Hublot launched the Spirit of Big Bang Bruce Lee Be Water Limited Edition as a tribute to the Kung Fu superstar.

Hublot held a grand opening ceremony on March 1st to celebrate its new SKP Beijing boutique. Located inside the high-end commercial landmark in Beijing, SKP, the boutique represents another milestone for Hublot in the Chinese market. Meanwhile, the watch brand joins hands once again with the Bruce Lee Foundation to hold the "Be Water, My Friend-Legend of Bruce Lee Memorial Exhibition" from 1st to 6th March 2016 in Beijing SKP. The Bruce Lee philosophy-themed exhibition displays precious items that Bruce Lee owned himself, as well as a variety of Hublot limited edition timepieces. Loic Biver, General Manager of Hublot Greater China, together with Shannon Lee, founder of the Bruce Lee Foundation and Bruce Lee’s daughter, cut the ribbon of the new store, and launched the Spirit of Big Bang Bruce Lee Be Water Limited Edition as a tribute to the Kung Fu superstar.

Hublot SKP Beijing boutique adheres to the brand-specific distinguished black color, and its design concept combines luxury with innovation, creating a premier and modern customer experience. Inside the store, the dark gray carpet and the black leather furniture combined with the glass and metal counters create a contemporary environment. Scientific and technological elements are added in the window display, telling the story of the brand that connects its past with the future, with the unique projections on a book with light and shadows. Big Bang, Classic Fusion, King Power, Manufacture Pieces and novelties are all displayed together.

The exhibition displays personal items belonging to Bruce Lee. They include a Tang-style Kung Fu jacket that carries the martial arts spirit of Bruce Lee, a genuine copy of the “Way of the Dragon” script, a replica of the life mask of Kato in “The Green Hornet“, and the business card for the Bruce Lee Martial Arts Studio founded by Bruce Lee.

Additionally, thanks to its innovative approach, guests can experience the « Bruce Lee Mirror”, a cylindrical glass photo frame featuring Bruce Lee’s classic kung fu postures. Made of glass fragments, it plays on 3D special effects, integrating the Hublot Unico In-House chronograph movement and Bruce Lee in the same time and space. There is also a display of the most representative classic photos of Bruce Lee selected by the Foundation. Hublot adopts the ultramodern design to present the watch images in six external showcases, symbolizing the heritage of Bruce Lee’s spirit and his iconic martial arts philosophy.
