Blancpain begins its history in 1735 when 42 year old Jan-Jacques Blancpain opened his first watchmaker. This has become a family business that was continued by next generations. Blancpain family worked hard being sure that one day their watches would gain great popularity and high reputation.
Grandson of Jan-Jacques Blancpain, David-Louis Blancpain founded a college and began selling Blancpain watches to the neighboring France and Germany. French revolution interfered with many aspects of life, but Blancpain managed to survive and even to prosper. Frederic-Lois Blancpain, one of the sons of David-Louis Blancpain headed the company immediately after he returned from the army of Napoleon where he was an officer.
The 1970-ties were the most difficult period in the history of Blancpain. This was the time of "electronic-quartz war" when all the Swiss watch making industry got in a crisis. Many watch manufacturers had to stop their business. The modern world is very cruel: after the 10-year "silence" the name of the company with 200-year history was forgotten.
The new history of Blancpain started on the 9th of 1983 when the company was headed by Jean-Claude Biver. The new factory was opened in Le Brassus, the region that was famous for talented watchmakers.
At that time the philosophy of Blancpain was determined. During all the 268 years of the company's existence it has not made even a single quartz or digital watch. And no quartz watch in the future, only mechanical timepieces! This is the creed of the company that has always been faithful to the traditions of the art of watch making.
Creative ideas and experience were passed from generation to generation of Blancpain watch makers. Being faithful to traditions did not prevent Blancpain from keeping up with the times. Blancpain is always open for innovations and improvements that allow to reach harmony between elegancy and functionality.
Today, as well as 200 years ago Blancpain manufactures only high-quality, complicated and elegantly designed watches. Blancpain watches are the best option for those who appreciate traditions of the art of watchmaking!
