The Michelin Man’s First Look
In early 20th-century posters, the character often wore spectacles and smoked cigars, reflecting the design style of the time.
His name "Bibendum" comes from the Latin phrase *Nunc est bibendum* — meaning "Now is the time to drink."

Although the Michelin Man doesn’t appear at every ceremony, his image is still used in promotions and branding.

He reflects values of reliability, durability, and quality — qualities Michelin wants drivers and diners alike to associate with its name.
