The Hublot Techframe Ferrari 70 Years Tourbillon Chronograph looks like it wants to race off your wrist

- Ashok Soman

Here is a watch that was apparently dreamed up by actual, honest-to-goodness gearheads. By that, we mean car designers and engineers because the Ferrari team at Maranello took the lead in creating the Hublot Techframe Ferrari 70 Years Tourbillon Chronograph watch; the watchmakers in Nyon turned these petrol-fuelled dreams into mechanical reality. Hublot says it provided “guidance” to the team at Maranello, but it seems just a little whacky to have the guys there design what is essentially a birthday tribute to their own company. Also, we have to wonder if the Hublot team is hard at work designing a new car for the legends of the Italian auto industry.
