Blancpain at the Swiss Michelin Guide Star Revelation ceremony
On Monday, October 17, Blancpain took part in the new Star Revelation ceremony of the Michelin Guide Switzerland 2022 from the campus of EHL, the Lausanne Hospitality Business School. On this occasion, the Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie had the privilege of presenting the Young Chef Award to Manuel Steigmeier. This young prodigy exhibits his talents at the Fahr restaurant in Künten-Sulz, in Aargau, which earned its first Michelin Star along with 29 other restaurants in Switzerland in 2022.
The Star Revelation ceremony was followed by a cocktail reception and an exclusive five-course gala dinner, the first to be held in Switzerland. The guests of the evening were able to savour the dishes of top chefs Peter Knogl (***), Jeroen Achtien (**), Cédric Bourassin (*) and Julien Boutonnet. A dedicated area allowed them to observe a Blancpain watchmaker at work on his bench, next to a chef who was also focused on his art. A great opportunity to notice the many similarities that exist between fine watchmaking and culinary preparation.
