A yachtie’s finely tuned sense of style has inspired a collaboration that extends the elegance of his chosen wristwear to his vessel. The result — a Glacier yacht customised to reflect the iconic “Bianchet Blue” of the Grande Date model — will debut at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024 from 25 to 29 September.
Swiss watchmaker Bianchet and Glacier Yachts, based in Riga, Latvia, have united to offer a unique customisation experience: matching the colours of Glacier’s high–performance yachts to the distinctive hues of Bianchet’s eye–catching timepieces. This partnership began with a passionate yacht enthusiast’s desire to infuse the elegance of a Bianchet sport tourbillon watch into his vessel.
However, this innovative union is more than just a colour match; it represents the fusion of two luxury design philosophies. Bianchet and Glacier Yachts share a commitment to modern design, high–tech materials, and precision engineering. This shared vision has created bespoke opportunities tailored to the tastes of both yacht and watch connoisseurs. The customised yacht draws inspiration from Bianchet’s Grande Date, a tourbillon wristwatch celebrated for its harmonious design, superior craftsmanship, and cutting–edge features. The yacht is priced at CHF 75 500 (excl. taxes).
Bianchet is renowned for blending traditional haute horlogerie techniques and modern design. Specialising in tourbillon timepieces, the brand is known for its commitment to precision, innovative materials, and the application of mathematical principles like the Golden Ratio. Each Bianchet watch is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship, innovative engineering, and an unyielding passion for fine watchmaking.
