Hublot loves football,
an unwavering bond
La Cote des Montres - April 13th, 2023

 
 
For the best part of a decade, the Swiss watch manufacturer has been making its mark on the pitch at UEFA Europa League matches as the Official Licensed Watch. In collaboration with the European football governing body, Hublot presents the Classic Fusion Chronograph UEFA Europa League Ceramic. This second piece to bear the championship’s colours has been produced in a limited edition of 100 pieces. Presented in a lightweight, unalterable, stain-resistant, and ultra-tough material that is scratch-proof except for the diamond, the Ceramic.

 
As the seconds counter reaches 3 o’clock, the silver and orange hands—symbolising strength and endurance—echo the hues of the trophy, and are set against the black background of the 42 mm dial and case. Driven by the HUB1153 self-winding chronograph movement, the piece is mounted on an unalterable, lined rubber strap.

 
This partnership with UEFA—which was initially established in 2015 for the two prestigious UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League tournaments—was extended to all its international and club competitions for both men’s and women’s football in 2019. Since then, in the hands of the 4th referee, the eyes of the spectators follow the announcements of added time and player substitutions on the Hublot 4th official board.

 
“The UEFA Europa League is a real launch pad. It is always full of excitement and surprises for fans, as the winning team then qualifies for the UEFA Champions League. We are delighted and proud to strengthen our relationship with UEFA through the launch of the Classic Fusion Chronograph UEFA Europa League Ceramic. Becoming an official UEFA partner in 2015 was a great honour and privilege: we predicted then that our partnership would last, and time has proven us right.”
Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot


The unconditional commitment to the game of football acknowledges the values of technical mastery, passion, excellence and perseverance that are all shared by Hublot. Ever since its first partnership with the Swiss national team in 2006, it has continued to flourish and expand across all levels of the sport. This commitment forms part of the history that the watchmaker shares with the players, coaches and top clubs, as well as budding new talent, governing bodies and key events in this sport that is adored throughout the world.

About Hublot
 

The “Art of Fusion” 
 

Hublot is a Swiss watch manufacturer founded in 1980 and based in Nyon. For its first ever timepiece, this fundamentally disruptive company combined gold with a rubber strap in a case with a design inspired by a ship’s porthole (hublot in French). Thus, the Art of Fusion was born, blending tradition, innovation, craftsmanship, worlds and talents. It became the brand’s aesthetic and technical signature.

This identity was strengthened in 2005 with the Big Bang, which attested to an unrivalled know-how in terms of complications, manufacture movements and state-of-the-art materials. Carbon, titanium, ceramic and sapphire have been developed on this model to technical extremes.

This ground-breaking, high-quality approach to watchmaking is summed up in its philosophy “Be First, Unique and Different.” It gradually led to other collections with innovative designs: Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang, Square Bang and Manufacture Pieces. These draw on high levels of craftsmanship, both in terms of the materials so dear to Hublot (such as Magic Gold, brightly-coloured ceramics and sapphires) and its manufacture movements (Unico chronograph, Meca-10 and large complications such as the Tourbillon, the Cathedral Minute Repeater and the specific Manufacture Pieces movements).

Hublot’s world extends to powerful partnerships including football. “Hublot Loves Football” as become the slogan at the world’s biggest sporting events (such as the FIFA World Cup™, Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA EURO™) and through its ambassadors. This love of football continues in art, design, music, sport, fine dining and sailing. Lastly, Hublot’s implication in joint environmental projects with SORAI and Polar Pod reflects its concern for the issues of the day. Almost 130 boutiques around the world share Hublot’s fervour and values, alongside the Hublot.com e-commerce site.
