\"Usain<\/p>\n

Knockoff Handbags Jewelry Wholesale met the Jamaican sprinter last week, during the presentation of the all new\u00a0Big Bang\u00a0Unico<\/span>\u00a0All Black collectsion, available exclusively through their boutiques. We sat down with the 100m record breaker to talk about watches, training, and his current goals:<\/p>\n

Where does your passion for watches come from?\u00a0 And how did you and Hublot first get in touch?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When they approached me at the initial stage, and asked me to be their ambassador, I was like \u201cOk cool!\u201d So I check it out because I was never a huge watch fan. When I was younger I used to buy a lot of cars every year. Right now it\u2019s mostly shirts and video games. But after I spoke to Hublot I started taking notes on watches. For me Hublot is a prestige brands. Over the years, I\u2019ve heard so much about them, and I started listening and talking to people, especially my friends who are really into watches. So over the years I really got into watches, and it was wonderful starting out with Hublot.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Hublot unveiled the \u201cKing Power Usain Bolt<\/a>,\u201d to celebrate your partnership. Have you had a chance to go visit the manufacture’s workshops in Nyon and see how the watches are made?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been to the factory and I\u2019ve seen the people working on the watches to learn how they do it, and it\u2019s very technical. It\u2019s hard! Creating these watches by hand, it\u2019s just ridiculous because these watches are so detailed. I\u2019ve tried and I\u2019m not good. But I\u2019ve seen all they\u2019ve gone though to get to this point. It\u2019s like me training hard, for a finished product that you get to see on the track.

\nYou aren\u2019t the only sprinter with a watch. Yohan Blake also has a Richard Mille made after him. Do the two of you ever get the chance to talk about your watches during meetings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t run with the watch. You don\u2019t want to damage it. But yeah, definitely, we do banter a little bit about watches. We do have a good time talking it about it for sure. I remember actually, during the medals ceremony [at the Olympics] in London, I put my King Power Usain Bolt on, and was told I couldn\u2019t do that. \u201cBut I want to look good,\u201d I said. \u201cYou can\u2019t tell me to leave my watch off.\u201d In the end I wore it!<\/p>\n

[He also wore a King Power during the 2013 World Championships<\/a> medals ceremony]<\/em><\/p>\n

Your world is about fractions of a second. How do you go about shaving them off?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working with coaches is what makes the difference. We sit down, analyze the race, and break it down to figure out where and what we need to improve, and then it\u2019s all about me going about it. \u00a0It takes time and it\u2019s really technical. Sometimes you work so hard on one thing and it takes forever to get it right. But the key thing is consistency and to work on the small details.<\/p>\n

Other than breaking records and winning races, what gives you the greatest pleasure today? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I live to inspire. I get a lot of messages through social media and Instagram from kids saying: \u201cYou inspire me,\u201d and it feels good to know that because when I was growing up I looked up to Michael Johnson and all these guys. So to inspire kids today, it feels so good, I really appreciate it.<\/p>\n
