Usain Bolt, a.k.a “Lightning Bolt,” is the greatest legend to enter track and field from Jamaica. Since the time the world began with the Big Bang, no man has run as fast as him. Suffice it to say that Bolt justifies every honor with his accolades. He is a pure talent with stellar physical attributes to match, and when it comes to accentuating his features, he has only one accessory that he can safely trust.

Usain Bolt prefers to wear Hublot watches to all his important events and appearances. The Swiss luxury watchmaker is part of the powerhouse clothing brand LVMH, worth $397.26 Billion. Hublot has always supported the careers of legendary sprinters such as Dina Asher-Smith.
