8 十一月 2024 VENDEE GLOBE: ALAN ROURA, HUBLOT AND THE WHOLE OF SWITZERLAND READY TO TAKE ON THE MOST EXTREME SPORTING CHALLENGE! Pride, joy and determination. These three emotions are in the hearts of Alan Roura and everyone at Hublot as they await the start of the tenth edition of the Vendée Globe in a few days' time. Together, they are about to take on the world's most extreme single-handed sporting challenge, and experience its addictive rhythm. A date with the oceans awaits. At 13:02 on Sunday 10th November, Alan Roura will officially be setting off on his third consecutive Vendée Globe aboard the IMOCA Hublot, adding his name and that of the prestigious watch manufacture to the annals of Swiss sporting history! “The emotion is as strong as ever, perhaps even stronger than it was four years ago, because the public is back and the popular support is even crazier than I remember”, explained the 31-year-old sailor a few days before the start, his collector's carbon fibre "Big Bang Unico Sailing Team" watch on his wrist. Over the last three weeks, some 2.5 million people have flocked to Les Sables d'Olonne to admire the spectacular boats and salute the solo sailors who are preparing to take on this incredible journey around the globe. This record turnout, four years on from the previous edition which had to be held without spectators due to the Covid-19 pandemic, is set to be repeated on Sunday for the legendary pass down the Les Sables d'Olonne channel! “The only thing that counts is pushing your limits” Almost 1000 days ago, the young Swiss sailor knocked on Hublot's door to share his project and his desire to take on the "Everest of the Seas". His fighting spirit, passion, daring and enthusiasm immediately won over the legendary manufacture. "We don't need to underscore the reasons behind our collaboration with Alan. Our maritime DNA is in our name: Hublot, meaning "porthole". We are a manufacture born gazing out to the open ocean. Ocean racing technology is progressing as fast as our R&D. The recently launched Big Bang Unico Sailing Team represents the very best we have to offer for supporting ocean racing. For now, at least. Because for Hublot, as for Alan, the only thing that counts is pushing our limits", says Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot. This is a philosophy shared by the most experienced sailor of his generation, finisher of two Vendée Globe races, and holder of the North Atlantic record. "In Switzerland, we all have a certain idea of what constitutes performance, precision and commitment. I'm not someone to rest on my laurels. Taking too much for granted is a sure path to failure. I want to push the envelope even further; to surpass others, but above all to surpass my own limits". "A wonderful human adventure" The time trial has officially begun for Alan Roura, who now has some 45,000 kilometres ahead of him. Leaving the legendary Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin and Cape Horn in his wake, Alan Roura will have to dig deep to complete this extraordinary challenge, without assistance or stopovers, a feat only 200 sailors have managed since the event was created 35 years ago! Along the way, the sailor will undoubtedly have to face many trials and tribulations, but Alan Roura knows he can count on the unfailing support of his partners in this 100% Swiss project, with the entire nation behind him, supporting their countryman. "My wish for this Vendée Globe is to be able to share my joy at being at sea with my team, my partners and all the Swiss people who are following me. Yes, there will be difficulties, ups and downs, twists of fate. That's part of the game. But I want to concentrate on the positive, and show that the Vendée Globe is above all a fantastic human adventure!" 最新动态 基利安·姆巴佩与尤塞恩·博尔特现身BIG BANG之夜 共同庆祝HUBLOT宇舶表的标志性腕表问世20周年 【2025年4月3日,日内瓦】作为“钟表与奇迹”高级钟表展(Watches & Wonders)的一部分,瑞士奢华制表品牌HUBLOT宇舶表于日内瓦体育馆(Geneva Arena)留下了一个值得纪念的夜晚,在两位品牌大使基利安·姆巴佩(Kylian Mbappé)和尤塞恩·博尔特(Usain Bolt)的首次相遇和共同见证下,庆祝其标志性的Big Bang系列问世20周年。这场令人难忘的庆祝活动不仅是对宇舶表的先驱精神的一次致敬,更是对品牌“融合的艺术”(Art of Fusion)制表理念的一曲颂歌。 了解更多 HUBLOT宇舶表臻呈以彩色陶瓷打造的情侣对表 推出青灰蓝及薄荷绿配色的全新BIG BANG UNICO腕表和BIG BANG“一键式”腕表(33毫米) 【4月1日,瑞士日内瓦】鲜艳的彩色陶瓷拥有难以抗拒的魅力,令人心驰神往。瑞士奢华制表品牌HUBLOT宇舶表成功开创先河,不断探索陶瓷色彩的无限可能。此次,品牌为标志性Big Bang系列再添两种全新配色,首次亮相于两组情侣对表,再次展现了其在陶瓷领域的精湛技艺。全新陶瓷色彩男女皆宜,其灵感源自时尚经典的春季色调,既相互映衬又截然不同。它们引人遐想、魅力无限、独树一帜。 了解更多
