Considered one of the world's best footballers, Kylian Mbappe is in the prime

of his life, a living embodiment of passion, success and the power of dreams.

Multidisciplinary creative director Ezra Petronio captures the player's

excellence, applying an uncompromising, timeless yet contemporary aesthetic

that eschews ostentation in the latest Hublot advertising campaign. The global

player Mbappe, renowned for his sporting intelligence, spirit and dedication,

is a true icon of world football; and yet, it was on the intensity of his

direct gaze and his openness that the internationally-acclaimed photographer

chose to focus for the new campaign.

Mbappe, Ezra and Hublot are united by shared values including a long-standing

respect for creativity, work, integrity and the quest for perfection.

"It was an honour to pose for Ezra as he worked to capture the person I really

am. I love simplicity, and the beauty of lasting things that have soul." -

KYLIAN MBAPPE, INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALLER

"One of the brand's ambassadors, Kylian is universally respected for his

excellence on the pitch and his humility off it. Ezra is a seeker of perfection

whose unique signature is a creative vision that finds inspiration in all areas

of the creative arts. Their shared ethos reflects the Hublot philosophy, and we

were delighted to bring them together for this campaign." - RICARDO GUADALUPE,

HUBLOT CEO

"What I love more than anything when creating a portrait is to capture that

spark that is unique to each one of us – whatever that may be. And to evoke

emotion in the viewer so that nothing can distract the gaze from the essence of

the subject.

"What fascinates me about Kylian – apart from his creativity, virtuosity and

the perfection of his art – is his passion, his intelligence and the inner

strength that drives him." - EZRA PETRONIO, CREATIVE DIRECTOR

HUBLOT

Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is defined by its innovation, which

began with the highly original combination of gold and rubber. This "Art of

Fusion" stems from the imagination of its visionary Chairman, Jean-Claude

Biver, and has been driven forward by CEO Ricardo Guadalupe since 2012.

The release of the iconic, multi-award-winning Big Bang in 2005 paved the way

for new flagship collections (Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang), with

complications ranging from the simple to the highly sophisticated, establishing

the extraordinary DNA of the Swiss watchmaking house and ensuring its

impressive growth.

Keen to preserve its traditional and cutting-edge expertise, and guided by its

philosophy to "Be First, Different and Unique", the Swiss watchmaker is

consistently ahead of the curve, through its innovations in materials

(scratch-resistant Magic Gold, ceramics in vibrant colours, sapphire), and the

creation of Manufacture movements (Unico, Meca-10, Tourbillon).

HUBLOT is fully committed to creating a Haute Horlogerie brand with a visionary

future: a future which is fused with the key events of our times (FIFA World

Cup™, UEFA Champions League, UEFA EURO™) and the finest ambassadors our era has

to offer (Chiara Ferragni, Pelé, Kylian Mbappe, Usain Bolt, Novak Djokovic).
