Hublot’s Role as Official Timekeeper for the UEFA Euro 2024

The UEFA Euro 2024 has begun, and with it, there is a hum of excitement and questions of “Is it coming home?”. But while we hope for a miracle, we thought it would be interesting to look into a side of the European Championship that often goes unnoticed by the crowds but is absolutely crucial in every game – timekeeping.

Since 2008, Hublot has been the Official Watch of the UEFA Euro. So, as official stockists of Hublot watches, here we are delving into the brand’s role in football, particularly during the 2024 Euros, and exploring how we can help you purchase a Hublot timepiece for the occasion.

The History of Hublot and Football

The relationship between Hublot and football began in 2006 when it became the first luxury watch brand to become involved with the sport. This partnership was built on Hublot’s focus on the search for excellence and the brand’s passion for precision and technique, which align with football strategies.

Since then, Hublot has been made Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of FIFA, UEFA, and several prestigious clubs, with huge footballing names as ambassadors of the brand, including José Mourinho and Kylian Mbappé. There have been many special editions of Hublot watches over time to commemorate the partnership between the well-loved sport and the huge name in watchmaking.

What Is Hublot’s Role as Official Timekeeper?

As an Official Timekeeper, Hublot has a variety of roles within football, for example:

  • The watch brand provides its timepieces to referees, typically the Hublot Big Bang watch.
  • They will time every single match both on the pitch through the Unico-shaped Referee Board and on television screens across the globe via an on-screen Hublot graphic.
  • When it is not football season, Hublot works with ambassadors, as mentioned above, creating campaigns and a buzz around the partnership.

As every second counts in football, precise timekeeping is key. In fact, the brand’s slogan, “Every second counts”, wants to emphasise this crucial aspect.
