About Pacifico®
Pacifico Clara® is a golden lager with a crisp, refreshing flavor. As the story goes, Pacifico was founded in Mazatlán, Mexico in 1900, and first “imported” to the U.S. by Californian surfers who visited Baja, loved the beer and brought it back to share with other like-minded adventurers.
Inspired by the surfers’ find, Pacifico continues to fuel the thirst for discovery, because good things come to those who seek them out. Explore the story that’s inspired countless others by visiting discoverpacifico.com and instagram.com/pacificobeer.
About Hublot
Hublot is a Swiss watch manufacturer founded in 1980 and based in Nyon. For its first ever timepiece, this fundamentally disruptive company combined gold with a rubber strap in a case with a design inspired by a ship’s porthole (hublot in French). Thus, the Art of Fusion was born, blending tradition, innovation, craftsmanship, worlds and talents. It became the brand's aesthetic and technical signature.
This identity was strengthened in 2005 with the Big Bang, which attested to unrivalled know-how in terms of complications, manufacture movements and state-of-the-art materials. Carbon, titanium, ceramic and sapphire have been developed on this model to technical extremes.
This ground-breaking, high-quality approach to watchmaking is summed up in its philosophy ‘Be First, Unique and Different.’ Leading to further collections with innovative designs: Classic Fusion, Shaped Collections including Spirit of Big Bang, Square Bang and Manufacture Pieces. These draw on high levels of craftsmanship, both in terms of the materials so dear to Hublot (such as Magic and King Gold, brightly-colored ceramics and sapphires) and its manufacture movements (Unico chronograph, Meca-10 and high complications such as the Tourbillon, the Cathedral Minute Repeater and the specific Manufacture Pieces movements).
