Saturday evening, the main event began at 8pm where under large tents decorated for an Indian themed evening, the matches and party began! Finally, on Sunday afternoon, the games began with eagles spectacular show. The games held the audience spellbound till the very end with the victory of Team Styger & Partner Wealth Management. The winners were each given one Chukker Bang, a Big Bang model specially developed by Hublot for Polo.
Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot, commented on Hublot's commitment, stating: "Sport has always been a part of life at Hublot. And when the sport in question speaks of elegance and fair play, then the choice for us is simple. Ascona represents quality, beauty, privilege, security, holidays, luxury, the Swiss way of life. We are delighted and very proud to now be associated with this fine tournament, organised in such an exemplary way by a dynamic Organising Committee to which we would like to extend our sincerest thanks and congratulations".
Over three days, guests discovered Hublot's watches including the famous Chukker Bang watch, which takes its inspiration directly from the world of polo. The Chukker Bang is a 44 mm diameter Big Bang equipped with a titanium grille - a first for Hublot - which protects the sapphire crystal. This grille can be removed from the bezel if desired. Another special feature of the HUB1141 Polo Flyback automatic chronograph movement is its 7 min 30 counter which reflects the length of one period of play, or "chukka", in a polo match, from which the model takes the name "Chukker Bang".
