PRESS RELEASE
International luxury timepiece brand, Hublot, to unveil
Black and White Rhino Support timepiece in South Africa at launch of
partnership with cricketer Kevin Pietersen, and Care For Wild
Johannesburg, 30 August 2019
Global timepiece brand, Hublot, is currently in South Africa
to launch a partnership with ex-cricketer Kevin Pietersen’s Save Our Rhinos
Africa and India (SORAI), and South Africa’s Care For Wild, in a new drive
towards the raising of awareness and funds for rhino protection.
The brand will be unveiling a special Black and While Rhino
Support timepiece in support of the initiative. The watch is valued at R500 000
a piece, with the proceeds (Nhongo
Team – do you know how the proceeds will be channelled for rhinos?).
The partnership was entered into with the aim of growing
global awareness and funds for the protection of rhinos, which are facing
extinction. Africa’s black and white rhino, and India’s Sumatran, Javan and
India rhino, are critically in danger of extinction due to excessive poaching
for their horns, making the partnership an invaluable collaboration.
Preferred tour operator for Care For Wild, Nhongo Safaris,
has had a long-standing relationship with Care For Wild, and is the preferred safari
tour operator on the property, with all safaris to Care For Wild operating
through Nhongo Safaris. “We
are proud to be a part of this initiative with Care For Wild, SORAI and Hublot;
having such globally-recognised brands take to the trenches to help save our rhinos
is such a progressive step in saving these incredible animals, which are in
danger of extinction,” says XXX, designation from Nhongo Safaris.
Pietersen built SORAI because of his passion for rhino
conservation, with the aim being to rescue abandoned, injured, and orphaned
rhinos in an effort to rehabilitate them, with Pietersen’s initiative aiming
for “the ongoing preservation and protection of Rhino’s in Africa and India and
the ongoing education, awareness and public support of this issue globally”.
CEO of Hublot, Ricardo Guadalupe, is currently in
South Africa to launch the partnership with Pietersen and Care For Wild.
