LONDON /PRNewswire/ --
Official announcement made to mark the London club's first league
match at Stamford Bridge
Hublot is Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the
prestigious Chelsea Football Club
The "Blues" are now on Hublot time! The Swiss
watch brand has become the Official Timekeeper and Official Watch
of the prestigious Chelsea Football Club. They are the reigning
English Premier League champions, and one of the most successful
clubs in England. They are also part of the very small circle of
clubs, along with Ajax Amsterdam, Bayern Munich and Juventus - all
3 Hublot partners - to have won all 3 European cups.

The
partnership was announced following the first league game of the
new season at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, and will see Hublot
develop a visible presence in the stadium on the LED score display
screens, as well as through the numerous clocks installed in key
areas around the site.
It is
an honour and a privilege for the Swiss watch brand to team up with
this club boasting such a great record of success. There is much
more to link Hublot and Chelsea than the fact that they are both
among the elite in their fields. They share the same values: an
authentic passion in their respective fields, commitment to
perfection and technical precision.
Chelsea FC plays at Stamford Bridge, and the team is managed by José
Mourinho, who has been a Hublot Ambassador since 2014.
Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO, commented:
"It is an honour for us to welcome the iconic Chelsea FC
to the Hublot family. What could be more natural for us than to
team up with one of the best clubs in England, which furthermore is managed by a Hublot
Ambassador and friend, José Mourinho? We wish the club all the best
for the 2015 - 2016 season."
Christian Purslow, Managing Director
of Chelsea Football
Club declared: "Thanks to this
partnership, Hublot is continuing to reinforce its presence in the
world of top-class football. We are delighted that Hublot is
joining Chelsea Football Club's group
of world-class partners. As the first luxury
brand to invest in football back in 2006, Hublot has an illustrious
history and reputation, and shares our values and a commitment to
excellence. We look forward to working closely
together around the globe as we continue to develop our respective
businesses."
