French professional basketball player Tony Parker is joining the 
high profile Tissot ambassador team. This appointment adds a further 
highlight to the brand's passion for the fast-paced, 
precision-dependent sport. The captain of the French national 
basketball team and NBA's San Antonio Spurs player scores highly on 
the international scene for his energy, apparent fearlessness and 
strong sense of social responsibility. As Official Timekeeper of FIBA
(International Basketball Federation), Tissot visibly shares the new 
ambassador's dedication to performance and looks forward to a winning
partnership.
Tony Parker has enjoyed an impressive career to date. His success 
with the French national team, which he led to a bronze medal in the 
2005 European Championships, parallels an outstanding NBA track 
record. He has a trio of NBA Champion titles to his name from 2003, 
2005 and 2007 and has been an NBA All Star on three occasions. In 
2007 he was honoured as the MVP (Most Valuable Player) in the NBA 
finals, the first foreign-born player to do so. His European roots 
and international recognition mirror the positioning of the Tissot 
brand.
Tony Parker describes his involvement in basketball as "a 
destiny", as the son of Tony Parker Senior. The Tissot involvement in
basketball also appears destined to grow at a rapid date. Already in 
2009, the first year of collaboration with FIBA, the Swiss brand was 
entrusted with the timekeeping and data handling for EuroBasket in 
Poland. Building on its success in this role, Tissot this year has 
been honoured with the same responsible role at the 2010 FIBA World 
Championship for men in Turkey (August 28-September 12), and for 
women in the Czech Republic (September 23-October 3).
