Last week, Blancpain’s U.S. Brand Manager, David Gely, brought one of the brand’s master engravers to its New York City flagship boutique at 645 5th Avenue to host an intimate evening cocktail party and to show off the skills of one of the manufacture’s in-house artisans. Visiting from Switzerland, engraver Christophe Bernardot demonstrated for guests the art of hand engraving on a watch dial, highlighting the incredible level of manual dexterity required to execute these miniaturized masterpieces. His work was also shown, through a magnified microscope, on a larger screen to give viewers a close-up look at how masters like Bernardot ply their craft.http://www.watchtime.com/wristwatch-industry-news/scene/blancpain-celebrates-the-art-of-engraving-at-new-york-flagship-boutique/?utm_source=WatchTime+Daily+Update&utm_campaign=6e24dbce07-WT+Daily&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8338768216-6e24dbce07-14531153&mc_cid=6e24dbce07&mc_eid=1436559a32
