As a luxury brand that enjoys considerable popularity, the Swiss watchmaker Blancpain was founded in 1735 by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain. This House boasts a famous and oft-repeated slogan: "Since 1735, there has never been a quartz Blancpain watch. And there never will be."
Blancpain has always been interested in holorological expertise and innovation. Technical firsts have included the smallest minute repeater wristwatch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the world's slimmest chronograph and the first self-winding tourbillon watch with one-week power reserve.
