As the Official Watchmaker of Formula 1, Hublot is proud to celebrate the first ever 2011 Formula 1 Grand Prix Airtel taking place in New Delhi, India, the 6th Asian country on the 2011 calendar of the 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship.

To mark this upcoming event, Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of Hublot, revealed at the Oberoi Hotel Gurgaon in Delhi – on Thursday 17th February, 2011 – the new F1 King Power India watch, a limited edition of 200 individually numbered pieces, especially designed in recognition of this highly anticipated event in the history of Formula 1.

Sporting the famous F1 logo and colors of the Indian flag on its dial and bracelet, the F1King Power India features several unique aspects made from an array of high-tech materials directly inspired by Formula 1 (some of which have never before been used in watchmaking) such as a ceramic bezel with a circular-grained satin finish adorned with multiple holes inspired by a high performance brake disc, a strap made from rubber and Nomex, a synthetic fibre developed by Dupont De Nemours and used – thanks to its very low combustibility and thermostability – to make the suits worn by F1drivers as well as the Start, Reset and Split push buttons, the latter for the split second function and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock.

With the festive season around, people are planning to buy expensive gifts for their loved ones and what could be a better gift than a luxury timepiece. An expensive watch tells a lot about the status of the owner, one such special edition watch set is has been rolled out by the well known watchmaker Hublot.
