Hublot CEO Jean-Claude Biver proudly presented the New York City amfAR gala to kick off Fashion Week 2011 at Cipriani Wall Street. In honor of amfAR’s 25th anniversary, Hublot pictured here with longtime amfAR supporter Richard Gere, has created a special limited edition collection of timepieces for men featuring the foundation’s colors and logo. The black tie benefit honored President Bill Clinton, Diane von Furstenberg and of course amfARs main dame Elizabeth Taylor for all her relentless Aids charity works through the years and who unfortunately has been recently hospitalized for treatment of congestive heart failure and we wish her well. The annual benefit which is one of the year’s most coveted was attended by 800 guests including Chelsea Clinton and new hubby Marc Mezvinsky who the tabloids have declared over, and featured a classic performance of “That’s What Friends are For” from legends Sir Elton John, Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick and Stevie Wonder.
