Blancpain Founded in 1735 by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain the watch brand bearing his name is the oldest in the world. Blancpain is currently engaged to the renewal of mechanical watchmaking and to passing on exceptional expertise from one generation to the next through constant investment in human resources production facilities and research. This approach is its strength and the expression of our long-term vision even though it goes against the tide of a certain tendency to seek immediate profit. From the creation of components through to watch design Blancpain is distinguished by its ability to develop exceptional movements. Over the past eight years the Manufacture has indeed developed no less than 29 new calibres. Through its various models Blancpain preserves its heritage of precision and elegance while also displaying an innovative and occasionally provocative spirit. Blancpain the first watchmaking brand to unite its forces with the Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophies renews once again its support with the presentation of a unique timepiece. This one-of-a-kind model features mother-of-pearl marquetry diamonds and engraving associated in a ladies’ watch equipped with a self-winding movement. The oscillating weight visible on the back is hand-engraved with the silhouette of this symbolic dove as well as the Only Watch 2013 signature.
