Sidney Crosby buys stake in Swiss watch company with help of former teammate – Halifax [Video]

Guess NHL superstar Sidney Crosby has no excuse to be late anymore.

The Penguins captain now has an ownership stake in a Swiss watchmaking company, thanks to former teammate Mark Streit.

Streit co-founded NORQAIN in 2018 as a family-owned independent Swiss watch company.

In a news release, Streit — a native of Switzerland — said he it was a “thrill” to be working with Crosby again.

“Our time at the Penguins was incredibly rewarding – we developed a great understanding on the ice and a deep friendship off it,” he said.

In the same release, Crosby said he has been wearing NORQAIN watches and following the brand since participants were gifted the watches at the 2019 All-Star Game in San Jose.

“I am excited to work with NORQAIN and see what we can do together moving forward,” said the 37-year-old, who recently broke a record for seasons averaging at least one point per game.
