Fine watchmaker Hublot opened its new boutique in Kyoto on August 26 and on September 5, it finally got the true buzz: Hublot Ambassador and record-breaking Olympian medalist Usain “Lightning” Bolt came to a high-profile charity event with kids, held by the Swiss luxury Watch Brand in Japan.
Hublot’s new boutique in Kyoto kick-started with Bolt photographing with kids, followed by a charity run with the athlete and the kids.
Earlier this year, Luxury group LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, owner of Hublot, announced its sales performance for 2016 – the group’s revenue totaled €37.6 billion ($40.3 billion) in 2016 – up 5% year-on-year. Net profit grew 11% to €3.98 billion ($4.3 billion). The group’s TAG Heuer watch brand grew, while Hublot continued its development in Asia and recorded “the best year in its history”.
