Blancpain opens its third Boutique in Dubai

Blancpain and Rivoli Group are proud to be opening their flagship Blancpain Boutique in the region’s latest retail hub – The Dubai Mall. The new Blancpain store dedicated to displaying the collections of the world’s oldest watch brand was officially inaugurated by Mrs. Nayla Hayek, Member of the Board of Directors of Swatch Group and Mr Ramesh Prabhakar, Managing Director, Rivoli Group.

The exquisite Boutique reflects the same spirit that pervades the workshops of Blancpain’s master watchmakers. The store has a distinctly rich outlook with subtle tones of elegance and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Aesthetically it creates a unique ambience characteristic of the brand’s touch of luxury and elegance. This Boutique is designed to offer consumers an insight into traditional Swiss watchmaking and an understanding of the core values of the Blancpain brand.

Speaking on the occasion, Mrs Hayek said, “The Swatch Group’s association with the Rivoli Group has indeed been very positive and successful in strengthening our brands’ presence in this prestigious market in the Middle East. The Group’s retailing expertise is well aligned with the growth path for Blancpain and we are glad to extend our business further with our third monobrand Boutique in Dubai at the city’s latest retail landmark – The Dubai Mall”.

This beautiful Boutique is the third successive Blancpain Boutique to be launched by Rivoli in Dubai. It started with the Boutique at the Emirates Towers store and recently another Blancpain Boutique was unveiled at Burjuman. Now with this new flagship store at The Dubai Mall, watch connoisseurs can expect to discover some unique timepieces from this heritage watch brand.
