While philanthropy is a strong theme in the watchmaking world, Hublot takes its charitable activity more seriously than most. In the last two months alone it has created a limited edition watch in partnership with Depeche Mode to raise funds for the non-profit organisation, Charity: Water, which aims to bring clean supplies to developing countries. For Hublot's latest release, it has turned its focus to UK-based charity the Prince's Trust. The organisation, supported by the Prince of Wales, aims to provide financial and practical assistance to disadvantaged young people to help get their lives back on track.
'We are delighted to partner with The Prince's Trust on this special project which strives to recognise and advance the full potential of disadvantaged young people in the UK,' said Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot. 'As a leading yet relatively new Swiss watch manufacture, Hublot values the need to constantly invest in advancing innovation and securing a promising future, and we see the UK as the perfect territory to put this vision into practice with the important charitable work of The Prince's Trust.'
