With almost 300 years of history, Blancpain remains the oldest Swiss watch brand, combining an unmatched artisanal heritage with the most modern technological advancements to deliver not just a watch but an experience to its buyers. The 2024 collection is a testament to this duality, featuring pieces that celebrate the legacy of classic watchmaking while also inviting new generations to partake.
Among the most notable releases is the revamped Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe line, an all-terrain watch that merges sophistication with functionality. Originally conceived in 1956 as the urban counterpart of the Fifty Fathoms, these models now feature gradient dials with sunray finishes in green and blue tones, and high-tech black ceramic cases that ensure durability and water resistance up to 30 bars. Available in flyback chronograph and three-hand date versions, their versatility makes them perfect companions for both deep-sea exploration and everyday life.
On the other hand, the Villeret collection pays tribute to the fir trees of the Vallée de Joux, inspiring its new green dials with sunray effects. Designs such as the minimalist Extraplate, the romantic Quantième Phases de Lune, and the impressive Tourbillon Carrousel embody the balance between elegance and technical mastery. With their iconic double pomme case and the incorporation of materials like silicon, these models confirm Blancpain's artisanal craftsmanship and mechanical excellence, always connected to the nature that surrounds its manufacture and defines its identity.
Blancpain reaffirms its position as an icon of haute horlogerie, delighting the most discerning tastes of collectors, brand connoisseurs, and new buyers, becoming an essential part of the lifestyle. Whether underwater, in the office, or at a formal evening event, it is a timeless piece full of history.
