Proof of Biver's Business Guru status?  0 Comments

Published Tuesday, May 10, 2011 by Harry SK Tan |

 

Just after posting on Biver's article in the FT reporting his new found status as a business guru, I received through the email a report on the new joint venture between Hublot and Manchester United that features a new Big Bang with the logo of the world famous football club on the dial.

While I am not a fan fashion watches or tie-ups such as this, I cannot fault Biver's vision for Hublot in making the brand and its watches synonymous with top spectator sports. Granted that there are many brands linked to sports but as reported in the FT report, it was Biver's vision to corner the football market as the official timekeeper for the key tournaments. Now with a tie in with the world's most watched soccer team - with a huge following in Asia, and potential customers. Biver continues to push the brand forward - seemingly single handed.
