The Rake x Blancpain

At Maybourne's newest addition in London, The Emory, The Rake raised a glass to Blancpain's iconic Villeret collection.

The Rake x Blancpain

An evening at The Emory is never an evening wasted. In celebration of Blancpain’s Villeret collection, friends of The Rake warmed their cockles with a cigar, cocktail and champagne-fuelled soiree hosted at The Emory Cigar Merchants, where they were invited to observe the inner machinations of the legacy brand. Master horologists showcased the best of Villeret under golden lamplight, refracted in the personalised Blancpain 1735 ice cubes that clinked in the hands of a captivated audience.

Speeches were made and bespoke lighters were produced to enjoy some of London's finest cigars, all while cocooned from the frosty fugue that had descended on the city below.
