Popular martial arts film star Jet Li has been announced by Swiss Hublot timepieces and their newest brand ambassador. This was during the opening of their new Beijing boutique. Li is the brand's first Asian ambassador, and as I recall the first, or one of the first film star Hublot ambassadors. Jet Li was an accomplished martial arts competitor before beginning his film career. He is of the few of his kind to achieve world-wide notoriety outside of his native China. Hublot will likely offer a Jet Li limited edition timepiece sometime in the near future. Ariel Adams publishes the luxury watch reviews site aBlogtoRead.com.Gallery: Jet Li Hublot Biver
