Blancpain Watches are a pioneer in manufacturing complicated timepieces. They introduced new mechanisms of tourbillion, repeater and perpetual calendar. Jehan-Jacques Blancpain founded it in 1735 in Biel, Switzerland. Now, it is functioning under the leadership of Marc Hayek, the grandson of Nicolas Hayek, founder and chairperson of The Swatch Group. The company believes in quality and precision rather than volume. Their annual production is below 10,000 and that speaks volumes about their commitment and involvement for precision. Some of the watch lines that have brought popularity and fame to the company are Fifty-Fathoms and Le Brassus. The Fifty-Fathom was manufactured in 1953 and was used by the United States Navy. The sport watches are specially designed for underwater, French Oceanographer, Jacques Cousteau, wore it. This water-resistant timepiece soon received an iconic status and became the first choice while studying life in water. The love and relationship it has shared with the sea and ocean have strengthened over time. Today, the family of these watches has grown with continuation of several models presently in the market. The resistance capacity of these new brands under water is 1,000 m. The new water-resistant watches are sturdy, flashy and modern. The inside design of these watches is delicate, innovative yet complicated. Whether it is on the ground, in the air or under the water, there is no difference in performance. These models are true partners of those who are active in their lives and love to know every time and movement. The strong body and modern looks of these models highlight their adventurous nature. The one direction rotating bezel is an additional feature. This enables divers to position index marks and time their diving. They can see the figures and hands in the dark and decide when to come up to the surface. Other special timepieces are the Le Brassus watches. Le Brassus is a village in Switzerland where Blancpain watches first came into the market. The name of this watch is therefore taken from this hamlet. Made with high-precision mechanics, the complicated Le Brassus watches are the right watches to swell one’s collection. The series has played a major role in augmenting Blancpain’s tradition of innovation. With its important features, high difficulties, discreet art, and precious materials, these brands have truly held onto the heritage of the company since its establishment. The latest in watch to be added to the Blancpain family is the Carrousel wristwatch. The company launched this model in 2008 by analysing the complex features of the mechanism and compressing it to fit in the balance wheel from where it provides control over the rotation speed and propels it to make a complete turn in one minute precisely. The company has only produced a limited series of this model. In 2010, Blancpain introduced the Carrousel Minute Repeater watches. Continuing with this series, the company added the Carrousel Minute Repeater, which is self-winding.
