Dani García began his time in Switzerland by visiting the Blancpain watch Manufacture located in the Vallée de Joux. The Michelin-starred chef thus had an opportunity to discover the brand DNA and his reaction was enthusiastic: “I realize just how complex creating a watch truly is. In my cuisine, I create dishes from around four to five ingredients, whereas a watch movement comprises several hundreds.”
These engraved watches celebrated the common denominators between the two worlds: a quest for excellence, passionate enthusiasm, expertise, precision, sureness of touch and meticulous craftwork. Blancpain has nurtured special relationships with the the great names of haute cuisine since 30 years, with over 100 Michelin stars studded around its circle of friends that includes Joël Robuchon and the young Andalusian chef Dani García.
The ongoing friendship between chef Dani García and Blancpain was showcased at two stellar evening events. On this occasion, a number of friends of the brand as well as representatives of the press enjoyed the opportunity to sample the gourmet world explored by the Spanish chef through a six-course menu inspired by Andalusian flavors. Notably featuring caviar with cauliflower, green asparagus and dill mousse, as well as Spanish anchovies, black truffle and fragrant flower emulsion, the dishes were skilfully prepared in the hotel kitchens by Dani García, wearing his trusty Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback.
