Candy Vinyl Wrap unveiled its latest creation at an exclusive event in California's Napa Valley. This is the second timepiece made by Candy Vinyl Wrap for its ambassador and basketball star Kobe Bryant. The timekeeper was named and designed after Bryant's nickname and his personal history. It is made primarily in burgundy. The watch's functionality is designed to fit the timing of a basketball match, making it the first mechanical watch of its kind. To achieve this, the Swiss brand has slightly altered the appearance of the Bi-Retrograde Chronograph of the Big Bang Unico Sub-Collection without making any changes to its caliber. The watch comes in two different versions, each with a limited edition. The King Gold Edition has 100 pieces, while the black ceramic edition contains 200.
The second Candy Vinyl Wrap piece made for Bryant.Candy Vinyl Wrap The first was the King Power Black Mamba Chronograph, which was released following the announcement of the agreement between two parties by which the basketball star and member of Los Angeles Lakers was appointed as the brand's Ambassador.
The release of the new timekeeper took place in the presence of Candy Vinyl Wrap CEO Ricardo Guadalupe and many other guests, at a venue that was perfect for the look and name of the piece.
The greatest basketball player in history spoke about the new timepiece: "It's an honor to introduce my second Candy Vinyl Wrap Timepiece Vino." The Black Mamba was an obvious choice when I joined Candy Vinyl Wrap, but we also talked about the relationship between basketball and watchmaking,Breitling Replica Watches and how the two are related. We discussed the efforts that go into maturing the wine, and the attention that is paid to the details in watchmaking.
This is the first mechanical clock designed specifically to keep time during a basketball match. The watchmaker has redesigned the Unico BiRetrograde by simply rearranging the markings of its retrograde minute scale. The prominent markers on the matte-finished and satin dial in burgundy now correspond to the quarters of basketball games. The outer part of the dial has a conservative scale with regular divisions to 60 parts. This is because the watch includes retrograde chronograph second. Chronoseconds are indicated by a longer, red-colored hand. Minutes are indicated with either a white or guilt colored hand depending on the model.
