Blancpain

Blancpain, founded in 1735 by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain in Villeret, Switzerland, is one of the oldest and most prestigious Swiss watchmaking houses. With over 280 years of history, Blancpain is known for its dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and a commitment to the art of traditional watchmaking.

Blancpain’s early success was built on its production of high-quality pocket watches and later complicated timepieces, including watches with minute repeaters and perpetual calendars. By the 19th century, Blancpain had established a reputation for creating some of the most precise and intricate watches of the time.

In the 1950s, Blancpain revolutionized the watch world with the introduction of the Fifty Fathoms, a pioneering diver’s watch that is still highly regarded today. Designed in collaboration with professional divers, the Fifty Fathoms featured a rotating bezel and water resistance—features that have become standard in modern dive watches.
