A burglary attempt occurred yesterday on the X Fathoms exhibition at “Cité du Temps” in Geneva. It seems like some people are ready to risk their life for Blancpain timepieces!

Fortunately, nobody was hurt during the robbery and thanks to the efficient intervention of the security company (SIR) one of the four thieves was quickly arrested and most of watches were found back. However the damages caused on several pieces gives no choice but to close the doors of this event earlier than scheduled.
