Both in and out of the ring, Estelle Mossely is a professional boxer whose passion and energy flow from a truly unique character. Her extraordinary career serves as an inspiration for women in sport. The multiple champion seamlessly blends her role as a mother with her preparations for new goals. Because deconstructing prejudice is also one of her mottos. With such a commonality of values, it’s about bringing these truths to light, and Hublot is immensely proud to be welcoming Estelle Mossely into its family.
Estelle Mossely is an athlete with an impressive track record: Multiple French Champion, European Vice-Champion (2014), World Champion (2016), Olympic Champion (2016) and IBO World Champion (2019 – 2023). Her list of achievements is breathtaking. On 19th August 2016 in Rio, Estelle Mossely became the first French female Olympic Boxing Champion since the introduction of the women’s competition in 2012. That same year, she was crowned World Champion in Astana, inanother first for France. “If I had one piece of advice to give, it would be to believe in yourself and work hard. One day, even the biggest dreams will pay off”, she has said. Following these achievements, she dedicated herself to a professional career that has seen 11 victories and one draw in 12 fights.
A woman’s life can flourish in many areas and, for Estelle Mossely, nothing is impossible. During her years as a professional boxer, she gave birth to two children. Nowadays, she combines motherhood with her training and competitions, as a top-level sportswoman with an eye on victory. In her youth, Estelle had enjoyed classical dance and ice skating, but it was boxing – at the time still a male-dominated sport – that really ignited her passion. In 2010, she was in her final year of secondary school when she joined the French national team. Dedicating herself to daily training alongside her studies in engineering, from which she would graduate, her goal was to become Olympic Champion.
Estelle Mossely’s fighting spirit means she will stop at nothing, including a return to Olympic boxing, in which the number of rounds per bout requires rapid, decisive blows that necessitate highly specialised training. Working to combat preconceived ideas, she founded her association, LPERF, to help top-level female athletes manage their careers and overcome the obstacles she herself faced, as well as promoting sport among young people. Drawing on her experience, she works to support, encourage and promote women’s performance, and Hublot is proud to be at her side.
The Hublot family brings together unique personalities who defy convention to better express themselves in a constant quest for excellence. We are delighted that Estelle Mossely, a true modern icon of female empowerment and living passion for boxing, is joining us.
RICARDO GUADALUPE
HUBLOT CEO
Among the great watchmakers, Hublot is a young company that has made a name for itself by combining materials that have not traditionally been used together. Through its approach, it has contributed and continues to contribute to the development of watchmaking. That’s also my ethos. I chose to be a boxer when very few women were involved with the sport, reconciled my life as a woman and an athlete, and founded LPERF so that women could be free to excel. I’m delighted to be joining this exceptional family.
ESTELLE MOSSELY
FRENCH PROFESSIONAL BOXER AND FRIEND OF THE HUBLOT BRAND
HUBLOT
Hublot is a Swiss watch manufacturer founded in 1980 and based in Nyon. For its first ever timepiece, this fundamentally disruptive company combined gold with a rubber strap in a case with a design inspired by a ship’s porthole (hublot in French). Thus, the Art of Fusion was born, blending tradition, innovation, craftsmanship, worlds and talents. It became the brand’s aesthetic and technical signature.
This identity was strengthened in 2005 with the Big Bang, which attested to an unrivalled know-how in terms of complications, manufacture movements and state-of-the-art materials. Carbon, titanium, ceramic and sapphire have been developed on this model to technical extremes.
This ground-breaking, high-quality approach to watchmaking is summed up in its philosophy ‘Be First, Unique and Different.’ It gradually led to other collections with innovative designs: Classic Fusion, Shaped Collection (Spirit of Big Bang, Square Bang) and Manufacture Pieces. These draw on high levels of craftsmanship, both in terms of the materials so dear to Hublot (such as Magic Gold, brightly-coloured ceramics and sapphires) and its manufacture movements (Unico chronograph, Meca-10 and high complications such as the Tourbillon, the Cathedral Minute Repeater and the specific Manufacture Pieces movements).
Hublot’s world extends to powerful partnerships including football. ‘Hublot Loves Football’ has become the slogan at the world’s biggest sporting events (such as the FIFA World CupTM, Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA EUROTM) and through its ambassadors. This love of football continues in art, design, music, sport, fine dining and sailing. Lastly, Hublot’s implication in joint environmental projects with SORAI and Polar Pod reflects its concern for the issues of the day.
Over 135 Boutiques around the world share Hublot’s fervour and values, alongside the Hublot.com e-commerce site.
