Hublot MP 05 LaFerrari Companion Watch

Every exotic supercar deserves a companion watch, a watch that is developed keeping the same design philosophy in mind and a watch that is only meant for those who own the specific car. The Bugatti Veyron has a companion watch for example. So does the McLaren F1. The Enzo, however, did not have one, but its successor LaFerrari does.

The watch, MP 05, is the work of Hublot and some might say it looks better than even the LaFerrari. The level of engineering that has gone into the making of Hublot MP 05 (clearly seen) is astounding. Details and video in the gallery below.

Neither Ferrari nor Hublot has said how much the MP 05 will cost. Our educated is, money enough to buy a entry level Ferrari sports car.
