Big Bang "Red Devil Bang" is a chronograph by Hublot.

Info

Cooperation with Hublot Manchester United led to the creation of a new Big Bang: the Red Devil Bang, a chronograph from black ceramic with 45 minutes counter, which was designed by Hublot for football and especially for Manchester United. In football a half-time lasts 45 minutes. On the dial shines the famous logo with the red devil of the English football club.

Jean-Claude Biver, the managing director of Hublot, at the presentation of this special model also underlined his commitment to the Manchester United Foundation , a foundation that helps young people by different activities linked closely to football. It involves both a better social integration and also the support of sick children. A share of the sales price of the "Red Devil Bang" watches will benefit this foundation.

Already at the football World Cup 2006 Hublot had teamed with the Swiss team; at the European Championship 2008 the company had occurred as a major sponsor. Furthermore, there had been a cooperation with the Mexican Football Federation, for which a special watch was designed. The connection with Manchester United follows this line.
