Question 20

Is Blancpain worth buying?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many watch lovers believe that Blancpain is worth buying. In 1735, Jehan-Jacques Blancpain opened a modest workshop on the second floor of his farmhouse in the Jura village of Villeret in Switzerland. These humble beginnings would form the foundation of what is now the world’s oldest active watchmaker and one of the premier brands within the category of Swiss watchmaking. Today, Blancpain maintains its painstaking attention to detail, producing fewer than 30 watches per day, each crafted by a single watchmaker. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in Blancpain watches is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find Blancpain watches and other watches on 1stDibs.
