Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games

  • Fencer Edgar Cheung Ka-long, who grabbed Hong Kong’s first gold in the sport, has sported a Tag Heuer Autavia – but golfer Tiffany Chan prefers Audemars Piguet
  • Hublot previously collaborated with former New York Yankees pitcher Tanaka to release the Hublot Aero Bang MT88 Masahiro Tanaka Edition

After an intense 16 days, the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics came to an end on August 8. We took the opportunity to scope what some of the Olympics’ top athletes were sporting on their wrists at this year’s event.

Claiming Hong Kong’s first gold medal in fencing, everyone in the city was overjoyed with Edgar Cheung Ka-long’s victory. His nail-biting win brought Hong Kong’s first Olympic gold medal in 25 years. After his match, he celebrated his impressive victory with the words, “We must persist and we should not give up easily.”

The Hong Kong champion has shown his love for luxury watches through his partnership with Tag Heuer. His attitude at the Games definitely matched the brand’s “don’t crack under pressure” slogan. He has also been spotted with a Tag Heuer Autavia, from Heuer’s oldest collection and its most high-performing creation.

Golf – Tiffany Chan

Another Hong Kong athlete we kept our eyes on was star golfer Tiffany Chan. Aside from being the city’s only Olympian golfer, she has competed twice in the Asian Games and also won the 2016 Hong Kong Ladies Open.
