Hublot Skull Bang

 Hublot Skull Bang

The Hublot Skull Bang is the latest and greatest limited edition. The piece was developed exclusively for Laurent Picciotto (Photo on right). Picciotto is a long time Hublot supporter, and is directly responsible for the first Hublot boutique in Paris. This piece is a gesture to his support and enthusiasm for the brand. The case is made entirely of black ceramic and is in my opinion a bit Rock n Roll and a bit Goth. It is limited to only 100 pieces and can only be found at Chronopassion in Paris.

One problem with Hublot in my opinion. 
 They don't make enough watches!

The Swiss Monster is giving this piece 5/5 Lumes!
