Blancpain celebrates World Oceans Day 2019

Blancpain 2019 celebration

June 8 marks World Oceans Day, celebrated unofficially since 1992, and officially recognised by the United Nations since 2008. On this day each year, the world celebrates the Ocean, its importance in our lives, and how we can protect it. Blancpain has produced a short film – “Pangatalan: Rebirth of an Island” – together with Laurent Ballesta and the Gombessa team to support the efforts of the Sulubaaï Foundation, and to inspire other local communities to launch similar initiatives. In addition to its regular participation in the United Nations World Oceans Day celebrations at the UN Headquarters in New York, Blancpain also supported the festivities at UNESCO, Paris.
