KING POWER “BLACK MAMBA”

On the occasion of the Kobe Bryant “Official entry” into the Hublot family, CEO Ricardo Guadalupe revealed the King Power Black Mamba.

This watch, a limited edition of only 250 pieces, is in many aspects inspired by Bryant’s personality and career: Stronger, powerful, and further evolved design, the King Power is a timepiece with a complex dial made of several layers, a sober and powerful aesthetic concept, housing a split-seconds Foudroyante Chronograph movement.

Made of black ceramic, with a silver coloured snake around the counter at 9 o’clock and the inclusion of the “24” at 6 o’clock representing Kobe’s number on the court, the watch finds its special expression into Hublot’s own fusion DNA: black ceramic, titanium, tungsten, rhodium plating, and composite elements completed with a black python strap.
