In Geneva on 18th December, Stéphane Lambiel's Ice Gala will take place on Hublot time. For the Gala evening that he has produced and sponsored to mark the 150-year relationship between Switzerland and Japan, Stéphane Lambiel has succeeded in bringing together an exceptional group of his ice skating friends, including some of the world's best skaters: Alexeï Iagoudine, who took gold at the Salt Lake City Olympic Games in 2002 with a stunning performance that is still remembered today, returning to skate in Geneva for Stéphane twelve years later. The line-up also includes Carolina Kostner, Nathalie Péchalat, Fabian Bourzat, Miki Ando and Swiss figure skater Sarah Meier.
Hublot has also created the official watch for the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Japan: an Aero Bang All White with the inscription "Miracle Lone Pine Tree" on the case back, which was presented to Japan during an official dinner this September.
