Hublot pays tribute to Depeche Mode's Memento Mori with a new Spirit of Big Bang.
All I Ever Wanted, All I Ever Needed

I WAS BORN IN THE LATE ’80S, and my emotional upbringing was outsourced by my parents to bands such as The Cure, INXS, Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode. These bands wrote introspective songs and mastered new ways to manipulate the sounds made by a synthesiser — that in turn provided the melodies of an entire generation’s emotional soundscape.

Depeche Mode, in particular, played a significant role in my life — David Gahan’s hauntingly striking, almost-ethereal voice always reminding me what is “Precious”, that “Everything Counts” and that it’s okay for me to “Enjoy the Silence”. But it is their originality and edge as a band that made them stand out for me — and for Swiss luxury watchmaker Hublot.

Hublot and Depeche Mode first came together in 2010, finding common ground in the philosophy: “Be first, be different and be unique”. Both parties were dedicated to raising awareness and funds for various environmental and humanitarian causes. This partnership has resulted in over US$2.3 million raised for the Teenage Cancer Trust and Charity:water.

August Men Of Tomorrow

In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
