Accents in amfAR's Signature Yellow and Blue

HUBLOT participated as a presenter at the amfAR gala in New York. The event drew a constellation of stars including Sarah Jessica Parker, Woody Allen, Julianne Moore, Lindsay Lohan, Cindy Crawford, and Jennifer Hudson, underscoring the celebrities' deep commitment to AIDS awareness and the work of amfAR.

At the dinner party's charity auction, HUBLOT presented a "Big Bang amfAR 2012" engraved with the signature of amfAR founder Mathilde Krim. Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of HUBLOT, stated, "Through the 'Big Bang amfAR 2012,' we hope to contribute to amfAR's efforts and join the fight against AIDS."

This second edition of the amfAR charity watch features an automatic chronograph movement. The black ceramic case contrasts beautifully with the white strap, while amfAR's signature blue accents the indices and hands, and yellow highlights the seconds hand.

Further enhancing its feminine appeal, the dial is adorned with elegant white mother-of-pearl, and the bezel is set with either 48 baguette-cut diamonds or 114 pavé diamonds. The strap combines elegant white alligator leather with a comfortable rubber lining, elevated by original yellow and blue stitching. The pavé diamond model will be a limited edition of just 100 pieces worldwide.

The "Big Bang amfAR 2012" masterfully blends pop accents of yellow and blue with HUBLOT's signature refined elegance. It stands as an iconic symbol of solidarity with those affected by AIDS worldwide and a testament to the vital work of amfAR in combating the disease.
