The King Power series by Hublot is aptly named. With the powerhouse of mechanics and materials developed, tweaked, and hardened by Hublot’s masterful workmen, the watches always seem bent on blowing the competition out of the water. With Hublot’s King Power Alinghi 4000 Carbon Fiber Watch, that sense of competition and drive only becomes more pronounced.

Hublot partnered once with the Alinghi team, and seeks to renew their partnership with this year’s races. The watch brand produces an excellent set of diver’s watches, so it’s no surprise that they would ally themselves with one of the most prestigious sailing teams in the world.
Taking all of the plusses of the Hublot Oceanographic 4000 carbon fiber, the Alinghi watch adds its own tweaks to the design. The diver’s watch combines the color scheme of the team and the Alinghi team logo.
The watch features a carbon fiber case and a depth rating of a whopping 4,000 meters, making the King Power Alinghi claims the title of one of the highest depth ratings in the world. The complete carbon fiber case is said to be inspired by the hulls of the Alinghi catamarans—and with good reason. The material is light, yet incredibly tough.

Both Alinghi and Hublot’s use of the highest quality materials are evident in their lines of work. Both sailing team and watch brand combine the highest quality, forward-thinking materials with the expertise of weathered professionals to beat the competition and make a name for themselves. No wonder the two teams have retained their partnership over the years: both take the same approach to their craft.
The bright red colors of the watch will make it easy to read at a glance throughout all the elements while the red accents add a majestic feel to the King Power Timepiece. The mechanical movement and automatic winding keeps the watch running as smoothly as a catamaran in calm waters. Add on a power reserve of 42 hours, and this watch will be able to last out a day of fun in the sun.
The Hublot’s King Power Alinghi 4000 Carbon Fiber watch is a limited edition piece—only 100 will be sold—so you’ll have to race to nab one for yourself if you’re interested. With all the potency of the King Power line and the team Spirit of the Alinghi team, why wouldn’t you beat out the competition?

Hublot Unico all carbon watch 6 Hublot UNICO All Carbon Watch Hands On

“Oh, hello carbon fiber. Yeah, I haven’t seen you in a while. I know you used to hang out here a lot, but over the last few years ceramic has been stealing a lot of the attention. We didn’t always get along when you were popular, but you did have your moments.” This carbon fiber-based Hublot watch almost feels like a blast from the rather recent past. With an almost all-carbon fiber case and bezel, there is a reason this watch is named the Hublot UNICO All Carbon.

Carbon fiber was really starting to get overdone a few years ago when it started showing up all over the place. The worst was the legions of cheap watches with fake carbon fiber dials – yuck! The watch industry really put carbon fiber on the backburner as a material lately. Like I said, materials such as ceramic and titanium started to get so much more popular, and were so versatile, that carbon fiber just didn’t get as much attention from designers.

Then all of a sudden I see this UNICO All Carbon watch from Hublot and suddenly remember why carbon fiber was interesting in the first place. I also probably like it so much because there is no carbon fiber in the dial. Just lots of Hublot style skeletonization with a view to the movement. The name UNICO is part of the watch and placed on the movement. UNICO is a title given to some of Hublot’s in-house made movements. Based on a modified ETA Valjoux 7750 architecture, the UNICO is a totally in-house manufactured automatic chronograph movement. One of the improvements over the 7750 architecture in this caliber HUB1240 movement is the use of a column wheel in the chronograph. You can see the column-wheel right in the dial near 6 o’clock. The chronograph also has a flyback feature.

I don’t know what the status is right now, but early UNICO movements I saw even used carbon fiber plates. I don’t think that is the case with this model though. While the dial of the watch is skeletonized, it is not done in a way that you can’t read the watch. Hublot was especially careful with this model to promote legibility as well as visual interest. On the rear of the watch you can see the movement through the sapphire crystal caseback window.

To create the look of the dial, Hublot used a tinted sapphire crystal for much of the dial. On it are applied ruthenium-coated hour markers with bright white lume and matching hands. The chronograph here has only one subdial and measures 60 minutes. The movement also has the time and date of course. Over the dial is another sapphire crystal that is AR coated.

For the UNICO All Carbon, Hublot uses a King Power chronograph case. The 48mm wide case is actually carbon fiber, as is the bezel. There are PVD black titanium screws used for the case and bezel. A ring of rubber lines the side of the bezel. The black carbon fiber case looks cool, and the visual texture of carbon fiber is really at its best here with the high-quality material. The case is very light and strong despite the size.

Matched to the case is the typical cool looking rubber strap you see on many King Power Hublot watches. The overall look and feel on this UNICO All Carbon is impressive. Hublot mixed a focus on the material with an in-house made movement for a truly unique timepiece. The UNICO All Carbon (ref. 701.QX.0140.RX) isn’t a limited edition model, but will probably be produced in limited quantities for a couple of years.

Back in 2009 we introduced you to Biel based manufacture Armin Strom, a 16 person operation making and finishing some properly impressive calibers. Today the company boasts 18 people and their involvement with racing sports such as F1 and Extreme Sailing has yielded some timepieces bespoke with components straight out of the competitive machines themselves. This year at Basel, Armin Strom is introducing the Racing Carbon to celebrate this involvement.

The Racing Carbon’s carbon inlays along the levels of brass bridges and plates. The composite’s strategic use within the dial creates a depth of contrast against the revealed twin mainspring barrels and gear train. The carbon is uncoated and raw, leaving it with a matte appearance and keeping it in its lightest state. A plate of carbon is found in back as well, covering a portion of the caliber ARM12 but leaving the balance and escapement exposed.

The dial cutaways reveal just enough to create an interaction with the wearer, without sacrificing legibility or functionality. As you wind the watch, the barrels and gears begin their easily observable dance right before your eyes. Those two barrels also provide a stout 7 day power reserve which comes in handy as the watch is a hand wind.

Two years ago, Audemars Piguet released their first real diver – the Royal Oak Diver – and it’s been a huge success for the brand (We reviewed it in its briny element here.) For 2012 comes a new carbon fiber version with ceramic bezel. Sporting the same dimensions, mega-tapisserie dial, 3120 automatic movement and rotating inner timing ring as the steel Diver, the new version has a decidedly more sporty appearance, thanks to the yellow minute hand and 15-minute arc on the timing ring.

More photos after the jump.
