NBA Superstar Joins the Swiss Luxury Brand to Unveil King Power Black Mamba King Gold
Los Angeles, CA – November 21, 2013 – Luxury Swiss watchmaker, Hublot, welcomed
brand ambassador and 15-Time NBA All-Star, Kobe Bryant, to an exclusive dinner in West
Hollywood, California to unveil the newest edition of the King Power Black Mamba. Inspired
by Bryant’s magnetic personality and celebrated career, the timepiece is a more precious
version of Bryant’s first namesake watch. With a King Gold case surrounded by a black
ceramic bezel, it includes red gold indexes and hands, as well as a silver colored snake
around the counter at 9 o’clock, with Kobe’s jersey number, “24” at 6 o’clock.
Held at the RivaBella Ristorante, Greg Simonian, President of Hublot’s Beverly Hills
boutique, welcomed Bryant and presented him with the newest Hublot timepiece, which will
be available exclusively at the Beverly Hills location. Simonian stated, “I’m so pleased to see
this partnership growing, and look forward to releasing more editions of the King Power
Black Mamba going forward.”
This is the second Los Angeles event the brand has held in conjunction with the Lakers
guard – the partnership was first announced in March 2013 at an event on the rooftop of the
London Hotel West Hollywood where the first limited edition King Power Black Mamba was
released. In addition, Hublot became the first official timekeeper of the illustrious Los
Angeles Lakers in January of this year.
Los Angeles influencers and VIPs joined Kobe and Vanessa Bryant to celebrate and to get a
first look at the two new versions of the timepieces – one in King Gold and one in diamondset
King Gold.
