Hublot celebrates Big Bang with Kylian Mbappe and Usain Bolt

Hublot marked the 20th anniversary of its iconic Big Bang model with a memorable evening and first-ever encounter of its ambassadors Kylian Mbappé and Usain Bolt at the Geneva Arena, as part of the Watches & Wonders fair on April 3, 2025

Hublot brought together the international elite of watchmaking, sport, gastronomy, and music to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Big Bang, the watch that revolutionised contemporary Swiss watchmaking. Chefs and brand ambassadors Anne-Sophie Pic, Clare Smyth, Yannick Alléno, Eneko Atxa, and Andreas Caminada boast a combined total of 42 Michelin stars between them; these five culinary masters put on an unprecedented gastronomic performance as they prepared personalised signature dishes created especially for the anniversary. Each chef worked live in their own space, creating culinary delights, which were a treat for the guests’ eyes and taste buds.

Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot, welcomed the guests with a moving speech recounting the Big Bang’s two decades of phenomenal success. The evening continued with a breathtaking performance by master mentalist and friend of the brand, Lior Suchard, who stunned the audience. Among the guests present were a host of Hublot ambassadors and friends, including football champion Kylian Mbappé; the world’s fastest man Usain Bolt; professional sailor and 3 times Vendée Globe finisher, Alan Roura; world champion sprinter, Mujinga Kambundji; and head coaches for the France and Portugal football teams Didier Deschamps and Roberto Martinez. The Geneva-born, New York-based DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Alissia then ignited the room with a vibrant set.
