Good Morning!

 

after 3 1/2 hours of sleep, a refreshing cool shower and some OxyElite Pro, I'm good to go

 

 

First off we have the new King Power chronographs with the in-house UNICO movement. JCB stated yesterday that the majority of new movements and complications will debut in the King Power line.

 

The RG/RG version:

 

 

 

 

And the beautiful backside. You HAVE TO see this movement in person. I'm so proud that Hublot has accomplished this in such a short time.

 

 

 

All Black:

 

 

 

 

Next up we have some new Classic Fusions/Big Bang Classics. These now come in several combinations (this year we've seen Zirconium/RG and Ceramic/RG) as well as several sizes. 45mm, 42mm, and 38mm with a quartz movement;

 

Here are some of the Zirconium/RG models:

 

 

 

 

 

Next up, some complications. First we have the KIng Power GMT Tourbillon, manufactured in-house. Here is the RG version:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And one of my favorite novelties from this year: the BB Tourbillon Minute-Repeater!

 

 

 

 

Can anyone guess where the pusher/slider for the minute repeater is?

 

 

And again, let's end this report with some color and bling.

 

I have to say that my wife and I are really feeling these Tutti Frutti Mirror pieces. As the name implies, these pieces come with mirror dials. This line is part of the Vendome Collection, which is exclusive to Hublot boutiques and retailers who really go out of their way for Hublot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see the mirror reflecting

 

 

 

And Finally, a charity piece for the African Wildlife Foundation:

 

 

 

And that's all for now, folks!

 

stay tuned for part 3.

I just wanted to share... and to be frank, i like this place, it is as welcoming as RWI, which is where i hang out most of the time...

I find this place easier to navigate & use

Well, it's appreciated - for what it's worth, I like RWI too - it's a damned good board & easily my favourite of the 'other three'
