A week ago, I'd an opportunity to visit the flagship US Blancpain boutique. It's positioned in Midtown Manhattan, on Madison Avenue, between 66th and 67th Street. The boutique is rather small, at about 1000 feet square, but within that space they Seiko SUJB24 probably have the widest selection of Blancpain watches in the country. For Blancpain, I prefer their sporty models, the Fifty Fathoms especially, so I photographed and tried on a handful of those. I additionally had a chance to read the Special edition Lamborghini Super Trofeo.
