Based on its partnerships with athletes from sports such as football, athletics, golf, boxing, tennis and Formula 1, Hublot has created several special edition timepieces. The latest among its special edition timepieces has been created to honor its new partnership with German Judoka Alexander Wieczerzak.Describing the partnership with Judo World Champion Wieczerzak, Hublot stated that he embodied “Success, willpower, hard work, ability to push the limits, and pursuing one’s own path to achieve the extraordinary.” Wieczerzak, who has been a member of the German national Judo team since 2012 has had to overcome a number of health challenges including a serious dengue fever episode and a broken rib in 2016, which kept him from competing in the Rio Olympics that year. Since 2017, Wieczerzak has been on a comeback trail and has delivered exceptional performances including winning the World Championship medal in Baku in 2018.The Big Bang Unico Judo, which has resulted from the collaboration with Wieczerzak, sports a distinct geometric design on its case. It comes with a 45mm case made from titanium while the black dial has a sporty look. Hublot’s caliber MHUB1213 UNICO movement is onboard the timepiece and it provides a power reserve of 72 hours. Two straps are provided with the timepiece one of which is made from black fabric and rubber while the other version features a combination of white calfskin on black rubber.Hublot will be creating 50 pieces of the timepiece as part of a limited edition run and the back of each case will have the number of the piece and Wieczerzak’s logo.Click on the slideshow to check the timepiece.http://www.blouinartinfo.comFounder: Louise Blouin Read more
