Hublot teams up with Miami Heat
Official watch of the Miami Heat in very limited edition
Do you love basketball as much as you love watches? More importantly, do you think the Miami Heat is the best team in the league? I’m about to blow your mind! Swiss watchmaker, Hublot has teamed up with Miami Heat to create their first “King Power Watch” branded with the Miami Heat logo.
Before you start dancing in the bleachers, you should probably know that this is a very limited edition release of only 200 Miami Heat watches. But if you still need to dance, proceeds from sales of this timepiece go to the Miami Heat Charitable Fund helping people in need in Florida.
The watch itself is a masterpiece of complex design that will have you gazing at it for hours:
The Miami Heat timepiece is crafted from 18-karat King Gold which is actually gold mixed with 5 percent platinum alloy. I do not know if it is a coincidence or not, but the number 48 appears three times in the watch. Housed in an extremely large case with the diameter of 48 mm, a new movement features a special 48 minute central counter which simulates the four 12-minute quarters of a basketball game. The impeccable movement preserves more than sufficient 48 hours of power reserve.
The chronograph has two centrally mounted hands. The first hand measures 60 seconds and the other one counts time up to 48 minutes. A small date window is situated between 4 and 5 o’clock positions. The hour and minute hands are skeletonized and thus you can clearly see a complex maze of mechanism elements which joined forces assure high precision.
Each watch comes with an official Heat Jersey signed by superstar, Udonis Haslem. Hublot King Power watches have been made in several dedications, but this package is sure to get Heat fans drooling as much as it gets Hublot fans drooling so expect this edition to go pretty fast.
As far as luxury watches go, the King Power Chronograph is definitely a collector’s dream. Add the limited edition and the sports tie-in, and you have a watch that will be coveted for generations no matter how well the Heat does.
