Five Swiss Friends of the Brand & Ambassadors: Mujinga Kambundji, Corinne Suter, Andreas Caminada, Dario Cologna & Alan Roura are united for the first time to celebrate summer in Zurich

Alan Roura loves tacking on water and the open sea,

For Corinne Suter, it’s the high-performance slaloms she carves on the dizzyingly steep ski slopes,

Mujinga Kambundji is after the best track to shave off hundredths of seconds over her fierce competitors,

While for Dario Cologna, it is finding balance and rhythm even after his retirement from the sport

For Andreas Caminada, it is accuracy, concentration and timing that he masters from his high gastronomy to his golf swing.

All five of them exude a quiet strength with a tinge of Swiss humility that takes nothing away from all the determination in their eyes and the dreams we share and experience as we watch their adventures, in their efforts to win stars, miles or medals.

All five work with time, for its speed, precision, performance and optimisation. Time permeates their training, their movements, their gestures. Their time is measured in hundredths of a second, and tonight our five champions will have shared 3,240,0000 (9 hours) of them with us.

While time sets the tempo for their lives, they also need to pause the ever-ticking clock. Taking a rest is essential if they are to be on top form on the big day, to keep pace with the competitions, from race to race, dish to dish, from stars to globes, from medals to podiums.

Breaks are rare, and the one they have granted themselves today, with Hublot in Zurich, is devoted to a special celebration with their second family. It's a unique opportunity to get to know each other better, share what inspires and motivates them, and swap experiences.

Although all 5 are involved in individual sports and activities, their job and dedication cannot be carried out without the support and coaching of a whole team of professionals. Their principles and values that govern their jobs are very similar. What is certain, is that all five are driven by passion and determination.

The Grison chef, lives in Fürstenau, also known as the world’s smallest town, - exudes Swissness. He has a taste for life’s simple pleasures and his restaurant tables are as welcoming as the ones at home. He uses clockwork precision in choosing his ingredients, which he grows in his garden or selects locally to stay close to his kitchens, and in creating his Michelin-star dishes since 2004 (when he earned his 1st star).The chef with three Michelin-stars to his name and 19 points in the Gault & Millau guide since 2010, showcases his cuisine in 4 establishments: Schloss Schauenstein Fürstenau (2002), IGNIV Bad Ragaz (2015), Saint-Moritz (2016), Zurich (2020) and founded Uccelin to help grow the young talented chefs of tomorrow.

The current Olympic Downhill Champion (Beijing 2022) and World Downhill Champion (2021) is the Queen of the greatest downhill skiing disciplines. She also has 3 medals to her name (1 bronze and 2 silvers), as well as two small medals in 2020 in the downhill and Super G. Her infectious smile and humble, reserved character are just two facets of an ultra-complete, determined athlete who loves speed and has no fear of vertiginous slopes. At 29, the skier from Schwyz continues to prove that she is destined for victory, she knows how to pick herself up from her falls and transform them into additional motivation to achieve her childhood dreams, with one thing that is always constant - her good humour.

The most successful cross-country skier in Swiss history hung up his skis in 2022, just before his 36th birthday. The four-time Olympic champion, and winner of four overall World Cups for cross-country skiing has achieved 26 victories and 73 podium finishes in 285 elite races. He had a golden career with an impressive longevity of 16 years on the circuit. You can discover his story in the biography by Peter Röthlisberger. His sporting spirit and determination as a go-getter are evident in his television appearances as a sports commentator, his recent appointment as Chairman of the Jury for the Prix Montagne (succeeding Bernhard Russi) and his new role as co-owner of the start-up Trainpub, a platform offering the public access to sporting activities, coaching and webinars on sports topics. Dario has always enjoyed pushing back the boundaries and has every intention of redefining some of them.

Breton by adoption and from Geneva by birth, Alan Roura has set the course for his third Vendée Globe in 2024. The yachtsman, adventurer and born competitor is preparing for the most difficult sailing race in the world, the one dubbed the Everest of the Seas. With his legendary smile, this elite sportsman is also a dreamer. With thousands of nautical miles under his belt, the 30-year-old sailor, who has been rocked by the waves since the age of 2, already has 10 years of competition under his belt, including two solo round-the-world yacht races. As the youngest Vendée Globe finisher in 2016 and current solo North Atlantic record holder, the Swiss sailor, who has been based in Brittany since 2012, is now sailing aboard the IMOCA 60 HUBLOT. Whether he is sailing single-handed or as crew, the open sea is his freedom!

The fastest Swiss woman in history, Mujinga was the first to break through the legendary barrier of 11 seconds over 100m. She also holds the national records for the 60 m, 200 m and 4x100 m. With her bronze medal in the 200 m in Doha in 2019, she is the first Swiss sprinter (of either gender) in the history of Swiss athletics to achieve a podium finish at a World Championships. As an Olympic finalist, World and European champion in the 60 m and European champion in the 200 m, Mujinga has made the track her field of expression. Her spirit and determination, not to mention her generosity and sense of humour earned her the title of Swiss Sportswoman of the Year in both 2019 and 2022.
