Hublot creates a special edition to celebrate the 200th
anniversary of the independence of Mexico
Hublot is joining the Mexican people in celebrating the 200th anniversary of their
independence, with a limited edition King Power in the national colours, featuring
the symbol of the "Bell of Dolores" engraved on the case-back.
It was in 1810 that the people of Dolores, led by its priest Miguel Hidalgo y Castillo, started their
rebellion to free themselves from Spanish domination. Calling on the villagers - by ringing the
bells of his parish - to revolt against the colonial grip, he uttered the famous "Cry of Dolores", an
exhortation to fight the Spanish government to win national independence. Without military
experience and armed with improvised weapons, the inhabitants of Dolores triggered a wave of
revolution throughout the country, thereby marking the first crucial step towards its
independence. Now, in 2010, Hublot is paying tribute to these early combatants by creating a
King Power bearing on its dial the colours of Mexico, and whose case-back reproduces an
illustration of the famous "Cry of Dolores", symbolised by the bell that sounded the rallying call
in 1810.
