The Review Of Hublot Classic Fusion Kobe Bryant ‘HeroVillain’ Replica Watch



Recently, here in Los Angeles, Hublot helped brand ambassador Kobe Bryant celebrate his now official retirement from playing professional basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers after 20 years of service. The affably charming Byrant was on point this evening as his carefully curated retirement plan checked off another box while he strapped on his latest limited edition Hublot watch reference 517.CX.0180.PR.KOB16 made just for him.

Hublot has celebrated various sides of Kobe Bryant's personality with each of the now three limited edition watches they have produced together. It began back in 2013 when Hublot and Kobe Bryant announced the King Power Black Mamba With the crew at the event, I congratulated Mr. Bryant on the relationship and failed to make small talk when making the mistake of mentioning Nubeo, a late 2000's brand with huge potential that suffered fatally after the economic crash. After my remark, I then realized that Bryant probably lost money as part of the ordeal and it was a sore topic. I mostly brought it up because I was a genuine fan of the brand's product and saw his participation as a sign of his level of fine watch appreciation and good taste.

The 2016 limited edition Hublot Classic Fusion Kobe Bryant "HeroVillain" is either the third in a series or the end of a trilogy. For Bryant, I believe this watch is not only about celebrating the end of his career, but also the legacy and personality he has left behind. A sentimentalist, in my opinion, Kobe ponders whether he will be remembered for his heroic determination or his sometimes direct path to success at the expense of other considerations that might be on the "villain" side of the spectrum.

Kobe Bryant has mentioned that he would not rule out a return to the sports industry in the future, but I get the impression he is ready for a break after a live-eat-breathe-basketball life for two whole decades. The man of many passions seems eager about putting his attention and energy elsewhere for a while - even though he has not made it clear what that is.

With full humility, Kobe shared that he is not a good designer, and that he does not design his watches. Rather, he conveys a vision, story, and set of emotions he wants to imbue into his watches and credits the artistry of Hublot's designers for the final product. It's nice to see him open about the design process and profess his genuine appreciation for how the brand has handled their relationship - a relationship of importance to the star because he does care about watches.

Kobe was clearly happy when seeing the Hublot Classic Fusion Kobe Bryant HeroVillain replica on his wrist. It's cool because, at events like this, even Kobe is probably seeing the watch for the first time in real life. It's a good time to be Kobe, retiring with the splash he was hoping for. Certainly something to add points to the "hero" side of the equation. The question is if Hublot will continue to be a part of his personality moving forward - and I think, for the time being, it will be. Price for the limited edition of 24 pieces reference 517.CX.0180.PR.KOB16 Hublot Classic Fusion Kobe Bryant "HeroVillain" watch.

Hot Sale Replica Omega Speedmaster 38mm Watches For 2017

Image
With Baselworld 2017 here, Omega is releasing fourteen new 38mm Speedmaster watches. Some refer to the automatic Omega Speedmasters that come in this size as "reduced," and the brand is noting that these Omega Speedmaster 38mm models replica will be both men's and women's watches. Sized the same, materials and color choices will separate the men's and women's pieces. The Omega Speedmaster 38mm 324.30.38.50.03.001 is very cool with a light blue dial and seems to be the sportiest model we've seen here. This version is devoid of any precious metal and features a sunray-brushed, ice-blue dial. The dial is well accompanied by the dark blue aluminum bezel, and similarly colored subdial and chronograph hands. This is the only one out of the four watches shown here that comes on a (polished and brushed) stainless steel bracelet. The Omega Speedmaster 38mm reference 324.28.38.50.02.002 is another ladies' piece featuring the diamond studded bezel rin

The Hublot F1 King Power Austin Limited Edition Watch

Image
Not to be outdone by Audemars Piguet and their claims to Formula 1 racing, Hublot, the official watch brand of F1, has announced the F1 King Power Austin as a tribute to the United States Grand Prix which was held in Austin, Texas this past weekend. Limited to just 250 units, this titanium cased chronograph boasts a carbon and titanium bezel which has been styled to look like a cross-drilled  performance brake rotor. Measuring 48mm across, the F1 King Power Austin is powered by the HUB4100 automatic chronograph movement which has a power reserve of 42 hours and offers a 30 minute chronograph, sub seconds and a date display. While the King Power line is a predictable platform for an F1-inspired watch, Hublot has not simply slapped an F1 logo on an existing model. The rubberized chronograph pushers boldly proclaim "START" and "RESET" in red and black lettering, calling for a comparison with the button-heavy layouts of a modern F1 steering wheel. The pushers are

Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer Limited Edition Watch

Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer Limited Edition Watch Every year at Baselworld, Omega announces a massive amount of new watches, and usually only a handful take the spotlight each year. Last year it was the Trilogy Collection and this year the new Seamaster 300M seemed to get all the love. However, Omega usually has a few sleeper hits up their sleeves, and for 2018, one of my favorite Omega releases is the latest addition to its CK2998 family, the Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer Limited Edition watch. The Speedmaster is a watch that needs no introduction in the watch world. It’s an iconic (yeah, I used the “i” word) design that has stood the test of time and is instantly recognizable. The new Omega Speedmaster CK2998 Pulsometer is fitted with a steel case, measuring in at 39.7mm in diameter with a lug spacing of 19mm, suggesting that it will wear quite nicely on most wrist sizes, but difficult to find alternative strap options due to the 19mm lug spacing.
