Blancpain Watches
Imer Blancpain
The longest and most remarkable watchmaker in history. Imer Blancpain was christened on 13 May 1639 in the village of Villeret, beside the River Suze in the Swiss Jura valley of Erguel.
Jehan-Jacques Blancpain (born 1693) great-grandson of Imer, started the family business, making ébauches and parts in 1735, according to the earliest records.
In 1926 Blancpain made a prototype of the first wristwatch to have an automatic winding mechanism., powered by the wearer's movements.
In 1970 the firm was acquired by SSIH (acquired by the Swatch Group) and now produces handmade classic watches which can be traced to an individual maker who works in the original family farmhouse.
