THE MOVEMBER MOVEMENT

Maurice Lacroix’s synergy with Movember works on many levels with both brands taking pride in constantly involving and interacting with their communities and by creating unique experiences.

The Movember Foundation is a global men’s health charity which raises vital funds and awareness for the often-ignored issues of men’s health, specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s mental health. It is responsible for the sprouting of millions of moustaches around the world in November when men become walking talking billboards for men’s health. Mo Bros start the month clean-shaven, and then grow and groom their moustache all month long. Funds are directed to men’s health programmes which are shaped by Movember’s vision to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health. Programme areas focus on awareness and education, living with and beyond cancer, staying mentally healthy and research. Programmes are delivered by the Movember Foundation and its men’s health partners in each country. Further information about how Movember’s funds are invested can be found at Movember.com

The Movember journey began in 2003 with a few mates in a pub in Melbourne, Australia. The goal was simple – to create a campaign promoting the growth of the moustache among like-minded people and have fun along the way. It is about real men growing real moustaches, talking about real issues to help to change the face of men’s health. Movember now spans the globe across 21 countries. Since inception, a global army of over 4 million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas have grown, or supported the growth of a moustache. To date more than £345 million has been raised globally and over 800 men’s health projects are being funded.

YOUR TIME IS NOW.
 
Maurice Lacroix’s tagline lends itself to the Movember partnership and with the support of their employees and ambassadors, 2014 is Maurice Lacroix’s ‘now’ time to create teams across the globe with one objective - to raise as much money and awareness as possible. Stéphane Waser, Managing director for Maurice Lacroix comments: “Initiatives such as Movember are exactly in line with the spirit and the vision of Maurice Lacroix. It’s all about being bold, committed and daring to stand out. We are extremely proud to support this amazing movement and contribute to a cause that concerns us all.”

Adam GaroneMovember Foundation’s CEO and Co-Founder said, “We are very proud to partner with Maurice Lacroix for Movember 2014.

Inspired by the Foundation Pocket Watch, the first time-piece to leave the Speake-Marin workshop 15 years ago, which gave birth to the Speake-Marin design and brand.

Is there any more fascinating sight than a tourbillon as it carves its rotations, completing one revolution each minute. Speake-Marin recognises this prowess and presents the Magister Tourbillon.

One of the most demanding mechanisms a watchmaker can attempt, while the tourbillon may have been invented more than two centuries ago to improve timekeeping precision, it is its striking visual aspect that appeals so strongly to this most British of Swiss watch brands.

Crowned with the Speake-Marin topping tool logo, the tourbillon turning inside its cage animates the enamel dial, and shows time moving in a most mesmerising way.
