The Premier League has announced that Hublot is to become its Official Timekeeper from the start of the 2020/21 season.
As Official Timekeeper for the League, Hublot will time every match pitchside and on TV screens all over the world. The Hublot logo will sit alongside the on-screen graphic showing the match score and time.
As part of the agreement, the Swiss luxury watch company will be represented at every Premier League match via the Hublot Big Bang Unico-shaped referee board that is held up by the fourth official to signal additional time and substitutions.
Premier League referees will also time matches using a Hublot Big Bang luxury smartwatch, which includes goalline technology.
Finally, as official partner of the Premier League Young Player of the Season award, Hublot will be showcasing the best of the exciting young talent in the Premier League.
