In 1735, Jehan-Jacques Blancpain created a watchmaking workshop in the first floor of his house in Villeret. He wished for his family to continue on this trade, for he believed it was very crucial for one generation to carry on the gifts and acquired knowledge of the previous one. Since 1735 Blancpain has never produced a quartz watch and we never will," goes the credo of the company. Located in Le Brassus Switzerland, Blancpain has always had a reputation for manufacturing the finest mechanical and complicated timepieces such as the Flyback Rattrapante, Equation Marchante and of course the world renown Grand Complication Le Brassus. For those who desire the ultimate timepiece, Blancpain embodies the very finest in haute horologerie.
