In a world where the delicate balance of nature is constantly under threat, Hublot, the renowned Swiss watchmaker, stands as a beacon of hope, championing the cause of conservation through its unwavering partnership with SORAI, the rhino conservation organization founded by former international cricketer and Hublot ambassador Kevin Pietersen.
This dynamic duo is united in their mission to protect the endangered rhinoceros, a majestic creature that plays a vital role in the delicate balance of our ecosystem. The rhino, a symbol of strength and resilience, is facing an unprecedented crisis, with poaching and habitat loss pushing it to the brink of extinction.
Hublot’s Art of Fusion: A Symphony of Technology and Compassion
Hublot’s “Art of Fusion” philosophy, which blends tradition, innovation, and craftsmanship, is not merely confined to the realm of watchmaking. It extends to their commitment to social responsibility and their dedication to making a positive impact on the world.
The Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon 5-Day Power Reserve SORAI, a stunning limited-edition timepiece, is a testament to Hublot’s unwavering commitment to conservation and its belief in the power of collective action. This exceptional watch, limited to only 30 pieces, embodies Hublot’s dedication to creating timepieces that transcend the realm of mere accessories and become symbols of hope and change.
A Closer Look at the Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon 5-Day Power Reserve SORAI
The Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon 5-Day Power Reserve SORAI boasts a 42mm case crafted from a unique micro-blasted and polished “warm grey” ceramic, reminiscent of the rhino’s skin. This distinctive timepiece is powered by the HUB6020 Manufacture calibre, a hand-wound, skeletonized tourbillon with an impressive five-day power reserve.
The watch’s design is a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality. The grey fabric strap, complemented by a second strap in black rubber with a striking grey and beige camouflage pattern, adds a touch of rugged elegance. The asymmetrical display, poised between two sapphire crystals, delicately balances a time display at 3 o’clock and a power reserve indicator between 8 and 9 o’clock.
Hublot and SORAI: A Partnership Forged in Passion
Hublot’s partnership with SORAI is a testament to the power of collaboration in the face of adversity. SORAI, founded in 2018 by Kevin Pietersen, is dedicated to uniting communities, businesses, and conservationists in the fight to protect the rhino.
“At Hublot, we are United for Change and passionate about the power of the collective to bring that change,” says Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO. “While it brings us great joy to introduce the fourth Hublot x SORAI watch and to unite our communities together in the quest to save the rhino, our first thought is of our responsibilities as citizens of the world. We’re passionate about conserving our planet and reversing the damage done by mankind, and we are committed to playing our part in that process, knowing that lasting change is never achieved by people acting alone.”
The Rhino Crisis: A Call to Action
The rhino crisis is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of human actions on the natural world. Poaching, driven by the illegal trade of rhino horn, has decimated rhino populations, pushing these magnificent creatures to the brink of extinction.
“The challenge wildlife conservation teams face on the ground is sadly still hugely challenging and often incredibly dangerous,” says Kevin Pietersen, founder of SORAI and Hublot ambassador. “It’s a war out there as conservationists and park rangers tackle poachers and combat the illegal trade of rhino horn. We have to go on working together to educate people about how important the rhino is to the environment and to make sure they know that rhino horn has no medicinal value – no more than fingernails.”
