The watch maker famous for the tagline “Since 1735, there has never been a quartz Blancpain watch. And there never will be." Blancpain is one of the most revered Swiss watchmakers known for its classical mechanical watches.
The foundation of the watch making company was laid by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain in 1735, in village of Villeret, Switzerland. Over a period of time with passing of the reins to successive generation of heirs, the company succeeded in establishing itself as a reputed watchmaker in the contemporary era. In order to keep up with the changes the company made a transition from craft based operation into a full fledged precision and batch mode oriented industrial operation. In the early 1930s, Blancpain entered the arena of wrist watches with the launch of “Rolls", an automatic wrist watch using "roller winding". However, with the untimely death of the Seventh generation heir Frédéric-Emile Blancpain in 1932, the holding of Blancpain family over the company ended. Unable to adjust to the fast industrialization of the watchmaking industry and mechanization of the movements, the company started loosing its foothold and was subsequently acquired by Swiss Watch Industry Corporation Ltd (SWATCH) in 1970. This acquisition turned out to be failure and Blancpain went into a deep slumber.
In 1983, An Omega executive intervened and set the company on the path of recovery. He realized that the USP of Blancpain lies in its craft based operations only, not in run of the mill quartz watch production with focus on creative and complicated timepieces. Even as on date the company headquarters are located in a farmhouse where each watchmaker individually works on their own watch from start till finish unlike the assembly line production mechanism. Produced less that 10,000 a year, each component is highest quality and hand deployed. The designs don’t vary radically and continue to carry on the traditions of classical handmade mechanical watches.
To time piece aficionados these timepieces are a befitting tribute to the ingenuity of mechanical watches. In a typical round of classic cases these watches are timeless beauty handcrafted to perfection. If you are a watch connoisseur, then “A Blancpain” is a must to complete your collection.
