Haute Time: Attemtped Robbery At Switzerland Watch Exhibit Featuring New Blancpain X Fathoms
A crew of four robbers made their way into the exhibition at Cité du Temps in Geneva and destroyed cases, attempting to steal some of the X Fathoms watches, but the robbery was intercepted by company SIC.
A representative from Swatch, which owns the Blancpain brand, stated that “most of the watches” were recovered and one of the four thieves was taken into custody. However, the destruction caused to the show and timepieces forced the watch brand to shut down the exhibit earlier than anticipated.
