Blancpain Articles

One of the oldest watchmakers around today, Blancpain was founded in 1735 by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain. Having battled bankruptcy, it came back to life after being bought by Jean-Claude Biver.

Blancpain has just opened two new boutiques in London: a flagship boutique at 11 New Bond Street (pictured) and a franchise in the Fine Watch Room of Harrods department store.
