As a testament to the immovable values that it shares with sailors, Blancpain will further consolidate its participation in the nautical realm by associating itself with this event steeped in tradition.







Its engagement in this regatta bespeaks the Manufacture’s adoration of beauty and of hand-tailored precision, qualities cherished too by boat lovers. In the name of its imperishable amour for sailing, Blancpain was quite naturally wooed to participate in this splendid event. And wooed it was! ...succumbing to the soft coo of the lake bearing the name of one of its collections: the Léman.





With a sporty countenance, the watches that constitute the collection are characterised by their 100 meter water-resistance, a resistance guaranteed thanks to screw-down crowns, case-backs, and push-pieces. The Flyback Chronograph, which will be featured in a watercolour sketch by Philippe Persyn and given to all participants, is the most emblematic manifestation of the collection’s essence.

The technical virtuosity demonstrated by elite, antique ship-restorers is reflective of the Manufacture’s own pre-eminent inventiveness that has had the rest of the watch-making industry riding Blancpain’s coattails. For 270 years, it is this ethos of creativity that has pushed the Manufacture’s watchmakers to leave a definitive Blancpain stamp on the scroll of horologic history.

More strongly connected to sailing than ever, the Manufacture from Le Brassus is honoured to take part in this event and to hoist high upon its shoulders the noble traditions held by participants in this 30th Régate des Vieux Bateaux.
