Hublot's appointment as F1's official watchmaker seems to have given the Swiss brand a new zeal, at least so it seems when we heard that Hublot's specialized team, The Confrerie Horlogere Hublot has unveiled a reinterpretation of the pocket watch in the form of a gun cartridge. The watch is poetically christened "Liberty" and also houses a Tourbillon. The time piece symbolizes power, luxury, aesthetic beauty and the promise of escaping conventional interpretation. The case has a gun cartridge shape, grade 5 titanium head and anadically oxidized matt black aluminum base. The watch houses a manual-wind Swiss tourbillon-type, has 36 jewels and has a roller display of hours and minutes. The gorgeous watch can also be worn as a bracelet or pendant. [Timezone]

Each item is available with a "Big Bang" 44.5 mm case, crafted from microblasted black ceramic. The company's craftsmen have also endowed the new Hublot watch with an open case-back, produced from the same material.The body of the timekeeper in question is outlined by a noble bezel, fashioned from black composite resin. The bezel is bolted down to the case with six titanium H-shaped countersunk, polished and locked screws.The new GreenGo Bang watch is endowed with a massive steel crown with green rubber insert. The crown is supported by satin-finished steel, rectangular chronograph push-pieces with rubber inserts of the same color. The pushers are located at 2 and 4 o'clock. The water-resistance of the case is assured down to 100 meters.Housed in the model is a clearly laid out dial, dressed in the colors of the GreenGo club. Performed in black, it coordinates perfectly with satin-finished ruthenium colored hour-markers, with green Superluminova-inlaid appliques.Just as well, the green SuperLuminova is applied to partially transparent hour and minutes hands, also clothed in satin-finished ruthenium color. Slim as it is, the chronograph seconds hand features no luminous substance, yet boasts an H-shaped counterweight.Additionally, the display includes 30-minute, 12-hour and 60-second chronograph counters. They are positioned at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock correspondingly. These sub-dials are joined by a date aperture, revealed between 4 and 5 o'clock.The brand's logo sits comfortably beneath the 12 o'clock hour-marker. A special attention-getter of the watch face is the club's name, presented in orange. It substitutes the index at 8 o'clock. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, which features an anti-reflective treatment on both sides.All the functions mentioned are brought to life by an automatic mechanical chronograph movement - calibre Hublot HUB4100. The mechanism comprises 252 components. They include a sand-blasted and rhodium-plated main plate as well as satin-finished, bevelled and polished bridges. The power reserve, provided by the movement, constitutes about 42 hours.The new Hublot watch is accompanied by a black gummy alligator leather strap, adorned with green stitching.
