SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hublot proudly welcomes Jung Kook, global artist, performer, and member of 21st century pop icons, BTS, as its new Global Brand Ambassador. The announcement has been celebrated in Seoul, marking the fusion of two worlds that have redefined what it means to be original: a watchmaker that reshaped modern horology and an artist who reshaped the sound and rhythm of a generation. From the first fusion of gold and rubber in 1980, to the shockwave of the Big Bang in 2005 and now the reinvention of the Big Bang Original Unico, Hublot has turned innovation into identity. Jung Kook mirrors that same spirit: blending genres, creativity, emotions and instinct. The collaboration is not a coincidence; it is a convergence. Both the artist and Hublot go back to their origins, carrying with them the unmistakable DNA that makes them stand apart. Hublot announces Jung Kook as new global Ambassador On the partnership, Jung Kook stated: "Performing Dreamers at the FIFA World Cup in 2022, with Hublot as Official Timekeeper of the competition, was a moment where time and music felt connected. Now, collaborating with Hublot feels like that moment coming full circle. I've always admired the brand's confidence, its craftsmanship, its way of creating its own path. Julien Tornare, Hublot CEO, affirmed: "Jung Kook is one of the most influential artists of his generation. His precision, his passion and his willingness to push boundaries reflect the very spirit of Hublot. Just as we continuously rethink, refine and re-engineer our creations, from the fusion of materials to the mastery of our in-house movements, Jung Kook carries the spirit of evolution, always transforming, always original. We are honored to welcome him into the Hublot family." BEYOND APPEARANCES: THE INNER ESSENCE WITHIN JUNG KOOK X HUBLOT Just as Hublot has evolved through innovation and reinvention, both are defined by depth and substance. In the same way, Hublot reveals its essence through mastery of its manufacture, the fusion of materials and technologies and the creation of its in-house Unico movement. In 2005, Hublot did more than introduce a watch: it ignited a modern revolution. With the Big Bang, Hublot took fusion and turned it into modern alchemy, created a new visual language and established a design that that has marked two decades, defining Hublot's legacy and continuing to shape what's next. Since 2013, the year of his debut on stage, Jung Kook has blended genres, creativity and emotions, shaping a voice unmistakably his own. Today, with the 2026 announcement of Jung Kook as Global Brand Ambassador, Hublot celebrates the meeting of an artist who redefines originality and a watch that has just returned to its own beginnings with the Big Bang Original Unico. WHY THE BIG BANG ORIGINAL UNICO BELONGS ON JUNG KOOK'S WRIST The Big Bang Original Unico, launched in January 2026, carries twenty years of Hublot mastery, from the very first fusion in 1980, to the design revolution of 2005, to its reinvention in 2026. It is built layer by layer, just as the artist builds himself song by song. Jung Kook's career reflects a journey defined by ongoing growth and artistic exploration. His work continues to evolve in ways that build on past achievements while opening new creative possibilities. In this context, the Big Bang Original Unico serves as a meaningful partner that aligns with his individual style and artistic direction—rather than a symbol of any singular narrative. This is why the Big Bang Original Unico is not just a timepiece on his wrist. It is an extension of his creative code. HUBLOT In 1980 and for the first time, a watch dared to put a gold case on a rubber strap, turning the luxury watch world upside down in the process. Named for the porthole-shaped bezel with its exposed screws, Hublot was born and with it, the Art of Fusion. In 2005 the brand took this exercise in creative thinking to a new level with the Big Bang and its iconic design, size and layered construction case. That same year, Hublot received the Best Design award at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève. Since then, spurred by this revolutionary mindset, the Big Bang has never stopped reinventing itself. The twenty-first century has its first watch Icon. The concept of fusion is omnipresent, the guiding principle for every collection. Big Bang timepieces reshape the geometries of time; Classic Fusion balances boldness and restraint, while the Exceptional Timepieces overwrite expectations to create unprecedented horological objects. With its disruptive approach of challenging convention, Hublot's DNA is transcribed in the Unico, Meca-10 and tourbillon in-house movements, to add another tier of meaning to the Art of Fusion. Alchemy is ingrained into Hublot and not just at La Manufacture. Magic can take place on a football pitch, producing partnerships with major events (UEFA Champions League and UEFA Euro™). Sometimes it happens at a concert, a basketball match, an artistic performance or at a unique gastronomic experience with Hublot's family of starred Chefs. And so, the Hublot Vibes come to life, through shared moments of exaltation amongst the Hublotistas, its very own community of proud Hublot owners. The Art of Fusion goes beyond the tangible. It is a way of being, the Hublot way of life. THE UNIQUENESS OF THE HUBLOT UNICO IN-HOUSE MOVEMENT Born in 2010, the Unico was the first movement entirely designed, developed and manufactured in-house by Hublot, marking a new era of independence, innovation and identity for the brand. Over the years, it has evolved into a bold and unmistakable signature of Hublot watchmaking, known for its robust and revolutionary chronograph design. With standout features like a front-facing column wheel, silicon escapement, the Unico movement is a mechanical force that's as visually striking as it is technically advanced. It's not just what powers the watch, it's what defines it. Key features include an integrated flyback chronograph precise to 1/8th of a second for instant reset and restart, an accuracy of -2/+4 seconds per day, a 72-hour power reserve. The movement also holds five patented innovations, covering: dual oscillating clutches, an anti-trembling system, a "zero friction" ratchet wheel blocker, a fine balance wheel adjustment system and constant-pressure friction system for the minute counter all rigorously tested through Hublot's Chronofiable® protocol to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and precision.

ZUG, Switzerland, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Berlin Heals Holding AG, a MedTech company focused on transformative therapies for heart failure, today announced the successful closing of a new financing round, raising over 10M USD from a combination of existing shareholders and new investors. The funding will be used to advance the company's cardiac microcurrent technology and expand its clinical research program. Berlin Heals has developed a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of heart failure based on its proprietary implantable device, C-MIC (Cardiac Microcurrent). The system has already demonstrated impressive clinical outcomes, but the company continues to expand on the evidence. Berlin Heals will be presenting updated clinical data at major cardiology conferences throughout this year, as well as publish new publications. Berlin Heals is entering the next phase of innovation, focusing on less invasive implantation techniques and enhanced device designs intended to broaden patient eligibility and streamline future adoption. The newly secured capital will support expanding indications into wider patient populations and begin larger double blinded trials to prepare for the FDA IDE submission. Berlin Heals has previously demonstrated sustained functional and quality-of-life improvements in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy treated with C-MIC. Long-term follow-up data from early studies continue to support the durability of the therapy, reinforcing confidence in the company's clinical and regulatory strategy. John Brumfield, Chief Executive Office of Berlin Heals Holding, added: "Closing this financing round marks an important milestone for us. We are deeply thankful to our Co-Founder of Berlin Heals Holding Ltd. and the Member of the Board – Marko Bagaric for achieving another impressive round of financing. His long-term vision and dedication to this company is crucial for the trust of our long-standing shareholders and welcoming new investors who share our vision. Having this strong background and support, together with our clinical data, we now have even more confidence to move into less invasive solutions that could significantly expand the impact of our therapy. This funding allows us as well to take decisive steps toward global commercialization." Rob ten Hoedt, Board Chairman of Berlin Heals Holding AG, commented: "Heart failure remains an area of tremendous unmet medical need. Having followed the growth of Berlin Heals, I am convinced that this technology has the potential to redefine how we treat heart failure patients. This financing enables the company to translate its innovation into a therapy that can reach many more patients worldwide and influence greatly their quality of life." Berlin Heals Holding AG is a Swiss joint-stock company founded in 2014. The company's C-MIC technology delivers a constant electrical microcurrent to the heart, generating a localized electrical field designed to improve cardiac function. Based on clinical studies to date, this approach has shown the potential to deliver rapid and sustained benefits for patients suffering from heart failure.

BEIJING, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chinese President Xi Jinping visited primary-level officials and residents in Beijing during a two-day inspection tour from Monday to Tuesday, extending Spring Festival greetings to Chinese people at home and abroad ahead of the festival, the Xinhua News Agency reported. Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, wished them good health, career success, and family happiness. He also wished the country peace and prosperity in the Year of the Horse. The inspection marked Xi's first local inspection tour in 2026, the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), according to a separate report of the Xinhua News Agency. Putting the people first On Tuesday morning, Xi came to a Beijing downtown community which was renovated to be barrier-free and age-friendly. He visited a community canteen for seniors to learn about the meal services provided there, Xinhua reported. In Xicheng district, Xi also visited an apartment complex for seniors, where he spent time with the elderly, wishing them health, longevity and a happy Spring Festival. Xi also talked with 3 deliverymen when he was visiting the community canteen. Xi inquired with solicitude about how long they had been working as deliverymen, whether their jobs were tiring, how their income was, and whether they would return home for the Spring Festival, according to Xinhua. Arriving at the Longfusi commercial area in Dongcheng District, Xi was briefed on urban renewal efforts there. He stopped by a store of the traditional bakery brand Daoxiangcun, where he watched pastry-making. At a Spring Festival market, he visited various stalls selling festive goods and talked with people there, sharing memories of his visits to the area when he was young. He also bought some specialty food and culture-themed products. Xi said he was very pleased to see the bustling, vibrant festive scene and well-stocked holiday goods there. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, it has been a long-standing practice for the country's top leader to visit grassroots officials and people from various walks of life across the country during festive occasions, offering greetings and extending best wishes, Xinhua said in a separate report. This people-centered approach is also reflected in the formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan, whose recommendations stress "putting the people first" and identify "further improvements in quality of life" as one of the main objectives of economic and social development during the new five-year plan period. The Chinese leader's choice of inspection sites carries clear and deliberate policy signals, reflecting both important demand-side considerations and the people-centered development philosophy, Hu Qimu, deputy secretary-general of the Forum 50 for Digital-Real Economies Integration, told the Global Times on Tuesday. "The 'silver economy' is emerging as a major source of domestic demand growth, as many retirees today have both the financial capacity and the willingness to consume," Hu said, adding that it will stimulate supply across a wide range of sectors – particularly services and emerging technologies like AI – creating new growth points. On the policy front, the central government allocated 141 billion yuan ($20.37 billion) in central fiscal funds in advance to support people in need at the start of the year, as local governments moved to shore up the social safety net and ensure disadvantaged groups stay warm through the winter and enjoy a safe and festive holiday season, CCTV reported on Monday. Achieving greater tech self-reliance On Monday morning, Xi visited a national information technology innovation park in Beijing E-Town, where he viewed displays showcasing sci-tech achievements in fields such as artificial intelligence and robotics, and spoke with researchers and heads of technology enterprises. Xi said he was "even more confident" in the country's sci-tech innovation after seeing what was presented during the visit. He stressed that sci-tech self-reliance and strength is the "key" in China's efforts to build a great modern socialist country and urged the Chinese capital to leverage its unique strengths to make greater contributions in this regard. Built in 2019, the park centers on IT innovation while expanding into frontier areas including artificial intelligence, quantum information, 6G communications and intelligent hardware, according to a statement the park sent to the Global Times on Monday. The Chinese leader's visit to an information technology innovation park highlights the central government's focus on scientific and technological innovation as the core driver of the transition toward new-quality productive forces, Su Jian, a professor at Peking University's School of Economics and director of its National Center for Economic Research, told the Global Times on Tuesday. Information technology, Su said, is a core enabler for cutting-edge fields such as AI, the digital economy and even aerospace, and the visit clearly signals a push to tackle bottlenecks in key technologies, including semiconductors. The recommendations for the 15th Five-Year Plan call for achieving greater self-reliance and strength in science and technology and steering the development of new quality productive forces, emphasizing that Chinese modernization is underpinned by modernization in science and technology. Liu Gang, chief economist of the Chinese Institute of New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Strategies, said 2026 is a decisive starting point for determining the successful implementation of China's science-and-technology self-reliance strategy over the next five years. "The inspection helps clarify strategic goals in emerging and future industries and sends a clear, positive signal to both industry and society," he told the Global Times. At the park, Galaxy General – an embodied multimodal foundation-model robotics company – demonstrated its Galbot G1 robot. In a statement sent to the Global Times, founder and chief technology officer Wang He who took part in Monday's meeting said the company stands ready to serve as a core vehicle for China's participation in global tech competition and Beijing's efforts during the 15th Five-Year Plan period to build world-class technology enterprises. Amid increasingly pronounced major-power competition, the push for scientific and technological self-reliance is aimed not only at the 15th Five-Year Plan but at laying a solid industrial foundation and accumulating momentum for a much longer horizon to advance Chinese modernization, Su said. The inspection's dual focus on people's livelihoods and technological innovation reflected the top leadership's enduring care for public well-being and its commitment to a people-centered development philosophy, while also sending a clear signal of policy continuity as China doubles down on breakthroughs in technology sectors to accelerate new growth engines and underpin long-term economic transformation, Chinese experts said. Regional hubs gain traction During the trip, Xi heard a work report by Beijing municipal authorities and gave his approval for the city's progress across the board, Xinhua reported. He asked the Chinese capital to seize the opportunity of enlarging the Beijing (Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region) international sci-tech innovation center to strengthen its innovation coordination and industrial cooperation with Tianjin and Hebei, per Xinhua. China's innovation drive is backed by the collaboration of regional clusters. Cities such as Beijing are also accelerating the building of international sci-tech innovation centers, markedly lifting innovation capacity, competitiveness and spillover effects. A report released last month by Peking University showed that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei collaborative innovation index rose from 100 in 2013 to 388.0 in 2024, with an average annual growth rate of 13.1 percent, according to the Beijing Daily. Su said the choice of Beijing as the first stop reflects recognition of the city's role as a national – and increasingly global – innovation hub, aligning with the central government's emphasis on the spatial layout of innovation and demonstrating continuity and sustained policy support.
