Blancpain adds Michelin-starred friends of the brand

Blancpain announced the addition of double Michelin-starred Swiss chefs Dominik Sato and Fabio Toffolon – to whom the Brand presented the Young Chef Award at the 2023 Swiss Michelin Guide star ceremony – as Friends of the brand. Awarded to the most promising chef(s) under the age of 35, this distinction aims to inspire and encourage young chefs to perpetuate the culinary art. It is the junior counterpart to the Mentor Chef Award, also presented by the Manufacture, which recognises chefs committed to training young cooks and passing on their knowledge. To mark this delightful collaboration, the two brothers now wear Blancpain watches on their wrists: a Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback and a Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet. Made of black ceramic, a material characterised by its high scratch resistance and hypoallergenic qualities, these timepieces are perfect for use behind the stove.
