    Blancpain is so expensive for a few reasons. One is due to innovation, which the Swiss luxury watchmaker has a long history of, having created the first-ever automatic wristwatch in 1926.

The watchmaker is also known for using exceptionally fine materials and employing time-honored crafting techniques that make the quality of its timepieces exceptional. In addition, Blancpain makes about half as many watches per year as some of its biggest competitors, so supply is often low compared to demand. Find a diverse assortment of Blancpain watches on 1stDibs.
