Primož Roglič is a cycling champion with a unique career path. Born in former Yugoslavia, he began his sporting career as a ski jumper. In 2011, having won several international titles, he decided to swap his skis for a racing bike. The decision paid off: within a few years, the Slovenian champion had joined the world’s elite and won multiple races, including La Vuelta, Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Tour de Romandie. He has achieved numerous Grand Tour podium finishes and in 2020, was named no.1 road cyclist in the UCI World Ranking. “Time measurement is an essential part of my life and my career. For me, this association with Tissot makes perfect sense.”

Born to an Angolan father and a Congolese mother, Capela discovered basketball at the age of 13 at the Swiss club of Meyrin, not far from Geneva. His basketball journey led him to the NBA in 2014 when he was drafted by the Houston Rockets. Clint Capela is among the champions who humbly make their presence known. The Swiss forward of the Atlanta Hawks is constantly upping his game due to his determination and unfailing drive. “I'm a Swiss athlete, Tissot is a Swiss brand, so we had a natural connection”

Liu Yifei is a woman of many talents, being an actor and singer. A graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, the Chinese actor first came to the public’s attention in television films and series such as The Legend of Sword and Fairy, which was when an entire nation fell under her spell. Hollywood spotted her, too, which led to her playing opposite Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Nicolas Cage. Mulan, the Disney movie starring her, was released in 2020 and received widespread attention around the world, making her an actor with international influence. Tissot is especially proud to see her representing “Le Locle-style” time!

Everyone feels the same about Tony Parker: now, when he is honourably retired, and back when he was still playing for the San Antonio Spurs and the Charlotte Hornets. Standing 1.88 m in height, the four-time NBA champion and six-time All-Star is down-to-earth, in touch with ordinary people, and full of enthusiasm. He has impressive energy and determination and an admirable sense of social responsibility – all values he shares with our brand. The Frenchman now wants just one thing: to inspire the next generation and pass on his experience to it.

Rimini-born Bastianini was made to ride a motorbike. Although he used to be a talented gymnast and diver, he wanted to become a legend at one thing: motorcycle racing. He first gets in the saddle aged just three years and three months, which is why 33 becomes his number of choice. The sport comes naturally to him, but he knows to get to the very top, it will require dedication and commitment. There is no progress without staying on course, and the path to success is one that rewards only those who face adversity with resilience.
