TIME, MUSCLE & HOPE AGAINST DISEASE
BIG BANG UNICO SAPPHIRE USAIN BOLT FOR ONLY WATCH
“In our minds, this watch and what we are offering together with Usain Bolt to the Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies expresses the idea, the will and the dream of seeing the strongest muscle – that of Usain Bolt – support, help, the weakest muscle –
that of a disease, myopathy, which weakens muscles.”
Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot
“I’m grateful to have the full strength of my muscles to run so fast, as well as to have been able to achieve so many records. I am delighted to support Only Watch and to help scientific and medical research into neuromuscular diseases.”
Usain Bolt, 3-time triple Olympic gold medallist and Hublot Ambassador
Since 2005, Hublot has been working alongside ONLY WATCH to ensure that one day research will triumph over the disease, and to support the courage and determination of children suffering from Duchenne disease, as well as future generations. Who better than Usain Bolt to embody victory, surpassing oneself, courage and determination?
For this 2017 edition, Hublot is fashioning a transparent watch, cut from sapphire, one of the most difficult materials to machine. In choosing this material, it formulates a message – that of always pushing back the limits and always believing that they can be overcome, surpassed. A watch that embodies hope and the will to overcome. Inspired by one of champion Usain Bolt’s signature models, the Big Bang Unico Sapphire Usain Bolt for Only Watch is adorned in the gold and bright colors of the Jamaican sprinter. A symbol of victory to be worn on the wrist!
To fully convey Hublot’s and Usain Bolt’s commitment to the Association Monégasque contre les Myopathies, and to embody the notion that it’s the time you give to a cause that makes it so important, Hublot will organize a meet & greet between the auction winner and the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt.
