Who better than celebrities to embody the great watchmaking Houses? A swift tour of their brand ambassadors and the timepieces they hold dear.
Hussein Bolt – HUBLOT
The world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, wears a Hublot timepiece — the Big Bang Unico chronograph in yellow gold. A watch befitting an athlete of his caliber, allowing him to time his sporting performances while embodying the shared values he holds in common with the Swiss watchmaker: courage, dedication, tenacity, and a competitive spirit, all underpinned by an unwavering pursuit of perfection.
Vanessa PARADIS – CHANEL
A sweetheart of the French public ever since the iconic Joe le Taxi, Vanessa Paradis forged a close bond with Chanel early in her career. Dressed as a bird of paradise, whistling inside a cage for a perfume campaign, or seductive with her lips painted in Chanel red, she now flies the colors of the new J12 watch.
Roger Federer – ROLEX
The holder of 20 Grand Slam® titles and a record number of Wimbledon titles, Roger Federer is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Yet for the Swiss champion, tennis has not always been synonymous with victory. It was not until 2009 — the summer his first set of twins was born — that Roger surpassed Pete Sampras's unbroken Grand Slam® record at Wimbledon, finally achieving the milestone he had set for himself. The Rolex he wore that day serves as a lasting reminder of that pivotal summer, one he looks back on with deep emotion.
Zhu Yilong - CHOPARD
Renowned Chinese actor Zhu Yilong wears on his wrist a L.U.C GMT One timepiece, alongside a ring from the Minicube collection set with a CHOPARD diamond. This unisex jewel has captivated clientele — particularly Chinese women — who are eagerly seeking it out. Some will travel as far as Hong Kong or Singapore to acquire one, while others even have the actor's name engraved on the inside of the band.
