The Red Devil Bang
Acknowledged and appreciated as a luxury item that can be worn while engaged in sporting activities, as well as during an evening out, our timepieces – a symbol of fusion and innovation – have won over the hearts of new fans. And these fans may well rejoice: the partnership between Hublot and Manchester United heralds a new Big Bang: the Red Devil Bang, a black ceramic chronograph displaying a 45-minutes counter – the duration of a football match half – especially developed by Hublot for football and Manchester United. Sporting on its dial the celebrated Red Devil logo, this is a somewhat rebellious watch that honours the colours of the club, whose history ispunctuated with victories and memorable dramas.
HUBLOT SA
Within the framework of its partnership with Manchester United, the CEO of Hublot, Jean-Claude Biver, strongly wished to also make a commitment to the “Manchester United Foundation”, an organisation which helps young people through various footballrelated activities. The Foundation has developed educational programmes in order to promote better social integration and also provides support for sick children. It acts at international as well as local level. Hublot has always been involved in activities in support and defence of children. As Mr Biver says: “The height of luxury is the capacity to share”. Part of the proceeds from the sales of the “Red Devil Bang” watches will thus be donated to the Foundation.
Just as a reminder: Jean-Claude Biver, Hublot CEO, was at the origin of a pioneering and unexpected development when he decided to associate Hublot’s image with football. The brand began by associating with the Swiss team during the 2006 World Cup, then became involved as official timekeeper at Euro 2008, and meanwhile created a special watch for the Mexican Football Federation. Finally, its latest passionate interest was for the Spanish team, some fifteen days before they won the Euro 2008!
