The
sponsorship arrangement between the incredible universe of Geneva watchmaker,
Roger Dubuis, and the Bobsleigh Federation of Russia, has yielded incredible
results including a recent impressive haul of medals won by the Federation’s
teams at the world’s most prestigious sporting event after an action-packed
couple of weeks in the motherland itself.
The
shining array of medals included gold for the four man bobsleigh team on the
inal day of the event, led by hot favourite Aleksander Zubkov, who had led the
two man team to victory earlier in the week. Other distinctions included an
impressive collection of wins and attendant medals for the Federation’s teams
overall, with Alexander Tretiakov
bringing home gold in the men’s skeleton inals and third place on the podium
with a bronze for the ladies’ team, won by Elena Nikitina.
The
success-illed fortnight comes hot on the heels of consecutive key victories at
the recent World Cup for the Bobsleigh teams, giving rise to high hopes of many
more wins at future competitions.
With
their shared values of audacity, excellence, technical sophistication and high
precision, the partnership is a marriage made in the partners’ own particular
joint heaven, in which both partners are driven not only by passion, but also
by their mutual respect for key traditions in their ields including
groundbreaking innovation and deining new boundaries. Like Roger Dubuis, which
has established itself at the peak of Fine Watchmaking, combining innovation
and superlative craftsmanship, the Bobsleigh Federation of Russia is on a
constant quest for high performance and technical perfection.
“Like
Fine Watchmaking, bobsleigh is synonymous with precision and performance. In
this world, as in the world of watchmaking, there is no room for compromise. We
share these values with the team and we are delighted with the spectacular
results achieved this season” said Jean-Marc Pontroué, CEO, Roger Dubuis, commenting
on the outcomes of the partnership thus far.
As
a powerful symbol of this convergence of minds, the entire team is equipped
with a Roger Dubuis Pulsion model. Highly technical and dynamic, with the inherent
strength of timekeeping instruments built for action, and the revealed
complexity of contemporary Haute Horlogerie, it is the perfect companion for a
team that has been hand-picked to take on the toughest competition in the
world.
Resolutely
extravagant, rebellious and elegant, Roger Dubuis is more than just a
Manufacture, it relects an entire universe – one where exuberance rules and
creativity reigns supreme and where innovation is born from a heartfelt respect
for tradition and craftsmanship.
Well-known
for its audacious designs and contemporary approach of ine watchmaking, the
Genevan Maison stands out by being the only brand to certify 100% of its
timepieces with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève.
This
unique certiication, dedicated to preserving the quality and respect of the
tradition, not only guarantees the performance of each timepiece but also the
individual inishing of every single component. No exception to this tradition,
the models in the Pulsion watch collection are distinguished by an absolutely
unique sapphire crystal, screwed down and extending over the sides of the case
to serve as a bezel, with numerals engraved beneath the crystal and enhanced
with a luminescent material.
The
Russian Bobsleigh Federation is a voluntary, self-regulatory, all-Russian
non-governmental organization established in 1992. A member of the all-Russian
Union of Physical Culture and Sporting Community Associations, “The Russian
Olympic Committee” and the International Bobsleigh and Tobogganing Federation –
(FIBT), the Federation is presided over by G.I. Bedjamov and encompasses the
winter sport disciplines of Luge, Skeleton and Bobsleigh with their
accompanying thrills and shivers of excitement.
Commenting
on the teams’ star-studded trajectory thus far this season, Bedjamov expressed
his pride in the team “Success breeds success and true to our original feelings
regarding our sponsorship by Roger Dubuis, just knowing that we have such an
amazing brand on board with us as our oficial partner has been an enormous
boost for us. We are immensely proud of our team’s results and have no doubt
that, backed by the amazing world of Roger Dubuis, we will continue to achieve
even greater things.”
