And I really like it... BUT more dilution of the special Ferrari case and design which is really disappointing to me. I remember the original comments on the Ferrari partnership that it would be a unique case design every year to mark something special for Ferrari, we had this model in the beautiful titanium, warm king gold and magical magic gold... Now another colour change and make it an LE, really sad.
Just my 2c as I am sure it will sell out,

Big Bang Ferrari California 30 Giappone!
Some may think that this is yet another LE from Hublot, but to me, this is a bit more significant. As you all know, Hublot and Ferrari has been partners for a while and there is Big Bang Ferrari series. Hublot and Ferrari both launched "California 30 Giap...

If you ask it, it will come, Andrew :-)
Be patient! This is just a small LE targeted only Japan. The more global one would come with more special design, hopefully :-) Ken
Thats the problem Ken...
Come out with a great product like the original Ferrari and then you buy the titanium version for example which is an amazing watch and on the understanding it was a special model for the partnership, however make some minor changes and edition after edit...
Well, I am not in such a position, and maybe will not be...
... but I heard similar "comment" from RM027 owners, when they saw 27-01 this year (maybe a bit different from what you are saying, though). It is the trend of the industry to enjoy twice, three times, and maybe more with the same candy...? I just mean to...
I think its a trend by a lot of the big brands...
And I can understand it for lower value watches (sub 40k maybe) after all the R&D that goes into it, I just think its a shame if you are sold one thing and jump in (a lot of dosh for the current LaFerrari version) and then a year later another comes out.....
A lot of thought has been put into this one
I like the crown control of date and time and the quick release straps. And the watch itself has enough relevant design cues like the Chrono buttons, automatic rotor, carbon fibre inserts and sandwich case construction with materials relevant to car manuf...
Ah, Andrew, you should handle Big Bang Ferrari somewhere..
.. and feel how the pedal-shaped buttons work. It really feels like stepping on the pedals to press the button. You will know what I mean. Thank you for comment, Andrew! Ken
Thanks a lot Ken for your presentation.
I have to confess that I have never heard of it before your post. Fx
Yes, this press release was not...
... globally sent out as the normal ones. I heard from Hublot Japan and received press release in Japanese, but when I dug press lounge of Hublot web site, I also found EN version. So,, this is really "low profile" LE, I guess! Thank you. FX! Ken
I think it's a nice watch. Just think this way, the car comes with a watch :)
Different Ferraris may have different Ferrari Bangs! Hah.... Of course it's not the original Ferrari model released last year, but I feel it makes sense to use the "template" to create a slightly different watch to commemorate something as it's costly to ...
