A few years ago, it would have seemed odd to link a Swiss luxury watch brand with football. Watchmaking is an intricate craft that demands exceptional skill and precision. Pairing it with football might seem like diluting its prestige. However, football has long held a high status in the global culture, making such collaborations unexpected yet increasingly common.
For those who aren't fans of football, watching the World Cup can be a painful experience. Add the time difference, and many people find themselves missing their favorite TV shows or movies because they're airing during the matches. The screen suddenly fills with a large green ball, signaling the start of another exciting game. As a result, television channels are heavily impacted during the World Cup, with most content being replaced by live matches.
This presents a huge opportunity for watch brands to gain visibility. For those who love watches but aren’t into football, it's hard to voice their preferences when the entire screen is filled with football action. No fan wants to hear about mechanical complexities while the game is on. So, even if some people don’t like football, they’re still exposed to the sport’s energy and excitement.
This World Cup, we noticed that many top referees and players are endorsing brands. Hublot is a perfect example of this trend. It’s clear that the World Cup has become a powerful platform for brands to connect with millions of fans. We’ve also observed a growing momentum—recently, several Swiss watch brands have followed Hublot’s lead, entering the football space. This shift is different from traditional sports like golf or horse racing, where brands often use these events to highlight their own image rather than align with the sport itself.
In short, a brand’s choice of event should reflect its identity. Just as a diving watch must showcase precision and water resistance, a luxury watch brand entering football must ensure its message aligns with the sport’s spirit.
Yu-ship has taken the lead in this area, and other brands are quickly following. From Bulgari’s limited edition watches in Brazil to Tissot’s green and white World Cup-themed models, there are clear signs of competition. This fierce rivalry means that once a brand finds a niche, others won’t hesitate to jump in, much like hounds chasing a scent.
So, will more watch manufacturers enter the football arena? It’s not the main question. What matters is which brand will stand out and ultimately capture the public’s desire to buy. The race is on, and the next big winner could be just around the corner.
