“The partnership between Hublot and Chelsea FC continues to go from strength to strength,” said Guadalupe. “The new Classic Fusion Chronograph Chelsea FC is the third limited edition created in association with the legendary club. The timepiece embodies the vision of Hublot and Chelsea FC to lead the way in their respective fields. The bold watch is a reflection of the style of football Chelsea FC plays and has been created as a piece fans can wear with pride in support of ‘the Blues’. Hublot has a great partnership with Chelsea FC built over the years and a reflection of our commitment to excellence in football. Next year Hublot will be the Official Timekeeper of the UEFA Euro 2020, an exciting moment for Hublot and European football.”
The magnificent London skyline acted as the background for the joyous occasion at One Blackfriars. This was the first time the space was open to the public. A striking blue light-show and drummers marked the reveal of the new watch.
The emblematic blue of Chelsea FC was draped throughout the event space, coloring the pride of Chelsea FC, its players and fans.

For our fans who are so proud to be a Blue, this design demonstrates that pride perfectly. We’d like to thank Hublot for this special design and their continued partnership.”
