Big Bang Depeche Mode

It’s about incredible personalities and exceptional talents in diverse fields coming together for a shared cause. It’s about the will and determination to create a global event that will make a meaningful difference.

Depeche Mode and Hublot announced together in Berlin on March 18th, 2013, a fundraising initiative to benefit charity: water, a non-profit bringing safe drinking water to the developing world.

This unique initiative is part of the Depeche Mode 2013-2014 Delta Machine Tour. As Charity Partner, Hublot has designed a watch especially for this history-making collaboration: the Limited Edition Big Bang Depeche Mode. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each watch will go directly to charity: water.

The Big Bang Depeche Mode will be launched with an international advertising campaign to coincide with the band’s 2013 summer European tour.
