World Champion Kylian Mbappé paid a visit to the Hublot watch Manufacture in Nyon
The football star, Hublot ambassador and watch enthusiast visited the workshops at the Manufacture in order to discover the techniques used to construct Hublot watches. With a keen interest in the manufacture, design and assembly of timepieces, the star footballer was able to learn the secrets behind Hublot models straight from the master watchmakers themselves. Kylian Mbappé’s passion for the manufacture of timepieces also led him to meet Hublot employees and witness the different specialisations required to ensure a watch manufacture operates efficiently.
I have been passionate about watchmaking for many years. And now, as a Hublot ambassador, the opportunity to delve into the secrets of a watch manufacture was one I just couldn’t resist. I was amazed at the Hublot teams and their ability to propel traditional expertise into the future thanks to cutting edge techniques. It was a fascinating experience that I will never forget!

Football world champion and Hublot ambassador
It is always a pleasure to share our enthusiasm for watchmaking as well as our research into new materials with our visitors. It is even more of a pleasure when we welcome a visitor who is as endearing as our ambassador Kylian Mbappé. An enthusiast with an insatiable curiosity!

HUBLOT
Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is defined by its innovation, 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 of our times (FIFA World CupTM, UEFA Champions League, UEFA EUROTM) and the finest ambassadors our era has to offer (Chiara Ferragni, Pelé, Kylian Mbappé, Usain Bolt, Novak Djokovic).
