News French professional basketball player Tony Parker is joining Tissot ambassador team. This appointment adds a further highlight to the brand’s established passion for the fast-paced, precision-dependent sport. The captain of the French national basketball team and NBA’s San Antonio Spurs player scores highly on the international scene for his energy, apparent fearlessness and strong sense of social responsibility. As Official Timekeeper of FIBA (International Basketball Federation), Tissot visibly shares the new ambassador’s dedication to performance and looks forward to a winning partnership.
At the contract signing, Tissot President François Thiébaud commented, "We are honoured to have Tony Parker in the international Tissot ambassador team. His natural talent and focused determination are deeply impressive and our partnership will help spread his inspirational qualities around the world. Who knows?
