Just a few days before the year-end festivities, Blancpain enjoyed the honour of hosting a special guest at its Manufacture in Le Brassus today: German actor Erol Sander. The latter has recently demonstrated his talent in Oliver Stone’s film “Alexander”, where he plays the role of the Persian Prince.

A passionate devotee of Blancpain and the proud owner of several watches by the brand, Erol Sander also attended the opening ceremony for the Blancpain Boutique in Munich at the start of 2006. On the occasion of a brief visit to Switzerland, this seasoned connoisseur of Haute Horlogerie was personally welcomed by Blancpain CEO Marc A. Hayek, who invited him to admire the meticulous work of the watchmakers in Le Brassus.
