In order to mark its new partnership with a tennis icon, Gustavo Guga Kuerten, the renowned Swiss watchmaker created a new King Power Guga Bang Chronograph in a limited edition of 100 pieces. A modern, powerful look of its case, made of ultra-light material, as well as the interesting combination of colors and subtle features that recall the world of tennis are characteristics that leave highly positive impressions after the very first contact with this timepiece. A part of the proceeds will support the Kuerten’s charitable nongovernmental organization, IGK, which works on the social inclusion through sport and education.
