Audemars Piguet Alliance With The Clinton Foundation
In keeping with its long tradition of philanthropy, the Le Brassus manufactory has joined forces with the Foundation established by the former American President and to mark the occasion is launching an exclusive collection.
With its declared aim of helping the world to move beyond the current trend of globalisation in order to recreate a mutually dependent international community that shares profits, responsibility and values, the Clinton Foundation can now count on a new supporter of stature: Audemars Piguet. Their partnership was unveiled to the press on 10 October this year in New York, in the presence notably of Bill Clinton and Georges-Henri Meylan, the Managing Director of the Le Brassus based firm. On this occasion, Audemars Piguet launched an exclusive collection named Equation du temps Fondation Clinton, a large part of the profits from which will be paid to the foundation of the former American President of the United States.
"My foundation is working around the world to have a measurable and sustainable impact on some of the most pressing issues we face today, such as AIDS, global climate change, poverty and the health epidemic of childhood obesity in the United States," said President Clinton. "We cannot do this work alone, and thank Audemars Piguet for their support."
"We believe that the Clinton Foundation and Audemars Piguet share common values of innovation and excellence," says Audemars PiguetA’s CEO Georges-Henri Meylan. "Audemars Piguet is very proud of helping the Clinton Foundation to achieve the ambitious goals it has set for the coming years. We share the same philosophy, and our new partnership will allow us to launch a unique collection and donate $3 million to the Clinton Foundation for environmental projects. The Audemars Piguet Foundation has the goal of contributing to the conservation of forests around the world within the framework of environmental protection and awareness-raising among youth. This is a perfect synergy."
The Clinton Foundation Equation of Time collection encompasses a truly amazing group of timepieces that remains true to Audemars PiguetA’s tradition of excellence and creative daring. These exceptional timepieces combine several functions including the equation of time, sunrise and sunset times, and a perpetual calendar with astronomical moon. Each of the Clinton Foundation Equation of Time timepieces features the White House as a location on the graduated ring of the watch and the Seal of President Clinton engraved on the back of the watch. As President Clinton was the 42nd President of the United States, the Clinton Foundation Equation of Time collection features only 42 watches in each of three luxurious materials: platinum, rose gold, and white gold. Available since October in AP boutiques.
