FIFA WORLD CUP™ 2010 in South Africa is about to begin less than 100 days from now. World Cup 2014 in Brazil? Well, it’s still more than thousand days. Anyway, if you watch the football matches on those next two events, you will then see a famous brand on the referee’s board when they show substitutions or stoppage (added) time. It’s “HUBLOT”!
The Swiss watch company has just signed a prestigious contract that makes it the “Official Timekeeper” of those largest televised events in the world as well as the Official Watchmaker of FIFA (The Fédération Internationale de Football Association).
