Dwayne Wade has had a very busy year. He won his second NBA championship in June, supported the US basketball team in their gold medal win this month (he had an injury otherwise he would have played and received a second gold medal), and then just yesterday before returning home from the Olympics, he visited the Hublot manufacture in Nyon, Switzerland for the first time.

After a helicopter tour of the mountains (the Cervin, the Jungfrau, the Eiger, and Mont-Blanc) he was greeted by Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of Hublot, and Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO. Wade then toured the manufacture where he insisted on meeting with all the watchmakers and employees. Hublot reports that he asked many questions to get a better understanding of how his watch - the King Power Dwanye Wade special edition - is made and how it works.

"I had a great time with the Hublot team and I was really impressed by the precision, the care and incredibly meticulous work of the watchmakers. It is an honor for me to be part of the very select list of the brand's ambassadors and have the opportunity to attend the Hublot workshop in Switzerland," said Dwyane Wade.
