6 July 2011, Singapore :
Manchester United, Barclays Premier League Champions, today hold an exclusive cocktail party in the Hublot flagship boutique at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
In attendance will be two of the Club’s legendary former players, Andrew Cole and Edwin Van der Sar. Together, they unveil the new King Power Red Devil.
This event is part of the twelve days Champions Trophy Tour of Asia, where the public gets a rare view of the much coveted Premier League Trophy. Singapore is the sixth and final leg of the tour, which has included Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. As the official timekeeper and long term partner of Manchester United, the Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot shows its highest respect to the Club and congratulates them on their historic 19th English league title which they gained in May 2011.
A club with an exceptional record and iconic players, this legendary soccer team boasts over 132 years of history during which time they won 36 major trophies. Since 1878, Manchester United has crystallized the worldʼs passion for soccer. The team, an embodiment of great ambitions, has partnered with Hublot, their official timekeeper since 2008. A huge Hublot clock tower welcomes visitors and supporters at the main entrance at Old Trafford Stadium.
In tribute to this fantastic partnership, Hublot has developed three limited editions: Red Devil Bang I in black ceramic, launched in 2008 with only 500 pieces followed by the Red Devil Bang II in red gold in 2009 with only 100 pieces, and in 2011, the newly launched King Power Red Devil in King Gold. All three models are equipped with a 45-minute chronograph movement especially designed for counting down each half of a football game, They also incorporate the slightly rebellious Red Devils emblem on the dial.
The King Power Red Devil is a fine symbol of fusion and innovation, paying tribute to the most legendary of football clubs. Each watch is accompanied by a guarantee certificate signed personally by Sir Alex Ferguson.
