Title: Watch and Formula 1
Post by: zuki on March 14, 2010, 01:58:54 PM

Hi guys!...the F1 season is just beginning, and talking about F1, it is not only about car, but also the drivers whose some of them are known as an ambassador of some watch maker...(Hamilton with Tag, Shue for Omega, etc)....However, today, Hublot announce that they are going to be or already appointed as an official watch for Formula 1 started this season...what is your comment?

As far as i know the "official" F1 watch dont tie in any drivers.
The drivers are sponsored diff by other brands.

BTW i still see Trulli wearing the AP Survivor right before he go in the car, not sure if he wears it during the race though.

One word .... MARKETING STRATEGY.
At the end of the day, cost is pass down to the consumer.
By the way, Massa is wearing RM.

RM and MB&F are my grails now...especially the latter...got a friend who bought 3 pieces of MB&F...played with it and instantly fell in love with 1 of the models.

but to spend S$60K and above on a piece.......i need to get past myself first!  :HammerHead:
