The Manchester United team, your Barclays Premier League Champions, blazed into town last week for the final leg of the Champions Trophy Tour of Asia. Two of the Club’s legendary former players, Andrew Cole and Edwin Van der Sar, also took time out to grace a by-invite only cocktail party at the Hublot flagship store at the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, where they revealed the fiery King Power Red Devil timepiece.

As the official timekeeper and long time friend of Manchester
United- a huge Hublot
clock tower welcomes Man U visitors and supporters at the main entrance at Old
Trafford Stadium – Hublot’s latest horological tribute to their partnership comes in the wake of the soccer team’s historic 19^th English league
title, which they clinched in May this year.

The newly
launched King Power
Red Devil in King Gold is the third tribute watch that the Swiss house has crafted: in 2008, Hublot released a 500-piece only Red Devil Bang I in
black ceramic, followed by the Red Devil
Bang II in red gold in 2009 with only 100 pieces.   All three models
are equipped with a 45-minute chronograph movement especially designed for
counting down each half of a football game, and are immediately recognisable with the flamboyant Red Devils emblem emblazoned on the dial.

This year’s limited edition is produced in 500 numbered pieces for the micro-blasted black ceramic version, and in 250 pieces for the King Gold 18K version. Every watch is accompanied by a certificate guaranteeing its authenticity, signed personally by Sir Alex Ferguson: take a look at the sleek, sporty beauty in action in the video below.
