Official Blancpain Prize Awarded

Blancpain rewards an exceptional horse’s owner

Impelled by its shared adoration of beauty and by its fascination with perfection, Blancpain partnered Sharjah Equestrian & Racing Club on the 7th Sharjah International Arabian Horse festival, which took place from the 5th to the 7th of April, 2006.

In its pursuit of perfection, Blancpain, one of the oldest and finest watch-making brands in the world, awarded HRH Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz, owner of the horse Marquis Cahr with an 18-carat white-gold full calendar Hunter watch, which features a 100-horse power reserve and gold applied facetted indexes.
The exceptional purebred Arab horse scored the highest points in the contest that took place on Friday, 7th April.

The self-winding hunter timekeeper, especially engraved for the occasion, reflects in its distinction and remarkable performance the historical values of respect for authenticity and meticulous attention to detail, which the Manufacture Blancpain, Le Brassus, shares with the world of horse breeders.
