Formula 1 King Power Ceramic

After the phenomenal success of the F1™ King Power (in Zirconium and King Gold versions) and the F1™ King Power Tourbillon (also in Zirconium and King Gold versions), Hublot has unveiled the third member of this prestigious series, the F1™ King Power Ceramic. Its presentation coincided with the 2011 Formula 1™ UBS Chinese Grand Prix, in the presence of Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of Hublot, who travelled out for the occasion.

An ideal watchmaking material, ceramic is 30% lighter than steel, 100% anti-allergenic, 100% unalterable and 100% rust-proof. In a limited edition of 500 numbered pieces, the F1™ King Power Ceramic is a chronograph with two push-buttons (Start and Reset), a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a small seconds at 9 o'clock. Its case, 48 mm in diameter, is made from micro-blasted black ceramic. The dial bears the official Formula 1 logo and the special carbon fibre bezel is adorned with a signature drilled ceramic ring inspired by high performance brake discs. Finally, its strap comprises two layers stitched together with red thread; the inner made from natural black rubber and the outer made from Nomex™, a synthetic fibre developed by Dupont De Nemours which, thanks to its very low combustibility, is used to make the overalls worn by racing drivers.

An Official Watch of Formula 1, the F1™ King Power Ceramic is the fruit of a close and ongoing collaboration between the teams of Bernie Ecclestone, CEO of the Formula One™ group, and of Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of Hublot. Many features of its design are visibly inspired by the world of Formula One™, combining the finest know-how and manufacturing processes at the cutting edge of research and use of hi-tech materials.
