Blancpain Marketing

Blancpain rules the strip in Vegas this week with the electronic sign outside Caesar’s. It was really cool to see them placed so prominently. Enjoyed my visit to the boutique as well.

Beautiful - love me that gold FF

They were heavily advertising in the UAE last year when I was there, and the boutiques were a pleasure to visit. None of this bundling/waitlist/empty case nonsense...

I used to visit Vegas for work and always tried to find time to get around the ADs/boutiques.

The blue with satin gold just works! And yes, it’s nice to actually have a conversation about the watches/Horology with knowledgeable staff and not be talking about what’s unavailable. Here are a few more pics.

I love their movements, so well finished and the technicals of it just blow a lot of in-house movement makers out of the way.

I would love to see more innovative case designs coming out from them, cause they definitely have their movement credentials there.

If only, they created a slimmer case profile for the whole fifty fathoms range, and maybe a nicer taper for their cases.

Love it! Watch-shopping in Vegas was one of my favorite pre-COVID trips. Looks like you had a great time; those are some beautiful watches.

Blancpain FF is my favorite diver by a mile – or is it fathom?

I suspect 2023 will be an interesting year for Fifty Fathoms novelties. 70 year anniversary. I’d like to see 42mm and 45mm options offered.

The watch scene is my favorite part of Vegas. This trip there were no crowds and eager sales staff.

Love that GO SeaQ Pano

It's fun to look at exotica in the boutiques - something I've not done for a while.
