TIME TO PROTECT THE PLANET

« The conservation of biodiversity is the most important problem of our time.“ Harrison Ford

Hamilton unveils the Khaki Conservation, created in collaboration with Harrison Ford, to support Conservation International.

Harrison Ford’s love of action is not limited to daring stunts.It also embraces his commitment to finding innovative solutions to combat the threats posed to the global environment. For more than 17 years the actor has been on the board of directors of Conservation International, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting life on earth and to demonstrating that human societies will thrive when in balance with nature.

Hamilton has been future-oriented throughout its 116-year existence and obviously feels that it is time to help protect the planet. Therefore, it has made a financial commitment to Conservation International to support this organization’s valuable work around the world.

MAKING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE

The Khaki Conservation timepieces have GMT functionality, with the second time zone selection covering a range of focus locations for Conservation International (CI) projects in the world’s from Colombia to Indonesia most sensitive natural ecosystems, from Mexico to Indonesia. Harrison Ford was actively involved in the design of the watches and his signature of stylish adventure is clearly evident. The classical black dial bears bold numbers with inner and outer counter rings adding a touch of edgy dynamism. And just as the success of every heroic stunt depends on meticulous attention to detail, these watches come with crafted finishing touches such as fine cut-out hands and date windows,or studded and stitched leather strap.

EVERY SECOND COUNTS

The preservation of planet Earth is extremely time-critical. The high-precision Swiss Automatic GMT movement in the Khaki Conservation watches, visible through the see-through case back, mirrors this fact. Decorating this ’window’ is the engraved signature of Harrison Ford together with the Conservation International logo. Harrison Ford vividly sums up the urgency of environmental protection in his own words - “ Our health relies entirely on the vitality of our fellow species on Earth. When we protect the places where the processes of life can flourish, we strengthen not only the future of medicine, agriculture and industry, but also the essential condition for peace and prosperity.” The Khaki Conservation collection not only has the function of tracking the fragile passage of time – a significant amount from each watch sold will go directly to the Conservation International organization to support its vital work in over 40 countries around the world.

CONSERVATION  INTERNATIONAL

  

Conservation International (CI) applies innovations in science,economics, policy and community participation to protect the Earth’s richest regions of plant and animal diversity and demonstrate that human societies can live harmoniously with nature.Founded in 1987,

CI works in more than 40 countries on four continents to help people find economic alternatives without harming their natural environments.

ECOSYSTEM

Nearly three-quarters of the world’s most threatened birds, amphibians, and mammals and over half of all the world’s plants live in just a tiny fraction of the Earth’s surface – the biodiversity hotspots. Environmental pressures have already taken a serious toll in these regions. To date, every hotspot has lost at least 70 percent of its original natural vegetation. Their ecosystem values are estimated at roughly 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars annually. Their value to local and global communities could have been much higher if we had stopped them from becoming the hotspots they are today. Conservation International is focused on stopping them from losing even one percent more.Complementing this approach are the high biodiversity wilderness areas – 5 of the wildest untouched places on earth. Thanks to their intact state they are able to provide local and global benefits to humanity estimated at about 2.3 trillion U.S. dollars annually.
