The new watch not only combines the two major complex functions that are popular today, but also has other additional functions to facilitate daily life.

This classic and timeless beautiful shape provides the perfect stage for Patek Philippe to create this women’s high-end jewellery watch.

Blancpain

 In 1735, the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty in China ascended the throne, and he loved to hide and hide. He did not know how many strange treasures he hid in his life. But I’m afraid there is no such thing as a better watch than a watch. In view of the special origin of Qianlong and clocks, more than 270 years later, Blancpain, a famous watch brand from the Jurassic Mountains in Switzerland, launched a watch with the theme of Chinese and Forbidden City culture and donated it to the Palace Museum. The Forbidden City kept this watch in the Clock Museum, and put it together with the watch that Qianlong once loved. This special watch is called ‘Balpe Qiankun Caruso’ and will be the first modern watch to be hidden from the Palace Museum.

 Opportunity coincides. In the year Qianlong ascended the throne, Blancpain was born, linked to its brand. This is undoubtedly the most memorable piece in the history of watches and clocks. Due to the emergence of Blancpain, the Swiss watch industry has thus entered the ‘brand era’ from the ‘artisan era’: it has completed the birth of modern trade standards-the world’s first A registered watch brand. However, the reality is not as good as imagined. The conditions for the founder of Blancpain, Jehan-Jacques Blancpain, are undoubtedly simple in the early days of brand creation. He registered his profession as a watchmaker in a small town and worked in a house built in 1636 that initially served as a mail relay station. Looking back on this journey, it seems like a start to the waves, but it brings far-reaching significance to future generations.

 After the efforts of several generations of members of the family, Blancpain expanded its business to all over Europe in 1815, and in that year set up a small watch factory, which laid the foundation for Blancpain’s enduring prosperity for nearly two centuries. At that time, Blancpain watch manufacturing had become the largest and most prosperous industry in the area. The Blancpain family also introduced an escapement for the watch-a design that almost all Swiss mechanical watches use today, and specifically gives women’s watches a unique design. It is worth mentioning: Since the birth of Blancpain in 1735, no matter how the technology changes, the brand has always adhered to the production method of manual mechanical watches, has not been added to the production of flow, and its production process is full of The nature smells in the mountains.

 Blancpain Ladybird

In less than a year after joining the SMH group, Blancpain pioneered another world-renowned watch: the world’s smallest mechanical watch that can display the moon phase profit and loss, week, month and date, and Launch of a moon phase watch designed for women. Looking at the history of Blancpain in recent decades, you will habitually find that its products seem to be associated with a series of ‘most’, ‘first’ and ‘unique’: In 1990, Blancpain launched the first And the only TOURBILLON tourbillon mechanical watch that can display the date and store eight days of power; in 1993, at the 300th anniversary of Blancpain’s founder’s birthday, the classic 7001 design was launched; in 1994, a 100-hour energy reserve was launched 2001 type automatic winding sports watch; in 1995, the 2100 sports series was selected by the world’s watch industry as the ‘best watch’ from 1995 to 1996; in 1996, the world’s first women’s chronograph with a built-in FLYBACK system was created and became women’s The only supplier of the flyback chronograph; in 1998, another minute repeater was introduced, which was not only compact but also the world’s only minute repeater with waterproof function at the time, and was patented. In 1999, at the World Basel Watch & Jewellery Show, Blancpain’s self-winding tourbillon two-handed multi-menu watch with chronograph section, only 7.75 mm thick and 27.6 mm wide, represented the world’s only unparalleled technological peak … …

 1991 was the most eye-catching year for Blancpain. Because of its pioneering work in mechanical watches-the ‘1735’ watch, it has a two-handed segmented chronograph, moon phase profit and loss, perpetual calendar, three questions and peace. The tourbillon has six functions in one. It brings together all the most complicated technology in a thin and light case. It takes 6 years to design, develop and manufacture the light.
