At Blancpain, the desire to embody culturally and technically the watchmaking art expressed in various ways: in addition to development of former movements, watchmakers Blancpain manufacture their own tools and perpetuate a tradition inherited from the precursor of a Swiss industries most popular. The Manufacture Blancpain produces thousands of different parts which have a thinner thickness of 0.05 mm, that of a human hair. That is why the movements are deposited between two manufacturing operations, safe from any speck of dust under a bell jar. While a butterfly flapping its wings would be enough to move these tiny pieces, assembling them fully manual reflects the level of control achieved by the watchmakers of the impossible. In 1983, Jean-Claude Biver and Jacques Piguet joined forces to revive the Blancpain brand. Scrutiny of all available records testified that there had never existed signed Blancpain quartz watch. And there will never.
