RISE & SET teamed up with Hublot and its partner, the world-renowned French football club, Paris Saint-Germain F.C. (PSG), to debut the team’s custom Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde in conjunction with, and celebration of, the club’s North America summer tour in 2015. Held at one of the most spectacular and coveted settings in New York City (the team’s first US stop), Hublot’s U.S. Managing Director, Jean-Francois Sberro,hosted an exclusive cocktail event with the team at a private rooftop garden atop the historic Rockefeller Center to launch the collaborative timepiece. Star players in attendance included Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Blaise Matuidi, and Thiago Silva, as well as Kevin Trapp. The night celebrated French culture, including music by French DJ, Olivier Meiji, and a live art demonstration by French artist, JonOne. As a surprise to guests, PSG players also helped to create a one-of a-kind painting on canvas with the help of the artist. To top it off, guests enjoyed desserts made by the team and cult pastry chef, Dominique Ansel.
