The prestigious and pioneering Swiss watchmaker Blancpain recently illuminated the façade of Dubai's iconic Burj Khalifa tower, the world's tallest building and one of the most impressive architectural constructions of all time.
On Thursday 21 October, visitors circulating in downtown Dubai enjoyed a captivating immersion into Blancpain's diver's watch collection and underwater universe thanks to a giant- size video clip projection on the over 800m-high Burj Khalifa. Blancpain, which is present in Dubai with two Boutiques (Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall) and at several Rivoli Prestige stores (www.blancpain.com/points-sale), enjoys significant historical links with the ocean, having launched the world's first modern diving watch, the Fifty Fathoms, in 1953. The Brand was proud to showcase its trailblazing connection with the underwater world in collaboration with Rivoli Group, a strong and longtime partner which contributed to strengthening Blancpain's presence in this significant market.
Founded in 1735 in the Swiss Jura, Blancpain is known as the world’s oldest watch Brand. Loyal to its tradition of innovation and confirmed by countless horological complications invented over the years, the Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie is constantly pushing the boundaries of watchmaking. This philosophy is conveyed through each of its creations and all its collections, including the classic Villeret, the legendary Fifty Fathoms diver's watch, the dainty Ladybird models and the one-of-a-kind Métiers d'Art pieces.
The Fifty Fathoms, a mainstay of Blancpain's watch offerings, embodies the Brand's passion for the underwater world. Its birth marked the starting point of Blancpain's collaborations with the ocean community, which have typified the 70 years since. The latest additions to the collection are extraordinary technical achievements as well as a tribute to the pioneers who made scuba diving possible. It is their dedication which opened up whole new vistas for underwater exploration and continue to inspire Blancpain in using innovative materials and new technical solutions in order to fulfil the most sophisticated demands.
Visit us and discover Blancpain's universe, which reflects passion, authenticity and horological know-how perpetuated for more than 280 years with the same quest for excellence, meticulous craftsmanship and technical innovation.
