Hublot is once again the Official Timekeeper for the competition in India, one of the key countries for the sport. As the first luxury watch brand to partner with the ICC, Hublot will be present on the score display boards as well as in all stadium VIP facilities.
ICC World Twenty20 is the premium international Twenty20 competition. In total, 58 matches—35 men’s and 23 women’s—will take place between 16 teams, over 27 days, from 8 March until 3 April 2016, in India.
Hublot will be paying particular attention to the performance of the Australian team because Michael Clarke, a Hublot ambassador, was previously the Australian team captain.
To celebrate this sport and this competition, Hublot has created a new Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph edition dedicated to cricket. The watch features on its dial four distinctive signs making direct reference to cricket: the hands of the two counters in the shape of a bat, and, at 12 o’clock, a triple applique referring to the stumps that are placed on the wicket, which designates one of the two sets of 3 wooden posts defended by the batsmen on the pitch. On the back is affixed the ICC World Twenty20 symbol in a decal on the sapphire glass. The ensemble is completed by a strap in blue calfskin stitched onto black rubber with triple saddle stitching in the style of a cricket ball.
