When I heard that Manchester United would be down again in KL this year.. I wasted no time. I got onto my superbly smartphone and started asking my follow Manchester United mates, if the news of them down was true.. and where they going to be visiting.
of course the best place to search was here ^_^ the Official Manchester United site..
For anyone who is a footie fan, you would know that Manchester United has made football history. They’ve been crowned Champions yet once again for the English Premier League or rather the Barclays Premier League. This is the 19th trophy and it’s a very significant one as they have beaten long time competitors Liverpool to their 19th title… Take it from me it’s a big deal!
And because they won… They were going around Asia for the “CHAMP19NS TROPHY TOUR” – not to be mistaken with the Champions league mind you.I love how smart they are in using the number 19 to replace the alphabets IO in the word Champion! ^_^
I found out that Edwin Van Der Sar – yes our legendary Goalkeeper who had just retired from the game 
- was going to be at Starhill for the meet-and-greet sessions at closed sponsor events in the city for TM and Hublot.
Missed out on the event? That’s ok i got a video for it ^_^
Here are more shots from the event. Really wish Van Der Sar would stay for another season, but all good things must come to an end. While there were a number of fans in the crowd, i was a bit surprised that the media that were sent for the day, didn’t watch or know much about football. Only one journalist out there asked relevant questions pertaining to what Manchester United would now do since Van Der Sar has decided to step down from his role as goalkeeper. There was one in particular that kept asking questions about the World Cup…. -_- ngehhhh?? Shouldn’t you be asking question relating with the club???
Anywaysssssss… Lets take a look again at the CHAMP19NS Trophy!
MANCHESTER UNITED HOLDS CHAMPIONS TROPHY TOUR IN ASIA HUBLOT PRESENTS KING POWER RED DEVIL IN KUALA LUMPUR
Manchester United, Barclays Premier League Champions, and Swiss watch luxury brand, Hublot hosted a reception at the Hublot Boutique, as part of
the Club’s twelve days Champions Trophy Tour of Asia. Manchester United’s legendary star, Edwin Van der Sar accompanied the trophy during the stopover in Kuala Lumpur. As THE official timekeeper and long term partner of Manchester United, Hublot shows its highest respect to the Club and congratulates them on their historic 19th English league title which they gained in May 2011.
A club with an exceptional record and iconic players, this legendary soccer team boasts over 132 years of history during which time they have won 36 major trophies. Since 1878, Manchester United has crystallized the world’s passion for soccer. The team, an embodiment of great ambitions, has partnered with Hublot, their official timekeeper since 2008. A huge Hublot clock tower welcomes visitors and supporters at the main entrance at Old Trafford Stadium.
In tribute to this fantastic partnership, Hublot has developed three limited editions : Red Devil Bang I in black ceramic with only 500 pieces, Red Devil Bang II in red gold with only 100 pieces, and in 2011, the newly launched King Power Red Devil in Ceramic and King Gold. These three models are equipped with a 45-minute chronograph movement especially designed for counting down each half of a football game and incorporate the slightly rebellious Red Devils emblem on the dial.
The King Power Red Devil is equipped for the first time with a chronograph movement distinguished by two centre chronograph hands. This makes for better readability – quicker and more efficient. The wearer can keep track of both hands at a glance; the first indicates the seconds, and the other hand, specially developed for football, indicates the time elapsed out of the 45 minutes in each half.
With a sapphire dial, the movement – here in an Aero Bang version – has also undergone new skeleton working, leaving it more open to reveal even more of the working parts of the watch and its fine mechanics. The topside retains only the material necessary for it to function. This is coated with black ruthenium for a beautiful overall effect of homogeneity, and clearer reading. Predominantly red, the minute track, a time counter at 9 o’clock and a date window
at 4 o’clock round off the piece, stamped with the famous, slightly rebellious Red Devils emblem at 3 o’clock. In a nod to Old Trafford’s more than one hundred year-old turf, the focus of all attention, the watch indexes come in a natural grass-green colour, obtained using real blades of grass from Old Trafford, picked and preserved especially by the club’s grounds men for the making of this limited series. It took Hublot 6 months of development to stabilise the plant material and its original colour, including against UV and temperature differences. The freeze-dried blades of grass were inserted into the indexes through an all-new process, and then coated with a special transparent lacquer to secure them permanently.
The King Power case – 48 mm in diameter and here in micro-blasted black ceramic or in 18K King Gold – has been revamped. Its two push-buttons have been redesigned, and are now each protected by a little safety bar, which is completely built in either side of the crown. Moreover, in a final reference to the legendary club and bringing a last aesthetic touch to the piece, the black rubber strap has a red line in the center, directly inspired by Manchester United’s graphic charter.
This limited edition is produced in 500 numbered pieces for the micro-blasted black ceramic version and in 250 pieces for the King Gold 18K version. Every watch is accompanied by a certificate guaranteeing its authenticity, signed personally by Sir Alex Ferguson.
