Blancpain, the esteemed Swiss luxury watchmaker, has announced the latest addition to its distinguished circle of culinary partners: Michelin-starred chef Christophe Hay. This exciting partnership reaffirms Blancpain’s deep-rooted connection with haute cuisine, a bond that has flourished for decades through collaborations with some of the world’s most celebrated chefs.


A Shared Passion for Excellence


For over 35 years, Blancpain has maintained a special relationship with the world of fine dining, working alongside legendary chefs such as Joël Robuchon, Edgard Bovier, and now Christophe Hay. This connection is founded on shared values—precision, craftsmanship, innovation, and an unwavering pursuit of perfection. Just as Blancpain meticulously crafts each timepiece with technical mastery and artistic elegance, Chef Hay brings a similar philosophy to his culinary creations, focusing on authenticity, seasonality, and sustainability.


Christophe Hay: A Visionary in Haute Cuisine


Chef Christophe Hay is renowned for his modern and refined approach to French gastronomy. His dedication to locally sourced ingredients, sustainable practices, and traditional techniques has earned him multiple Michelin stars. In recent years, his flagship restaurant, Fleur de Loire, has gained critical acclaim for its exceptional culinary artistry and commitment to environmental responsibility.

Hay’s philosophy resonates with Blancpain’s ethos—honoring heritage while embracing innovation. His cuisine, much like Blancpain’s timepieces, tells a story of craftsmanship, passion, and excellence. This partnership marks a new chapter in Blancpain’s ongoing relationship with the world of haute cuisine, reinforcing its commitment to the art de vivre—the art of living well.


Blancpain’s Enduring Connection to Haute Cuisine


Blancpain’s affinity for fine dining extends beyond partnerships; the brand has actively supported the culinary arts through various initiatives, including:

  • Exclusive culinary events showcasing collaborations between master watchmakers and renowned chefs.

  • Limited-edition timepieces inspired by the world of gastronomy.

  • Sponsorship of elite culinary institutions, ensuring the continued evolution of fine dining.

With Chef Christophe Hay now part of the Blancpain family, this legacy of excellence is set to continue, bringing new inspiration and creativity to the intersection of haute horology and haute cuisine.


A Taste of the Future

The fusion of fine watchmaking and haute cuisine is a testament to Blancpain’s belief that luxury is not just about time—it’s about moments, experiences, and the pursuit of perfection in all its forms.
