A Big Bang for Legendary Argentinian Footballer Diego Maradona….don’t miss the highlight reel
While recently I’ve been somewhat tough on Hublot – first criticizing it’s new website (which drew comments from JC Biver himself) and then it’s too many flavors of Big Bang (criticisms which were answered indirectly by JC Biver in a separate interview), I’ve always and still am a fan of the brand. If there is one thing Hublot does supremely well, it would be its athlete ambassadors. For example, I love the Red Devil Bang II (Manchester United) and the Bode Bang (skier Bode Miller). And even though he is not an ambassador, our sports watch writer even spotted world super star sprinter Usain Bolt wearing a Hublot! So when I heard that now Diego Maradona is Hublot’s newest ambassador, I simply said “Good call JC Biver, good call.”
So what to be said about this new Big Bang except that it looks sweet and I like it. I love the color scheme that says Argentina all the way. With only 250 to be made, I wonder how many will go to Argentina which will likely go NUTS to get their hands on the Big Bang that bears Maradona likeness on the back and his #10 from on the front.
If you have any doubt as to the legendary status of this footballer, well, the highlights could go on for days, but I dug up a very nicely produced and relatively short compilation that you might enjoy (there are actually quite a lot of them on YouTube if you are looking to kill some time)
