14 二月 2022 HUBLOT JOINS THE POLAR POD EXPEDITION TO UNCOVER THE SOUTHERN OCEAN Hublot becomes the partner of the Polar Pod expedition, a zero-emission, ecological vessel designed by explorer Jean-Louis Etienne to explore the Southern Ocean which surrounds Antarctica. It is the planet’s main oceanic carbon sink and a gigantic reservoir of marine biodiversity that is still poorly understood. This expedition is a first for this Ocean, which has never yet been the subject of this type of research. As part of its HUBLOT Xplorations programme, the Swiss watch manufacturer has signed a new partnership with the Polar Pod expedition. The brainchild of the French explorer and environmentalist Jean-Louis Etienne - the first man to have reached the North Pole alone - this zero-emission ship will be tasked with exploring the waters of the ‘Furious Fifties.’ This name was given to this area of the Southern Ocean in reference to the high winds and rough seas that are usual here. In order to withstand the sea in all weathers, the Polar Pod is a vertical vessel 100 metres high (with a draught of 80 metres) stabilised by 150 tonnes of ballast. Without an engine, it will drift with the Antarctic circumpolar current and will be powered by the energy of six wind turbines. The Southern Ocean, the fourth largest ocean by surface area, captures 50% of the carbon dioxide absorbed by all the world's oceans, making it a major player for the climate. Connecting the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans, its waters form a gigantic reservoir of marine biodiversity. However, scientists are sorely lacking in measurements and observations in this part of the world. The Polar Pod will be fitted with highly powerful instruments, making it possible to collect a continuous stream of precious date on biodiversity, current dynamics, the impact of human pollution and the atmosphere-ocean interactions which control the climate. This data will be made available to the international scientific community. The research, coordinated by the CNRS (the French National Centre for Scientific Research) in partnership with the CNES (the French National Centre for Space Studies) and Ifremer (the French National Institute for Ocean Science), will include contributions from scientists from 43 institutions and universities in 12 countries. In addition, school pupils will be able to follow the adventure through videos and exhibitions. The construction of the Polar Pod will start in June 2022, with a launch date of late 2023. The expedition will then span three years until 2026, with the changeover of the eight crew members taking place every two months. This project fits perfectly into Hublot’s Xplorations programme, which now has three pillars: Space, with the design of components for the Space X Exomars Martian robot; Earth, through supporting Sorai, the charity to protect rhinoceroses and other endangered animal species; and the Sea, with Anticythère and now Jean-Louis Etienne and the Polar Pod expedition, a project in which Hublot intends to get fully involved. This partnership strengthens Hublot's corporate social responsibility profile while respecting its maritime heritage, marking a natural return to the brand’s roots. Today, Hublot is proud to support research through a human, scientific and societal project. Hublot has also set itself the objective of going behind the scenes to create videos about all the preparations for this Expedition and the visionary work of Jean-Louis Etienne in order to spread the word to as many people as possible and to give it a worldwide reach through both traditional and social media. “To dare is to push one’s imagination beyond certainties and known limits; it is also about creating opportunities to listen and share with those who dare with you. And Hublot dares. Soon, in the shipyard, Polar Pod will take shape before heading off to discover the huge expanses of the Southern Ocean. Sharing technical information, technological research and with Hublot's assistance, generating media visibility will contribute to the expedition’s success. The data and observations will be made available to the entire international scientific community. ” JEAN-LOUIS ETIENNE EXPLORER “Life on Earth started in the oceans, yet they still have so much to teach us. By joining Jean-Louis Etienne's Polar Pod project, Hublot wished to contribute to our understanding of our planet, the starting point for making the right decisions for all of our futures. With this project, we are also returning to our maritime roots, which is the source of our very name, Hublot ” RICARDO GUADALUPE HUBLOT CEO 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
