Blancpain officially opens its first Boutique in Bahrain

Blancpain has set up its very first Boutique on Bahrain soil. Blancpain and AlMudaifa Jewels are proud to have opened their flagship Blancpain Boutique in the latest luxury retail hub – The Moda Mall. The new Blancpain store is dedicated to displaying the collection and exquisite time pieces of the world’s oldest watch brand.

The superb 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. Cherry wood is the predominant theme, clothing the walls and furniture with its warm amber tones.

Noble wood work, refined mouldings, pure, streamlined furniture, along withtraditional wrought iron catches adorning the windows and displays. Comfortable leather chairs welcome visitors, who can thus savour a ‘lounge’ atmosphere in which to discover subtle timepieces created in harmony with the noblest watchmaking traditions and provide an area conductive to friendly exchanges, a value Blancpain consistently cultivates in conjunction with an inimitable art of hospitality and timehonoured expertise. 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.

As this is the first flagship store in Bahrain, expected passers-by may stop to peekthrough the small wooden windows that open like translucent jewel-cases into the new Blancpain Boutique. They may well find themselves imperceptibly drawn towards the intimate warmth emanating from within. Thus, watch connoisseurs can expect to discover some unique timepieces from this heritage watch brand.
