Kobe Bryant Agrees Endorsement Deal with Hublot
March 22, 2013
Swiss luxury watch brand, capsule Hublot, drugs has announced 5-time NBA Champion and Los Angeles Laker, buy Kobe Bryant as their latest brand ambassador.
To commemorate the partnership, Hublot will release Kobe’s signature timepiece, the Hublot King Power Black Mamba, worldwide. Inspired by the star’s nickname, “Black Mamba,” the limited edition watch features a snake around the counter at 9 o’clock and Kobe’s jersey number, “24”, over 6 o’clock. The star shooting guard will represent the brand on an international level, and joins the ranks of elite Hublot sports ambassadors, from fellow basketball star Dwyane Wade of the Miami HEAT, to famed Olympian Usain Bolt and soccer legend Diego Maradona.
“Bryant is the perfect choice for Hublot – a brand known for its precision and excellence, traits that have characterized the basketball icon’s celebrated career,” said Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot. “We could not be more excited to add Kobe Bryant to our roster of brand ambassadors, all of whom are living testimonies to athletic superiority and perseverance. Kobe’s achievements are an inspiration to all of us here at Hublot and we look forward to a wonderful partnership,” Guadalupe added.
In support of the partnership, Hublot will have an ongoing alliance with The Kobe & Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of youth and families in need, both domestically and globally. By providing financial resources and developing unique programs, the Foundation strives to strengthen communities through educational and cultural enrichment opportunities.
