Mr. Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot came to St. Maarten for the first time to launch this watch as this is a special event. One of the Limited Edition St. Maarten watches (retail value of $22, 900) is being donated by Hublot and the proceeds will go to St. Maarten’s Nature Foundation in order to create coral nurseries. Over the last decade, 80% of the coral surrounding our island has been destroyed. These funds will be given to the Nature Foundation in order to re-cultivate the coral around our island thereby enriching the underwater flora, fauna and sea life.
