy 20th anniversary of the first Ferrari car sold in China. I don't even think the dealerships there knew about that.Limited to just 20 pieces the watch (ref. 308.QX.1110.HR.SCF11) will be offered in a 44mm wide all carbon fiber case with red tinted sapphire crystal. See the Ferrari logo as part of the chronograph subdial. The movement is the Hublot caliber 6300 column-wheel chronograph with tourbillon and power reserve. You can see the full tech specs below. Hublot considers this as a bit of a preview for a larger Ferrari watch collection from the brand that will debut at Baselworld 2012.Tech Specs from Hublot:BIG BANG CHRONO TOURBILLON FERRARI20th Anniversary of the First Ferrari in ChinaTechnical detailsReference 308.QX.1110.HR.SCF11Series 20 pieces numbered from 01/20 to 20/20Unveiled in Guangzhou, China to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first Ferrari in ChinaCase Big Bang - Diameter 44 mm, made from carbon fibreBezel Carbon fibreCrystal Red sapphire with Hublot transferBezel Lugs Black composite resinLateral inserts Black composite resinCrown ? 8.40 satin-finished, with black rubber insertScrews Black PVD titaniumPush-pieces 2 o'clock satin-finished black with red lacquerCase-back Carbon fibre with red inscriptionsCase-back crystal "20th Anniversary of Ferrari in China" transfer, with Ferrari Horse in the centreWater resistance 10 ATM, i.e. approx 100 metresDial Matt black with black nickel indexesFerrari Horse in the centre of the Chrono minute counter at 2 o'clockHands Faceted & polished hands + red 60-min counterMovement HUB 6300 Column-wheel chronograph, clutch Tourbillon escapement coupled directly to the cage, with power reserve indicator on the dial sideNo. of components 269Jewels 35Bridges Carbon fibreScrews Polished steelMain plate Circular-grained black goldBarrel Reinforced springEscapement Glucydur hairspringPower reserve Approximately 120 hoursStrap Adjustable black rubber and black Porosus Hornback crocodile strap, with red stitchingClasp Big Bang micro-blasted black PVD titanium deployant buckle, micro-blasted black PVD titanium cap, micro-blasted black ceramic decorative plate, black ink engraving and polished black PVD screws
