The world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, now has a Swiss watch made in
honour of him, which also features his image. The watch is aptly named
King Power Usain Bolt.
In addition to the
watch's many references to the sprinter, it features an interesting
hallmark: the strap is made from exactly the same leather as the shoes
he wore when he broke world records in Beijing in 2008.
Hublot,
for whom he is an ambassador, has developed this special model in close
consultation with Bolt to mark this monumental year in sport.
The
watch is a fusion of symbols which represent everything about Bolt
starting with his pose - his unique signature - stylised and immediately
recognisable in an anthracite grey transfer on a black background. A
12-hour chronograph counter sits at 6 o'clock, and is decorated with a
touch of green in a nod to the colours on the Jamaican flag.
Bolt,
who turns 25 this year, recently opened his season in style by
completing his first individual 100 metres in a quick 9.82 seconds at
the National Stadium in Kingston, as he prepares to defend three titles
in London this summer: the 100, 200 and 4x100 metres.
