Blancpain

As the oldest surviving watchmaking brand, founded in 1735, Blancpain represents the pinnacle of traditional Swiss haute horlogerie. The brand revolutionized diving watches with the 1953 introduction of the Fifty Fathoms, the first modern diving watch that set standards still relevant today. Their mastery of complex complications is exemplified in the Le Brassus collection, while the elegant Villeret line showcases their classical watchmaking expertise. Known for their commitment to traditional craftsmanship, refusing to produce quartz watches, and their mastery of artistic métiers, including shakudō and damascene, Blancpain continues to push the boundaries of mechanical watchmaking while preserving centuries-old techniques.
