RAPAPORT... Hublot appointed golf pro Justin Rose as its newest brand ambassador. Rose, who currently holds 17 titles worldwide, including the 2013 U.S. Open, is the first professional golfer to join Hublot's list of other brand representatives, including Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Pele and Usain Bolt.
Hublot of America's managing director, Jean-Francois Sberro, appointed Rose during a charity event with clients and the media at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California -- the course for the PGA Tour's Farmers Insurance Open that will take place from February 5 to 8.
Ricardo Guadalupe, the CEO of Hublot, said, "It is an honor to add a world famous professional golfer to our esteemed roster of brand ambassadors, all of whom are inspirations to both Hublot and our clients. Justin's astounding achievements through his perseverance and commitment to his celebrated career have made him a great fit for Hublot and we look forward to this exciting partnership." Rose said, "I am thrilled to be joining Hublot as their newest ambassador, a brand I have long had an affinity for. To welcome Hublot into the game I love so much is truly an honor. Much like the mechanics of Hublot's watches, I work tirelessly to ingrain precise movements in my swing, I look forward to representing Hublot as I continue my pursuit of excellence on the global stage." Rose established his golf career in 1998 at the British Open, became the third-ranked worldwide player in 2013, is a six-time PGA Tour Champion and holds seven victories on the European Tour.
