Blancpain Uhren

History of Blancpain Watches

Founded in 1735 by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain, the initial workshop for this brand was set up in the upper floor of his home at Villeret, which is in present-day Bernese Jura. When he recorded his name in the property register of this municipality, he created the establishment that is now the oldest watchmaking brand in the world. Even in the early years, this watch brand celebrated huge successes. The company was passed from generation to generation, always remaining in the family, and by the mid-part of the 19th century, the House of Blancpain had become the most significant enterprise in all of Villeret. In 1932, family ownership finally ended. Today, Blancpain is owned and managed by the Swatch Group.
