Hublot Unveils New FIFA World Cup Watch!
Recently we told you about the exciting new partnership between Swiss watch-maker Hublot and the FIFA World Cup (if you missed it you can read all about it here plus check out our exclusive interview with Hublot CEO JC Biver here.) Now Hublot has released the first images of the inaugural, official FIFA World Cup Watch.
Take a look and let us know what you think!
Classic Fusion Between Sport And Luxury
Presented in Hublot’s newly introduced “Classic Fusion” case, the watch is fashioned almost entirely from 18ct pink gold and is luxuriously understated. Keeping with the monotone theme the satin-finished matching pink gold dial features a subtle tone-on-tone drawing of the prestigious FIFA World Cup Trophy at 6 o’clock.
A larger illustration of the world’s most prestigious sports prize is also engraved on the watch’s solid gold case-back, hiding the automatic winding HUB1112 movement from view.
Available in a limited number of just 100 numbered pieces the very first Hublot World Cup watch will be presented on an adjustable black Alligator Gummy strap.
The Final Word
To be honest at first we were a little surprised at just how simple and understated the all new Hublot World Cup timepiece is. However, now that we’ve had a little time to reflect on it we’re really starting to understand and appreciate its appeal, which much like the World Cup itself, is global. The classic design is timeless and at the same time all encompassing, providing the perfect blend of sport and luxury.
Although it may not suit our tastes completely we do think it is a very good first timepiece to celebrate the World Cup.
The question is; what do you think?

What about this idea: Marc Jenni’s watch integrated with this design. Now that would be a cool World Cup timepiece!
Wouldn’t it be great to wear your Hublot World Cup watch while watching the kick-off tomorrow?
