Dwight Howard Makes a Drive for Armaan

Armaan Swiss Diamond Watches signed Olympic gold medal basketball team member Dwight Howard as its official NBA Brand Ambassador for all brand related initiatives, including marketing, promotion and publicity. In honor of Dwight Howard’s efforts to help bring the US team back to glory, Armaan Swiss Diamond Watches designed a full-pave, $100,000 diamond watch for him. The NBA star will be making a series of in-store appearances at select Armaan retailers in the US in 2008 and 2009.

Dwight Howard plays forward center on the NBA Orlando Magic team and is a member of the NBA All-Star Team. Howard, who is one of the top rebounders in the sport, was the No. 1 pick out of high school for the 2004 NBA draft. He was selected as one of the 12 players for Team USA for the Beijing 2008 Games along with basketball superstars Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.

“Dwight Howard is an inspiration for all of us not only for his outstanding contributions to the sport, but also for his philanthropic work,” says Nirav Bhasanli, president of Armaan Swiss Diamond Watches. “We are proud to be associated with Dwight, an athlete who is the slam dunk champion both on and off the court.”
