On 16 June 2017, in the heart of Moscow, Hublot inaugurated its new store in the historic Metropol building. It is no coincidence that Hublot chose this precise moment in time. Just 1 year from the FIFA World Cup™, and 1 day from the launch of the FIFA Confederations Cup (from June 17th to July 2nd), on Red Square, the World Cup record-holder Pelé placed his winning touch on time. Together with Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot and Philippe Le Floc’h, CCO of FIFA, he attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony to the sound of a whistle, signalling once again Hublot’s uncompromising commitment to football. From its status as “Official FIFA Watch” of the 2018 World CupTM, “Official FIFA Timekeeper” of the 2017 Confederations Cup and the 2018 World CupTM, its 4th official boards, including a Big Bang watch with straps bearing the colours of the 8 nations of the Confederations Cup, Hublot reigns supreme in timekeeping and football!

In its new almost 120m2 Metropol shop, Hublot brought its friends together to celebrate the 12 months that separate us from the start of the next FIFA World Cup™. Alongside the Swiss watchmaker was football King Pelé, who at just 17 years of age had 6 goals and 1 World Cup title to his name. He is an unrivalled World Champion, being the only triple winner of the tournament to date.
