    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. Blancpain is known for being on the cutting edge of design, and many collectors are willing to pay high prices to own both its vintage and contemporary timepieces as a result. 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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Hublot is so expensive for a few reasons. First, the Swiss luxury watchmaker uses premium materials, some of which are produced by the company itself, adding to costs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    There are a few reasons why Steelcase is so expensive.

The company invests heavily in research and development to continue to make advancements in ergonomic design that make its furniture more durable and comfortable. Steelcase also uses quality materials that cost more to source. Plus, demand for Steelcase tends to be high, contributing to high price points. Explore a selection of Steelcase furniture on 1stDibs.
