The Official Timekeeper of MotoGP, Premier Swiss watch brand Tissot is celebrating the return of international motorcycling racing to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
For more than half a century, Tissot has formed a strong link to the world of motor racing events by being involved in sports such as Formula 1, IndyCar Series, MotoGP and NASCAR. The parallel that both the watch brand and motor sports share is a mutual passion for precision, performance and leading technology.
Two of the most recognizable names in the world of motorsports are the IndyCar Series Star Danica Patrick and superstar MotoGP Racer Nicky Hayden. Besides being fierce competitors on either four wheels or two, these two athletes also share another common bond. They are both brand ambassadors for the leading watch brand Tissot. To celebrate the historic return to IMS (Indianapolis Motor Speedway), Tissot arranged for a fitting opportunity for its two ambassadors to meet each other for the first time at the track that means much to both of them.
“As the Official Timekeeper of the MotoGP, Tissot is very happy to have our two brand ambassadors meet during this historic occasion in Indianapolis. Danica Patrick and Nicky Hayden are exceptional in their respective sports disciplines. They both fit perfectly with Tissot’s values of innovation, quest for performance and stretching oneself to the limits,” said François Thiébaud, President of Tissot Worldwide.
Each of the athletes presented the other with their Tissot Limited Edition watches that bear their names. Danica got a chance to see the world of MotoGP through Nicky’s eyes as she toured the garages, watches the qualifying rounds and then later presented the Pole Position Award winner with a Tissot watch. The event celebrated MotoGP in Indianapolis, and was a great occasion for Tissot’s two racing stars to meet and shows Tissot’s long-standing relationship with the motor racing world that goes back to 1966.
