In honor of amfAR‟s 25th anniversary, Hublot has created a special limited edition collection of timepieces for men featuring the foundation‟s colors and logo. The men‟s watch, a special design limited to 100 pieces only of the Big Bang Black Magic, features a 44 mm black ceramic case and bezel and houses a self-winding chronograph movement and rubber-alligator strap.
The evening featured a gala dinner, live auction, performance by David Garrett, and honoree tributes, culminating in the special reunion performance of “That‟s What Friends are For”. For this special occasion, Jean-Claude Biver was pleased to announce the auction of the first timepiece of the Hublot amfAR collection, numbered 001/100 of the Big Bang Black Magic limited edition timepiece celebrating amfAR 25th anniversary. The winner and a guest are invited to travel to Geneva courtesy of Delta Air Lines, with a 3 night stay at the Mandarin Oriental, Geneva, to receive a private tour of the Hublot Factory near Geneva to pick up the timepiece. Mr. Biver will also personally bring the winner and his/her guest to his estate for an evening that will include Château d‟Yquem wine and Mr. Biver‟s own famous Swiss cheese. This amazing package was won after a very competitive bidding for $75,000.
