Million Dollar Challenge – Manchester United – Unicef – 22.07.10
Posted in Ublot on Feb 29th, 2012 12 Comments »
Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Darren Fletcher and Edwin van der Sar are taking part in the Hublot Million Dollar Challenge, in which they’ll try to hit a target masked as a giant Hublot watch from 51 feet, hoping to raise valuable funds for a great cause. United are currently on tour in the US and Canada, but will make a stop in the Big Apple for the event, which is open to the public and takes place between the iconic Flatiron and Empire State buildings on 23rd Street and Broadway. The United players will be wearing their shooting boots, but regardless of whether the men in red can hit a bullseye, Hublot has promised to make a significant contribution to the excellent work carried out by the Reds’ charity partner UNICEF. “Our relationship with Manchester United is very special,” says Hublot CEO Jean-Claude Biver. “We love getting creative to organise unique experiences, such as the Million Dollar Challenge, to support United for UNICEF.” “We are very excited to participate in the Hublot Million Dollar Challenge,” says Manchester United Foundation chief executive John Shiels. “The event will be a unique opportunity to bring people together to raise funds for United for UNICEF, while also having a great time.”

Inside The £2.25 Million Home Of The Late George Daniels
Posted in articles&news on Feb 1st, 2012 No Comments »
The death of the great George Daniels was a tragic loss for the watch industry. He was, according to many, the greatest living watchmaker. Now that Mr. Daniels has been laid to rest comes the matter of his estate. We’ve already told you that his incredible, $ 12.4 million car collection will be coming up for sale shortly via Bonhams.
Now, it seems his home and workshop on the Isle of Man is on the market, and for £2.25 million. The Georgian mansion is set within four acres of landscaped gardens, two semi-detached cottages, a workshop, and various outbuildings and several interlinked garages.
So, now that we know where his cars and home are going to be sold, that leaves just one (very) important personal possession left – his watch collection…

Photo Essay: The $1.65 Million Richard Mille RM056 In The Metal (Errr….Sapphire)
Posted in articles&news on Jan 21st, 2012 No Comments »
Richard Mille’s RM056 split-seconds chrono tourbillion is encased entirely in sapphire and costs $ 1.65 million – that much you know thanks to our post about it on Monday. The feedback to this x-ray of a watch has been tremendous, and according to Richard Mille, all five of the production RM056′s have already been sold – what recession, right?
So, we went back and gave the RM056 the HODINKEE photo treatment. What does, exactly, this watch look like in the flesh? Well, it is visually striking. With light behind it, it glows. The RM caliber is, as always, just beautiful. The sapphire case almost looks plastic (we assure, it’s not). The RM056, of course, reminds us of the first sapphire-centric uber-watch, the MB&F HM2 Sapphire Vision, though the RM takes the use of the brittle but scratch-resistant glass quite a bit further.
We have over ten live, detailed photographs of this amazing watch below, so be sure to click through to get a better impression of one watch that was the talk of SIHH.

The Richard Mille RM056: A Split-Seconds Chrono-Tourbillon Encased Entirely In Sapphire, For $1.65 Million
Posted in articles&news on Jan 16th, 2012 No Comments »
This is the new Richard Mille RM056. It is a split-seconds chronograph with tourbillon with a case built entirely out of sapphire. The whole thing. In fact, this three piece case is actually milled from one solid block of sapphire, cut to allow for the movement placement and then reassembled as this watch. Sapphire is indeed highly scratch-resistant, though somewhat brittle, so in theory, this watch could break if dropped.
Still, it features just an absolutely breathtaking movement – the lightest split-chrono tourbillon movement in the world – and an incredible look.
Only five RM56′s will be made. The cost? Yup, $ 1.65 million.
