Hublot and Black Jaguar – White Tiger Foundation, an inspirational and stylish alliance.
Hublot, the luxury Swiss watch brand, always true to its values and “The Art of Fusion” mission, had the honor of inaugurating the new feline Black Jaguar – White Tiger sanctuary in presence of Mr. Jean-Claude Biver, President of LVMH watch division and Chairman of Hublot together with Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot’s CEO. Jacky Bracamontes was the perfect host in company of Eduardo Serio Black Jaguar – White Tiger CEO, to welcome the Swiss Brand in this new sanctuary, proof of the hard work and labor of Eduardo, and also, his true love and dedication to the animals under his custody.
Today, Hublot, confirmed and continued the compromise with the feline Foundation announced last month in Mexico City.
Hublot and Black Jaguar – White Tiger, launched three special and limited editions, one in gold limited to 50 pieces, one ceramic edition limited to 100 pieces and one in steel, also limited to 100 pieces.
The 3 limited editions were completely inspired by felines. The dial of each timepiece, reflects the strength and nature of the animals with the “head of tiger” embossed design. The black rubber strap, is engraved with the characteristic pattern of the tiger fur.
Once more, the Swiss Brand confirmed with this legendary association, its commitment to charity, our planet, the living species and the constant vision of being “first, unique and different” in every field.
The Foundation, is responsible of preserving multiple species, most of them are felines, but now on, thanks to the diffusion of the project and the good and positive results and ambassadors, the Foundation is able to welcome multiple endangered species, always with the aim to transmit a message of love, care and respect to all the species inhabiting our world.
During the press conference, Jean-Claude Biver expressed the importance of the partnership with a Foundation sharing the same values, mission, vision, philosophy and the compromise of leaving a better world for the future generations.
Thanks to the expansion and opening of more than 50 habitats, now the Foundation will be able to shelter, feed and take care of more than 350 animals from different species.
Nowadays, the Black Jaguar – White Tiger Foundation is worldwide known thanks to the great work done and results, but from now on, it will also be known because of the 3 high-end timepieces specially designed by Hublot for those who have a free, strong, independent and mistic spirit.
Jean-Claude Biver, President of LVMH Watch Division and Chairman of Hublot, “There is no living being who does not deserve respect, from now on, you will be able to wear in your wrist, the living proof of the alliance and preservation message, with a Hublot style. We feel very proud and commited with the cause, the world that we inhabit, and with the coming generations. In Hublot, we have the mision of join us to the projects who share our expectations and values”.
Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO, “Hublot will always be a leading brand in the market, always innovating, creating and supporting different causes. We can say that we accomplished the design mission, we were able to reflect the wild spirit of the felines and the fusion of different materials. This reflects Hublot’s trademark. We are proud of the partnership and the product itself”.
Eduardo Serio, Black Jaguar – White Tiger CEO, “I cannot describe in a few words only the meaning and importance of this partnership. We talked about this project for the past months and I had the chance to work hand in hand with Hublot in the whole designing process. It is very special for me to finally see the finished timepieces and to have the honor of sharing this special day with the brand and the Hublot family”.
About Hublot
“Hublot – A different way to progress” say those who know this unique Swiss luxury watch company, where each and every moment moves forward to create the future at breathtaking speed. A dream, initiated and developed by Hublot’s Chairman Jean-Claude Biver with CEO Ricardo Guadalupe when they took control of the brand in 2004. These two men are responsible for turning the Hublot brand into a genuine success story in which the Big Bang, Classic Fusion, and Grandes Complications Collection represent the symbols of a constantly evolving tradition. This year marks the 10th Anniversary of ALL BLACK, a concept created by Hublot to create a watch with blackened hands, indexes, dial and date, rendering a timepiece not explicitly about telling time.
From in-house watch complications, including award-winning minute repeaters and tourbillons, to revolutionary materials such as patented and scratch resistant Magic Gold, colored Texalium carbon fiber, and transparent sapphire cases to world class collaborations such as Ferrari, FIFA™ World Cup, and Italia Independent, Hublot characterizes itself through the “Art of Fusion” philosophy, bringing tradition into the future.
About Black Jaguar White Tiger Foundation
The Black Jaguar-White Tiger™ Foundation is inspired by a single unexpected act of Love, and a whole lot of trust and magic.
The Foundation thinks outside the box, and will never breed the rescued Animals if they are not going to be able to re-introduce them into their natural habitat. So based on this idea, since they were born and currently live in captivity, they found out that the more Animals living together in one group, the happier they are, regardless of the species. The BJWT Foundation do not breed the Animals, and even though different species living with each other would never occur in the wild, they cohabitate in the Sanctuary because they were born and currently live in captivity due to the human destruction all around the Planet.
The Foundation hopes to inspire people to get along amongst them, because if a Leopard and a Lion can Love each other then it is possible for us humans to do the same.
