Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is distinguished by its innovative concept resulting from the unique combination of gold and rubber: "the Art of Fusion". Hublot and sailing have a long history, dating back to the origins of the brand in 1980. Almost 25 years later, the watchmaker has chosen Alan Roura to mark his return to the most legendary race of all!
Profile
Born on the shores of Lake Geneva, it is on the world's oceans that Alan Roura grew up and matured his dreams of offshore racing. After 11 years of sailing on the family boat, he "passed" his Mini Transat in 2013, at just 20 years old. Three years later, he became the youngest competitor to finish the Vendée Globe (23 years old) and was back for a second participation in 2020, with the North Atlantic solo record in his pocket (2019). Since 2022, supported by new partners and at the helm of a new generation boat, Alan is determined to make the best of it.
