Hublot recently brought the two legends together for the very first time, marking the passing of the baton and a moment of recognition between the greatest player of all time and the most promising hope in world football. King Pele, a Hublot ambassador since 2013, has crossed the Atlantic to meet Kylian Mbappe, the watch brand's newest ambassador, for a truly historic and moving encounter, as per an official release.“Hublot opens a new chapter in football history by bringing Pele and Kylian Mbappe together for this momentous encounter. The paths of these two men show uncanny similarities. Is this chance, or fate? There are 60 years between Pele's first World Cup and that of Mbappe. However, the impact of these two players on the history and love of football remains absolute. Pele and Mbappe are two timeless, devoted and esteemed symbols of the world's most unifying sport, two generations with shared values: Humility, Generosity, Perseverance,” says the release.Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO Hublot, has been quoted as saying, in the release, «The generosity of Pele and Kylian can be seen in their eyes, as can their love for football. This flame, this inextinguishable strength, is what drives these two great champions. They are inspiring new generations of footballers and writing the history of football, so it was perfectly natural to bring them together. Having them in our family is a great source of pride and pleasure, because before being football stars; they are, above all, great men who command respect.»Pele, on the other hand, has been quoted as saying, in the release, «I am honored to have the opportunity to personally meet Kylian. He embodies the new generation of footballers and espouses the values of a sport that inspires and unites the world. I am happy that he symbolises hope; the hope that anything is possible, for the dreams we must believe in and fight for, regardless of our origins or our social status.»Mbappe says, as per the release, «I have learned that the biggest stars and the best players are the most humble and respectful, those who are able to keep their feet on the ground. Respect, humility, and lucidity are values that my parents passed down to me and they are the values that I am proud to now share with my adopted family, Hublot, and King Pele.»Find the Hublot universe at  the brand’s network of boutiques located in key cities across the globe: Geneva, Paris, London, New York, Hong Kong, Dubai, Tokyo, Singapore, and online.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the event https://www.blouinartinfo.com/              Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
