Blancpain rewards the owner of an exceptional horse

Inspired by a shared love of beauty and the tireless pursuit of perfection, Blancpain is partnering the World Arabian Horses Championship held in Paris (France), from December 7th to 9th 2007.

In awarding the Official Blancpain Prize to the Michalów Stud, owner of “KWESTURA”, born on February 10th 1995, who earned the highest marks in various trials, the world’s oldest watchmaking brand celebrates a discipline that combines beauty with elegance, qualities that also distinguish fine luxury watchmaking.

The Official Blancpain Prize rewards an exceptional purebred Arabian horse and highlights the constant search for perfection and the philosophy of excellence binding the equestrian world to that of the Manufacture in Le Brassus.

Blancpain presented The Michalów Stud with an 18-carat red-gold full-calendar “Hunter” watch, featuring a 100-hour power reserve, an opaline dial and gold applied facetted hour-markers.

Through its natural distinction and remarkable performances, this self-winding double-hunter timepiece, specially engraved for the occasion, reflects the historical values of respect for authenticity and meticulous attention to detail which the Manufacture Blancpain shares with the world of thoroughbred horse-breeders.
