To begin the evening, guests were welcomed with flutes of Champagne to sip on while perusing the gorgeous selection of Hublot timepieces, on display in back-lit vitrines at the back of the restaurant. As Edelman made his grand entrance—wearing a Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic Sapphire—he was greeted by his guests, as well as his friends and fellow teammates who came to support him at his event, including New England Patriots‘ Isaiah Wynn, Braxton Berrios and Joe Cardona.
