In order to mark 2016, a milestone year for Usain Bolt, Hublot has created two new limited editions imbued with all that embodies the strength, determination and success of the fastest man in the world. Six-time Olympic champion and eleven-time world champion, the record holder is also a champion in terms of the challenges he sets himself.

Since 2010, Hublot has been standing alongside the greatest sprinter of all time and shares the same quest with Bolt. A quest for the precise and perfect measure of time, the desire to stand the test of time and to always surpass oneself and set new challenges.

“Since the famous Big Bang and the birth of our planet, no man has ever covered such distance in so little time! Usain Bolt is the fastest man of all time. Beyond his physical qualities, he transmits values, energy and a relaxed and generous attitude. He is so much more than an ambassador; he is an example, a model who inspires us. A symbol that transmits the values of success: determination, courage, hard work, talent and humility. As far as we’re concerned, he has already won.

Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot

The year 2016 is one focused on figures, symbols and challenges. With the Rio Games in his sights, Bolt has set himself several challenges. Winning the Olympic triple-triple. After Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012, where he won gold for the 100 metres, 200 metres and 4 x 100 metres with the Jamaican relay team, the sprinter is aiming for a hat trick.

Already the holder of 3 world records: 100 metres (9.58 seconds), 200 metres (19.19 seconds) and 4 x 100 metres (36.84 seconds), he has also stated his goal of breaking the 19 second barrier for the 200 metres. The Jamaican will turn 30 on the day of the games’closing ceremony.

Synchronicity or pure coincidence, only time will tell, but Bolt has already become legendary. The 3 medals he won during 2015 Beijing World Champion already gave him the status of the most brilliant athlete in history and the only one to have achieved a gold triple-triple.

The Big Bang UNICO Usain Bolt comes in two limited editions. In a 45mm Big Bang case, the second hands of its flyback chronograph movement measure time with a hand shaped like a lightning bolt. Its design tinged with green and gold, and its strap marked with the silhouette of the Jamaican flag, evoke the athlete’s origins. On the sapphire case back that reveals the UNICO manufacture movement, the silhouette of “Lightning Bolt” displays his emblematic victory sign.

AUDEMARS PIGUET Golf Ambassador Henrik Stenson wins in Germany

















AUDEMARS PIGUET Golf Ambassador Henrik Stenson wins BMW International Open in Germany


“ICEMAN” HENRIK STENSON BACK
IN THE WINNER CIRCLE

The Swede climbs back to world number 5 after his victory
at the
BMW International Open in Germany

Le Brassus, Tuesday 29th June 2016 – Henrik Stenson consolidated his place as the best ranked Audemars Piguet Golf Ambassador worldwide, with a victory at the BMW International Open in Germany. On Sunday June 26th, he had to complete 36 holes due to a flooded course on Saturday. He once again lived up to his nickname “Iceman” when he managed to plough through 3 bogeys in 5 holes without letting it affect his grit to keep the lead during his final round and finally win the title.

Henrik had several great results since the start of the 2016 season (2nd in Houston and in South Africa, 3rd in Orlando and in Abu Dhabi, 4th in Sweden, 6th in Dubai) and a total of 8 runner up finishes since he last won a tournament in Dubai in November 2014. He has now reached the world number 5th place.

When lifting the trophy, Henrik sported a Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph specially made for the Audemars Piguet Golf Dream Team. Recognizable with its icy blue strap, it has a white ceramic case with blue ceramic pushers and crown. It is the first time Audemars Piguet uses coloured ceramic outside white and black.
