Blancpain SA is a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer, headquartered in Paudex/Le Brassus. It designs, manufactures, distributes, and sells prestige and luxury mechanical watches.
Founded by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain in Villeret, Switzerland in 1735, Blancpain is the oldest surviving watchmaking brand in the world!
Jehan-Jacques Blancpain started making watches in 1735 in Villeret, Switzerland.[2][3] He founded the Blancpain brand, setting up his first workshop on the upper floor of his house at Villeret, in the present-day Bernese Jura. This part of the history is disputed. According to Perezcope, there is no evidence that Jehan-Jacques Blancpain and the following two generations were watchmakers.
In 1815, Frédéric-Louis Blancpain, the great-grandson of Jehan-Jacques, who was head of the family business at the time, modernized production methods and transformed the traditional craft workshop into an industrial undertaking capable of serial production. By replacing the crown-wheel mechanism with a cylinder escapement, Frédéric-Louis introduced a major innovation into the watchmaking world.
In the second half of the 19th century, as industrialization took hold, the prices of watchmaking products were falling and many workshops were fated to close down. To face up to American competition, in 1865 Blancpain built a two-storey factory by the River Suze and made use of water power to supply the electricity needed for its production processes. By modernizing its methods and concentrating on top-of-the-line products, Blancpain became one of the few watchmaking firms to survive in Villeret.
Blancpain is famous for being the creator of one of the most complicated mechanical watches ever made, the Blancpain 1735, which is a true grand complication (Tourbillon, minute repeater, perpetual calendar, split chrono), a limited edition of 30 pieces only, production of just one piece per year.
One of Blancpain's company slogans is "Blancpain has never made a quartz watch and never will".
According to their commercial slogans, the company has never produced quartz watches in the past and has stated in its advertisements that it never will, nor have they ever produced watches with digital displays. In comparison to a large watchmaker like Rolex, which makes about 2,000 watches a day, Blancpain produces fewer than thirty watches per day. Each watch is made by a single watchmaker.

Blancpain chic heavy wooden watch box and Blancpain white book (see pics).
The leather insert inside this luxurious watch box has some wear.
Distinctive design.
High recognition value.
General professional pre-sale service was made in December 2024: the watch is keeping good time and working perfectly.
Excellent condition, never worn: the wristwatch comes from luxury watch-shop showcase. Leather straps often suffer from temperature in shop windows due to powerful spotlights, that's why the strap is replaced with brand-new one.
My personal authenticity and quality warranty: you will get warranty card, fully completed, stamped and signed.
Insured, registered shipping worldwide with DHL Express: it’s not cheap, especially because of very heavy watch box, but fast and reliable, two days in Europe, three days worldwide. If you refuse the heavy wooden box, at your request, I can replace it with a travel watch box, noticeably lighter, which will reduce shipping costs
Personal opinion: the offered golden Léman is one of most beautiful classical watches ever and attractive investment in haute couture intemporelle!
