or the second consecutive year, Bianchet partners with Polo Rider Club in the prestigious settings of the Polo Club of Saint Tropez Haras de Gassin, where the international tournament will bring together the best polo clubs from around the world for 10 days, from 14 to 24 June 2023, all playing with the same rules in a single club.
Bianchet, which creates fine tourbillon timepieces, marrying peerless Haute Horlogerie techniques, high-tech materials, and thousand-year-old design principles, embodies a new essence of style in contemporary watchmaking. The Swiss watch brand partners with organisations and initiatives driven by passion and animated by style and elegance, that reflect the brand’s uncompromising quest for beauty and elegance.
One of the oldest known sports in the world, opolo is a game of precision, balance, strength, and mastery, which marries tradition and timeless elegance. All qualities that are present in every Bianchet tourbillon watch.
During this 2023 edition of the Polo Rider Club, twelve teams, each representing a different international polo club, will compete in the sumptuous setting of the Polo Resort & Country Club Saint-Tropez. The tournament will confront some of the best teams in the world, with a handicap of 10 -12 goals, in five timed-chukkers of 7 minutes 30 each per game, for a total of 30 games.
