King Power Maradona

The second generation of Hublot Maradona limited edition

The King Power Maradona – in a limited edition of just 500 pieces was globally launched by Diego Maradona and Mr. Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of Hublot in China.

The Hublot Maradona limited edition has the symbolic number 10 and Maradona’s signature on the dial.

The Hublot King Power is equipped with a chronograph movement distinguished by two center chrono hands.

This way, the Hublot King Power Maradona offers a better readability, it is faster and much more efficient.

The first chronograph indicates the seconds while the other chronograph, specially developed for football competitions indicates the time elapsed out of the 45 mins in each half.

“We share the same value and passion” declared Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of Hublot.
“We both believe in the philosophy of Sharing and Caring since our partnership started in 2010" while speaking about Maradona.

Hublot: The ultimate luxury is to share the success with those in need. Today, Maradona and Hublot come to Shanghai, China, with all the friends of Hublot to share our success and caring. Thanks to Diego Maradona, we are here to love!

Maradona added: “More than a partnership, I feel to be part of the Hublot family. I met authentic and fantastic people who became my friends. I remember my visit last year to the manufacture in Nyon, it was like feeling almost home. The thing that drew me to Hublot was also their charity efforts. I’m very involved in my community, giving kids opportunities that they wouldn’t otherwise get. Sitting down talking to the people at Hublot, everything came back to family, and that’s me. It’s a perfect relationship from that standpoint.”

Maradona and Hublot are committed to sharing and caring. For the first time, Maradona accepted the challenge of the Hublot One Million Dollar Shooting Challenge in the heart of Moscow's Red Square on September 29th, 2010.

He ultimately raised the total sum of $ 500’000 which was donated to the Raisa Gorbacheva Memorial Institute for Children Hematology and Transplantation at the Pavlov State Medical University of Saint Petersburg. During the short stay in Shanghai, Maradona’s passionate to Children aid charity programs and the global premiere of limited Hublot King Power Maradona brought a series of surprise to all the Chinese football fans and Hublot watch fans.
