With more than one billion views over the course of each championship, the FIFA World Cup is the world's most watched sporting event. Hublot served as its official timekeeper for the fourth consecutive time at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and unveiled a special watch ahead of the event to commemorate this edition of the tournament. This timepiece, the Big Bang e FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, is based on the brand's third-generation connected watch, and was worn by all 129 official referees of the event. Just 1,000 pieces of this watch will be produced.
