Last night, Haute Living and Hublot joined forces to honor one of the sporting world’s greats—Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman. Taking place at the newly opened Zuma restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel on Dalton Street in Boston, the night also served as a celebration for Edelman’s Haute Living cover launch, which was the first Boston cover for the publication to date.

To begin the evening, guests were welcomed with flutes of Champagne to sip on while perusing the gorgeous selection of Hublot timepieces, on display in back-lit vitrines at the back of the restaurant. As Edelman made his grand entrance—wearing a Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic Sapphire—he was greeted by his guests, as well as his friends and fellow teammates who came to support him at his event, including New England Patriots‘ Isaiah Wynn, Braxton Berrios and Joe Cardona.
