- For the second time in the club's history, Chelsea has won the UEFA Champions 
League. Hublot, involved in soccer sponsorship for the past 15 years, is proud 
of its close ties with the club and its outstanding performance.

It's the type of all-round partnership Hublot likes best: warm-hearted, 
full-orbed, and unrestricted, with club and watchmaker each able to rely on the 
other. On Saturday 29 May 2021, English side Chelsea FC reached the pinnacle of 
European football, beating Manchester City to claim their second UEFA Champions 
League victory. The win has sealed the sacred union between Hublot and the 
legendary club, which pulled off a unique and original game on Saturday to 
clinch the top spot. 

Hublot and Chelsea FC share the same philosophy by virtue of the fact that they 
inhabit similar worlds and are imbued with the same values. Hublot's story has 
been inextricably interwoven with the beautiful game for exactly 15 years: in 
2006, the Nyon-based firm announced its passion for soccer with the memorable 
slogan "Hublot Loves Football," and embraced the sport in a way no other brand 
had previously. 

That could have been Hublot's final say – but in fact, it was only just getting 
started. Hublot went on to become the Official Timekeeper for all major UEFA 
competitions, and became a partner of Chelsea FC that same year – 2015. In 
2016, 2017, and 2019, the manufacture scored a hat-trick of models specially 
designed for the "Blues," as Chelsea fans call their side. To kick off, there 
was a Classic Fusion Chronograph in 2016, followed at "half time" (2017) by a 
special Big Bang Chelsea, before a return to the original legend with a 
second-half thriller for 2019, the Classic Fusion Chronograph Chelsea FC. This, 
the most recent limited edition to date, gave pride of place to ceramic – 
fittingly coloured blue in the club's honour. 

Hublot has not stopped there, either. Having announced that it was becoming the 
official timekeeper for the UEFA Champions League as a whole in 2015, in 2020 
the firm released the Classic Fusion AeroFusion Chronograph UEFA Champions 
League, a limited edition of 100 pieces in blue ceramic. Today, the story has 
come full circle. In addition to Hublot being a key partner of a European-level 
association and of its foremost competition, bringing together the best 
European clubs, it is also the partner of what is now the continent's most 
celebrated team: "champion of the champions" Chelsea FC. 

"The spirit that guides our partnership with Chelsea is just the same as with 
any good team on the ground: we commit to a relationship of trust, for the long 
term. We weather hard times together, learn from them, and go on to win. Hublot 
has gone further than ever before in Fine Watchmaking, just as Chelsea has 
overcome every obstacle on the road to becoming Europe's top champion. 
Together, we've worked on our technique and pushed back our limits. Together, 
our fans have propelled us into the soccer firmament. They were there for us – 
back at long last in a stadium, and roaring with passion right through until 
the final whistle, carrying Chelsea to the top. Hublot loves Chelsea!" - 
Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of HUBLOT

HUBLOT 

Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is defined by its innovative concept, 
which began with the highly original combination of gold and rubber. This "Art 
of Fusion" stems from the imagination of its visionary Chairman, Jean-Claude 
Biver, and has been driven forward by CEO Ricardo Guadalupe since 2012. 

The release of the iconic, multi-award-winning Big Bang in 2005 paved the way 
for new flagship collections (Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang), with 
complications ranging from the simple to the highly sophisticated, establishing 
the extraordinary DNA of the Swiss watchmaking house and ensuring its 
impressive growth. 

Keen to preserve its traditional and cutting-edge expertise, and guided by its 
philosophy to "Be First, Different and Unique," the Swiss watchmaker is 
consistently ahead of the curve, through its innovations in materials 
(scratch-resistant Magic Gold, ceramics in vibrant colours, sapphire), and the 
creation of Manufacture movements (Unico, Meca-10, Tourbillon). 

HUBLOT is fully committed to creating a Haute Horlogerie brand with a visionary 
future: a future which is fused with the key events and brands of our times 
(FIFA World Cup™, UEFA Champions League™, UEFA EURO™) and the finest 
ambassadors our era has to offer (Kylian Mbappé, Usain Bolt, Pelé).
