EP87: What It's Like to Create a 'Piece Unique'

Ever wonder how a one-of-one 'Piece Unique' watch is made? Today, we have a very special guest: artist Grace Zhang who commissioned a Piece Unique from Blancpain's Métiers d'Art program, using her own original artwork for the dial. We take a fascinating look inside the process of creating both the art, and the watch itself.
