The Juventus and Hublot partnership, founded on passion, adrenaline and innovation, has combined to create the latest addition to the Swiss watchmaker's collection.

A special Bi-Retrograde Juventus edition of the iconic Big Bang timekeeper was unveiled exclusively yesterday, with just 100 expected to be available for general sale.

There could only really be one venue up to the task of staging the launch of such an exclusive piece, the Gianni and Umberto Agnelli Club at Juventus Stadium.

With Juventus Legends president David Trezeguet, Head of Global Partnerships and Revenue Giorgio Ricci, Bianconeri stars Andrea Barzagli and Stefano Sturaro and Hublot Italia Brand Director Augusto Capitanucci in attendance, two of the world's most prestigious brands came together last night to write a new chapter in their partnership, now already four years old.

Speaking at the start of the event, Ricci said: 'We're delighted to announce the renewal of our partnership with Hublot that has proven to be a real winning team since its conception in the 2012/13 season.

'This agreement is testament to our joint goals of international growth at the heart of strategic markets around the world and it's an honour to have such a globally recognised name fighting in our corner at the world's most prestigious international sporting events.'
