KYLIAN MBAPPE has unveiled a new Champions League-inspired watch.
The Real Madrid star has partnered with luxury watch designers Hublot to create the new timepiece.
Mbappe, 26, has played 87 times in Europe’s premier competition and scored 55 goals.
He is yet to win a Champions League title but will be hoping to lift the iconic trophy while at the LaLiga giants.
Hublot has been the official watch of the competition since 2015.
It has been used for over 800 matches in that time and its branding is often spotted on the fourth official boards.
The two have now come together to produce a watch based on the tournament.
The titanium frame of the watch is paired with a blue face, which includes a mini Champions League logo on it.
The limited edition watch is up for sale at an eye-watering £11,800.
It comes with a black rubber and blue calf band which has the Champions Logo printed on it.
Mbappe has modelled the watch in one of the pictures for its announcement.
His fans were excited to get a close look at the watch as they flooded the comment section.
One posted: “I like this super cool.”
A second commented: “Love that dial.”
A third wrote: “Beautiful watch.”
A fourth said: “Great watch.”
The watch is not the only thing that comes in the bundle for buyers.
Those who decide to fork out almost £12k will also be given a tiny Champions League trophy as a gift.
Hublot CEO Julien Tornare has said: “Football isn’t just a game, it’s a feeling.
“From the roar of the crowd to the silence before a penalty, every beat matters.
“And this watch is built to beat with you. Football has the power to unite, inspire and move us. It’s hearts racing, nations watching, legends rising.
“At Hublot, we celebrate the joy of shared moments and the thrill of chasing greatness.
“That’s what drives us. Because we don’t just measure time, we celebrate it.”
Mbappe is not the only footballer who has thrown his hat into the world of watches.
Cristiano Ronaldo has launched his own collection of watches with luxury brand Jacob & Co.
The price of the watches range from £22k to £92k and Ronaldo lauded his own collection as a “dream come true”.
