Depeche Mode and Hublot

Since the first partnership in 2010, Hublot and Depeche Mode have collaborated a number of times to support causes that both care deeply about. The past partnerships in support of The Teenage Cancer Trust and charity: water raised funds and awareness for childhood cancer research and brought clean water to developing communities around the world. With this new partnership, the shared goal becomes making tangible change toward sustainability, waste reduction, and environmental clean-up.

In addition, in conjunction with Live Nation's Green Nation team, Depeche Mode and Hublot will also support programs on tour and at the venues focusing on limiting use of single-use plastics, improved recycling, food and other waste reduction, and other sustainability-related initiatives.

Our Partnership with Conservation Collective

 

 

United For A Cleaner Planet

 

Depeche Mode and Hublot have joined forces to support Conservation Collective, a global network of locally-led environmental foundations working to restore and protect the wild places we know and love. Together, they are raising vital funds and awareness to combat one of the world’s most urgent environmental crises: plastic pollution.

 

Why Focus On Plastic?

 

🌎 Over 430 million tonnes of plastic are produced every year: two thirds become waste*
🌊 Much of it ends up in nature, harming animals, communities and ecosystems
💪 The solution? To support local communities tackling plastic at the grassroots

 

What We Throw Away Does Not Go Away?

 

Together, the Depeche Mode x Hublot and Conservation Collective partnership is empowering the communities working towards a cleaner future.

Funding is channelled to member Foundations across the CC network to tackle plastic pollution through local community-led initiatives, educational activities and awareness campaigns.

Since June 2023, we’ve supported 22 projects across 11 different countries via three approaches: plastic free, waste management and clean up projects.

Project Spotlights

 

Projects are led by the bottom-up needs of each region's unique plastic-related challenges. Our approach inspires local communities to get involved: from direct action to campaigning, research, education and policy-changing activities. Here are three examples of projects we are working on so far...

About Conservation Collective

Conservation Collective is an environmental charity on a mission to protect and restore the wild places we know and love. The vital work of protecting nature is already in the hands of dedicated local communities, but they’re often underpaid or working as volunteers. Less than 3% of charitable giving is directed towards saving the natural world. Since 2020, we have launched, funded and grown 22 Foundations where they create the most impact: at the grassroots. Our nature restoration work now spans from Devon to Sri Lanka and across the Mediterranean, dispersing millions to the most effective locally-led groups in the process.

About Hublot

Hublot is a Swiss watch manufacturer founded in 1980 and based in Nyon. For its first ever timepiece, this fundamentally disruptive company combined gold with a rubber strap in a case with a design inspired by a ship's porthole (hublot in French). Thus, the Art of Fusion was born, blending tradition, innovation, craftsmanship, worlds and talents. It became the brand's aesthetic and technical signature.

This identity was strengthened in 2005 with the Big Bang, which attested to an unrivalled know-how in terms of complications, manufacture movements and state-of-the-art materials. Carbon, titanium, ceramic and sapphire have been developed on this model to technical extremes.

This ground-breaking, high-quality approach to watchmaking is summed up in its philosophy 'Be First, Unique and Different.' It gradually led to other collections with innovative designs: Classic Fusion, Spirit of Big Bang, Square Bang and Manufacture Pieces. These draw on high levels of craftsmanship, both in terms of the materials so dear to Hublot (such as Magic Gold, brightly-coloured ceramics and sapphires) and its manufacture movements (Unicochronograph, Meca-10 and high complications such as the Tourbillon, the Cathedral Minute Repeater and the specific Manufacture Pieces movements).

Hublot's world extends to powerful partnerships including football. 'Hublot Loves Football' has become the slogan at the world's biggest sporting events (such as the FIFA World Cup™, Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA EURO™) and through its ambassadors. This love of football continues in art, design, music, sport, fine dining and sailing. Lastly, Hublot's implication in joint environmental projects with SORAI and Polar Pod reflects its concern for the issues of the day.

Over 130 boutiques around the world share Hublot's fervour and values, alongside the Hublot.com e-commerce site.
