In this episode of the Barrington Watch Winders podcast, we journey through nearly three centuries of watchmaking history to explore the story of Blancpain — the world’s oldest surviving watch brand. From a modest workshop in Villeret to icons like the Fifty Fathoms, Blancpain has continually redefined craftsmanship, tradition, and innovation. Discover how a brand that once faced extinction chose to champion mechanical excellence over mass production, reviving the true art of horology. We’ll uncover their landmark achievements, from early automatic movements to record-breaking complications. Join us as we celebrate a maison where every second is a tribute to timeless dedication.
