On
December 7th, at a celebrity tennis match at Sutton East Tennis Club in
New York City, Hublot unveiled its new Bode Bang watch. The
celebrity tennis match was to support Bode's relationship with the
Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program was called Hublot's “Tennis
Fusion” Celebrity Challenge. Bode
Miller along with 2-time tennis Grand Slam winner Justin Gimelstob,
actor Sebastian Stan of TV's Gossip Girl and Olympian Tim Morehouse
played a doubles tennis match, with Hublot Managing Director Ricardo
Guadalupe as umpire.
This new timepiece is a collaborative effort between the brand and Bode Miller an American skier. The
world champion skier was delighted at the opportunity to have a Big
Bang watch that bears his name and to divert some of the watch's
royalties to the Turtle Ridge Foundation, which was founded by Bode
Miller and his family in 2005. The watch is to be a limited and numbered
edition of 250 pieces.
The
Bode Bang is powered by the brands HUB4100 Mechanical chronograph
movement with automatic winding which allows for a 42 hour power
reserve. The watch is completed with an adjustable black rubber strap with a clasp constructed from steel black PVD. The watch is water resistant to 100 meters.
