Not.
This is Hublot's latest journey down the rabbit hole of excess, vanity and brain-dead partnerships.
This is the Big Bang Unico Retrograde Kobe "Vino" Bryant - just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
Now apparently, there is a deep connection between between basketball, watchmaking, and wine making... for realsies?
Well, Mr. Bryant was kind enough to wax poetically on how this really (ugly, I'm sorry this thing hurts my feelings just looking at it) "unique" Hublot model came to be -
Kobe Brant, Hublot Brand Ambassador, said: “It is an honor to launch my second Hublot Timepiece, Vino. When I joined the Hublot family, the Black Mamba was a natural fit, but we also discussed the relationship between basketball, watchmaking and wine; specifically, the dedication of the wine makers to making that perfect blend, the effort that goes into the maturation process and the attention to detail that goes into the art of watchmaking," he added.
Who knows, maybe he'll actually wear this one. For those of you still interested, here are the specs - I'm heading out to search for some Pepto-Bismol.
