Doing Good - the Big Bang Unico SORAI

From Hublot -

I really, really like rhinos. And needless to say, I would like to see them, and elephants, lions and every other wonderful animal not only survive, but thrive. 

It is nice to see Hublot pick up the call to action and support SORAI  in their mission to protect endangered wildlife.

This is a limited edition of 100 pieces, and since Hublot is nice enough to do this, to support the efforts of SORAI, I thought I'd let them tell the story in their own words -

With dedicated and consistent actions undertaken to protect the rhino, poaching – the biggest threat to their existence in Africa – continued slowly but steadily to decline up to 2020.

 

Over the last 10 years, two thirds of the rhinos in South Africa’s Kruger Park have been killed by poachers. Black rhinos in Kruger Park have disappeared dramatically and today there are estimated to be less than 500 remaining.

 

Hublot is using its global reach, and reconfirming its support for Kevin Pietersen and SORAI – Save Our Rhino Africa India – with the release of a new edition of the Big Bang SORAI, inviting 100 future owners to help support this cause for our planet. A portion of the proceeds from the sale will be donated exclusively to Care for Wild – the largest rhino sanctuary in the world, supported by SORAI – for it to use as it sees fit.
