For the second time, luxury Swiss watchmaker Hublot has partnered with Best Buddies—a nonprofit organization that works to help people with intellectual and development disabilities with creating friendship, employment and leadership training opportunities—to create a limited-edition timepiece, the Big Bang Unico Best Buddies Limited Edition. In addition to the watch launch, the event marked the beginning of Best Buddies Challenge: Hearst Castle, which is a bicycle race taking place this weekend.

President of Hublot North America Jean-François Sberro and Founder, Chairman and CEO of Best Buddies International Anthony K. Shriver hosted an intimate event at Robert and Trina Dean’s private home in the San Francisco Bay. The Dean family has a strong connection with the Best Buddies organization, as long-time supporters and participants in the Best Buddies Challenge: Hearst Castle.
