LONDON, Aug. 14 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

- Official announcement made to mark the London club's first league match at

Stamford Bridge.  

- Hublot is Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the prestigious Chelsea

Football Club

The "Blues" are now on Hublot time! The Swiss watch brand has become the

Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the prestigious Chelsea Football

Club. They are the reigning English Premier League champions, and one of the

most successful clubs in England. They are also part of the very small circle

of clubs, along with Ajax Amsterdam, Bayern Munich and Juventus - all 3 Hublot

partners - to have won all 3 European cups.

The partnership was announced following the first league game of the new season

at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, and will see Hublot develop a visible presence

in the stadium on the LED score display screens, as well as through the

numerous clocks installed in key areas around the site.

It is an honour and a privilege for the Swiss watch brand to team up with this

club boasting such a great record of success. There is much more to link Hublot

and Chelsea than the fact that they are both among the elite in their fields.

They share the same values: an authentic passion in their respective fields,

commitment to perfection and technical precision.

Chelsea FC plays at Stamford Bridge, and the team is managed by Jose Mourinho,

who has been a Hublot Ambassador since 2014.

Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO, commented: "It is an honour for us to welcome

the iconic Chelsea FC to the Hublot family. What could be more natural for us

than to team up with one of the best clubs in England, which furthermore is

managed by a Hublot Ambassador and friend, Jose Mourinho? We wish the club all

the best for the 2015 - 2016 season."

Christian Purslow, Managing Director of Chelsea Football Club declared: "Thanks

to this partnership, Hublot is continuing to reinforce its presence in the

world of top-class football. We are delighted that Hublot is joining Chelsea

Football Club's group of world-class partners. As the first luxury brand to

invest in football back in 2006, Hublot has an illustrious history and

reputation, and shares our values and a commitment to excellence. We look

forward to working closely together around the globe as we continue to develop

our respective businesses."
