THE TIME WAS RIGHT – JEANRICHARD PARTNER ARSENAL WINS FA CUP 2014
JEANRICHARD congratulates partner Arsenal Football Club on the glorious victory in the world’s oldest football competition – the English FA Cup 2014 – and is proud to have accompanied them as Global Partner and Official Watch on their way to the title. Arsenal FC has won their 11th FA Cup title against Hull City FC on May 17th, 2014 at Wembley Stadium in London.
“We are very happy for Arsenal and would like to congratulate them on such a successful season and especially this Cup victory”, said Bruno Grande, Managing Director of JEANRICHARD. “The team has fought to the last minute for this extraordinary accomplishment and we are already now looking forward to continuing this exciting partnership next season and celebrate even more success with the Gunners.”
Football, just like watchmaking, is a Philosophy of Life. Team spirit, dedication and passion are common values; joining fans, players, collectors, watchmakers and everyone involved in the history and pioneering spirit of both JEANRICHARD and Arsenal on one common ground. It was therefore a natural decision that both organisations embarked on a new journey together beginning in January 2014.
JEANRICHARD has been one of the first luxury watchmakers to support football on an international level starting with its Italian venture in 2003. As a Global Partner as well as “Official Watch” of Arsenal, it has been supporting the Gunners on their ventures leading up to the Cup victory this season.
Alongside significant presence within the stadium on match days, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer has unveiled a special as well as a limited edition “Arsenal” watch at Baselworld 2014, to drive the success of this partnership on all levels.
The first of the specially designed Arsenal pieces is a unique version of the Terrascope watch with the Arsenal logo, a cannon, printed at 6 o’clock. The second watch created for the Gunners is a limited edition of the Aeroscope Chronograph with a small seconds hand at 3 o’clock, which is moulded in the shape of the club’s iconic cannon. This special edition is numbered and consisting of just 250 pieces worldwide.
