The
longest and most remarkable watchmaker in history. Imer Blancpain
was christened on 13 May 1639 in the village of Villeret, beside
the River Suze in the Swiss Jura valley of Erguel.
Jehan-Jacques Blancpain (born 1693) great-grandson of Imer, started the family business, making ébauches and parts in 1735, according to the earliest records. By mastering every complication, by refusing ever to manufacture a quartz watch, and by expressing time only in the shape of a circle, Blancpain remains the standard by which the art of traditional watchmaking is measured. Shunning compromise and unreservedly committed to excellence, its convictions are as relevant as ever. Remaining faithful to the tradition of pure craftsmanship, thirteen generations of watchmakers have passed down their creativity and expertise for more than 250 years. This heritage is also an integral part of every Blancpain timepiece, making it a precious object to be passed down from generation to generation. | |
