CLERC Launches Openwater Heroes Ocean Conservancy Initiative

big_logoOpenwater Heroes is CLERC’s new Ocean Conservancy Program dedicated to generating and expanding awareness of specific ocean conservancy initiatives throughout the world.

Every year, CLERC will promote and raise awareness for specific causes dedicated to preserving the beauty and health of our marine ecosystems.  The individuals spearheading these causes will be selected as CLERC Openwater Heroes then recognized and rewarded for their efforts and leadership.

According to CLERC CEO Gérald Clerc:

“Our Hydroscaph watches were born from the oceans, and extreme underwater conditions at depth drive everything we do on the engineering side. The same can be said for the aesthetic side of our timepieces. So it’s only natural that CLERC should strive to give back to the oceans for inspiring us. We will do this by promoting significant ocean causes and the selfless heroes behind them who too often remain unknown and uncelebrated.”

Gerald, himself a certified scuba diver, believes the oceans are increasingly being threatened by industrialisation, consumption, and energy exploration. Yet the beauty of the wide oceans and the life they contain is a gift to all mankind and deserves protection and preservation.

CLERC’s Openwater Heroes promotional efforts will undoubtedly benefit from the brand’s newly-announced partnership with Sub Aviator Systems – making it the first Swiss luxury dive watch company ever to conceive and test its watches in partnership with a luxury submarine builder at their underwater testing facilities.

Welcome to Openwater!

Welcome to Openwater! This is your new CLERC blog.

Founded in 1874 and based in Geneva, Switzerland, CLERC manufactures powerful luxury exploration machines designed for extreme life conditions – the kind you find at 1,500 feet below sea level. At those depths, survival depends on uncompromising quality, precision, toughness, and reliability. This is how CLERC has been crafting watches for 140 years.

But on land and in everyday life, discerning luxury watch lovers expect comfort, elegance, style, and prestige.

So we said, why not have both? And set out to create a new breed of luxury watch called CLERC Hydroscaph. It combines raw power with pure luxury in a distinctly identifiable timepiece. And there’s nothing else like it in the world.

This blog is the story of these amazing exploration machines and the people who own them. We’ll be talking about the watches themselves, of course. But also about the craftsmanship and the manufacturing know-how it takes to design and build the CLERC Hydroscaphs. We’ll highlight our artisans, we’ll highlight you, our Clerciste customers and fans, and promote the CLERC way of life from all over the world.

We welcome your comments and suggestions on Facebook or Twitter. We hope you’ll enjoy our new Instagram presence, so come and follow us there too. And of course we welcome all comments on this blog.

Thanks for diving with us into this new exciting journey. We look forward to your participation!

Your CLERC team.
