Looks like Hublot "borrowed" another design

Does this design look familiar to anyone else?Name:  uploadfromtaptalk1440351455886.jpg

What? Hublow 'copy' a design....say it isn't so

Bad news is it's as hideous as the Urwerk.

Looks familiar to the one they designed to commemorate (tap into) the launch of the LaFerrari in 2013 – the MP-05

The one pictured by the OP is the MP-04.

I think this was in a "special issue" of WatchTime on Hublot. While I think there may be some technological feats in this watch, it's just butt ugly. But if someone likes it and wants to pay for it, good for them.

It looks like Iron Man's helmet rather than a haute jewelry

how do you read the time?

is it 5 hours, 40 minutes and 20 seconds?

if so, what are the dashes and zeros on the upper left below the "5"?

ok, maybe i just gave too much thought already to this beast....

That's PR in days – 50 of them!
Time is on the right – almost 20 seconds after 4 o'clock.

well it is a feat of engineering as the watch has 50 days PR, so for that it's special, but ugly as hell, think I prefer the Urwerk even if would never buy either...
