BAYERN MUENCHEN used to be with Ebel. But right before Valentine Days, the most successful football club in Germany suddenly came up with a new partner: Hublot! The latter is a familiar name in football that seems to have ambition to ‘conquer’ Europe. A few months ago, the Swiss watchmaking company took over Netherland by [...]
Following “Hublot + Ferrari” a few weeks ago, here comes another “Swiss + Italian” partnership. The iconic high-end watch maker based in La Chaux-de-Fonds Switzerland since 1791, GIRARD-PERREGAUX has just supported the most popular Italian and classical singer in the world, ANDREA BOCELLI on the launch of his new foundation, with a 2011 Benefit Gala [...]
As Hublot joined forces with martial artist Jet Li, then RICHARD MILLE got Jacky Chan. The latter Swiss premium watch company has just unveiled its bright-colored wristwatch to support Jackie Chan’s “Dragon’s Heart Foundation”.
Designed by the Hong Kong-born super star, JACKY CHAN and Richard Mille’s artistic director, Mélanie Treton-Monceyron, the RM 055 JC Tourbillon incorporates [...]
André Villas-Boas is the new brand ambassador of Franck Muller. The Portuguese football manager and the Swiss complicated watch-making company signed the deal on June 17, 2011.

We had seen José Mourinho wearing Franck Muller Watch in year 2009; but starting from December 2010, no other brand would be on his wrist but the deLaCour Watches; at least for several years ahead. The Swiss watch company based in Geneva has chosen the Portuguese football manager – and the current manager of Real [...]
Rolex Milgauss definitely has a lightning bolt as its second hand; but it couldn’t allure the fastest man on earth USAIN BOLT to choose the timepiece to be on his wrist. Even though he got nickname “Lightning Bolt” – which would match perfectly with the Milgauss’ lightning bolt, the Jamaican sprinter star prefers other Swiss [...]
Even though a football team has its official wristwatches doesn’t mean the players will always get loyal with the brand. For instance, the world’s most expensive player Cristiano Ronaldo had rather worn Corum Watch on his wrist than his team’s official watch – Real Madrid’s Ebel or Manchester United’s Hublot; and so does the FIFA [...]
As usual, wristwatch trend this year will be defined by two important events in Switzerland: SIHH (Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie) 2010 which has been run in Geneva, 18th – 22nd of January 2010, and Baselworld 2010 which will be held on 18th – 25th of March 2010 in Basel. After all, trend has [...]
I’ve covered Hublot All Black series a few months ago. Apparently, the company is not the only one which produces such All-Black timepieces. There are still more. One of them is the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer PIERRE DEROCHE which recently launches its SPLITROCK MDA FULL BLACK WATCH. But unlike its name suggest, black is not [...]
