Complications

Unprecedented in the history of watchmaking, the 1735 ranks as the culminating achievement of centuries of tradition, a milestone in the history of a demanding art.

Blancpain's expert watchmakers devised a daunting new challenge: merging the ultra-slim movement, the moon phase calendar, the perpetual calendar, the split-seconds chronograph, the Tourbillon and the minute repeater into a single construction.

Despite countless doubts and dead ends, talent and perseverance ultimately got them there. After six years, against all odds, fulfilment was finally at hand. In homage to the year of foundation of the House of Blancpain, they called the new watch 1735.
A truly inspired achievement, comprising no less than 745 components, the Blancpain 1735's horological wizardry provides a rare and altogether convincing demonstration that, at least for the best watchmakers, impossibility is only relative.

FOCUSING ON THE MOVEMENT

Blancpain's vocation is first and foremost the art of watchmaking, expressed in the brand's complications.
While Blancpain's watchmakers have continued to cultivate the time-honoured methods of watchmaking, they have also acquired a new vision of time and achieved a perfect balance between elegance and function.
