In receiving the award, Mr. Olivier Müller, CEO and founder of Villemont, commented: “I
was already thrilled about the extremely positive and encouraging response the Villemont
collection received in Malaysia, and today I am literally moved by this reward, which crowns
the work of my team. I am sure that this recognition will inspire us all to continue our quest for
distinction.”


The “Arctic Explorer® Lewis Pugh Limited Edition”, a sporty, masculine yet elegant automatic chronograph, was the model that accompanied Lewis Gordon Pugh throughout his voyage to the North Pole. Limited to only 50 pieces, this watch is equipped with the Solar Navigation® system which allows easy orientation based on the position of the sun and shade. All 50 watches travelled with our two explorers (Lewis Pugh and Jorgen Amundsen) to the North Pole and function perfectly even after withstanding extreme temperatures.

Villemont is giving part of the proceeds from the sale of the watches from this limited edition
model to support the WWF's fight against global warming. The 00/50 watch was given for
auction at the WWF Gala Dinner, which the prestigious conservation charity organised recently
in Hampton Court Palace, England, in the presence of his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales. The funds raised will enable precise data to be gathered on climate change, and allow
activities aimed at conserving the endangered flora and fauna.
