What Watch Winder Does Blancpain Recommend?

Born in 1735, Blancpain is the oldest watch brand in Swiss history and the first registered watch brand in the world. It is one of the finest complicated mechanical watches and one of the very few brands in the world that can design, develop, manufacture, assemble and sell them all in-house.

About Blancpain

Blancpain, in keeping with its DNA of "innovation is tradition", insists on making only mechanical watches. Since its creation in 1735, each of Blancpain's top-quality mechanical watches has been entirely handmade, checked by the watchmaker himself, numbered and signed, a tradition that has continued since its inception. Blancpain is known as "the maker of classic timepieces", and has always embraced its uncompromising faith in time and watchmaking, forging exceptional watchmaking capabilities, maintaining a low-profile, honest and pragmatic approach to the brand, and promoting a lifestyle of refinement and elegance based on the cornerstone of its watchmaking excellence, which concentrates emotion, art and culture into a vital and vital part of human life. The pursuit of beauty.

Although there is no official ranking in the watch industry, Blancpain has always been ranked among the world's "top ten watches" in many rankings. As such, Blancpain is undoubtedly the most innovative and successful brand in the contemporary top watch segment. For nearly three centuries, Blancpain has never produced a quartz watch. At the same time, the brand uses 100% in-house mechanical movements in all its watches and provides a powerful "engine" to support other high-end watch brands.

One of Blancpain's most important achievements was the Fifty Fathoms, created in 1952 and launched in mass production in early 1953. This watch was created at the request of the French Navy's Nageurs de Combat elite diving unit, which needed a reliable watch that could be worn during deep-sea missions, and Captain Robert Bob Maloubier and Lieutenant Claude Riffaud, co-founder of the diving unit, entrusted the project to Blancpain, which was up to the challenge. The Fifty Fathoms, worn by such notable figures as officer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, became the benchmark for diving watches. This collection is also the one I will focus on next.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe

In the first half of this year, Blancpain launched its Aurora Green watch. People's acceptance of dial color to a certain extent is also a reflection of the changes in popular culture, green as a big hit in the watch industry, in recent years we can always see its figure. Take the new products released this year, the Rolex Logbook "Olive Green", the Vanguard 41mm Flywatch and the Glashütte Original Off-Center all carry green dials. The "Aurora Green" Deep Diver is a good blend of this trendy color scheme, catering to the aesthetic trend is also one of the reasons for its popularity.

The "Aurora Green" dial blossoms like the green light of the Aurora Borealis and changes according to the angle of the light, presenting a gradient of metallic shades, a gorgeous visual effect. The dial is made in two stages of polishing, which is particularly complex. The first stage is to flatten the surface; the second stage is to give it a softer, smoother appearance. The next stage is a series of processes to create the sunburst pattern, and several layers of nano-materials are applied to the dial during the coloring process to give it the "Aurora Green" effect.

The "Aurora Green" is equipped with the Blancpain Cal. 1315 movement, which has a non-calculating hairspring design and a refined overall finish, down to the high-gloss polishing of every screw and chamfered part. Thanks to its 3-barrel design, it has a power reserve of up to 120 hours. The rotor is made of 18-carat gold and finished in a very discreet charcoal black, with great care taken in the materials and workmanship of the movement.

The Suitability of Blancpain Mokarran & Jqueen Watch Winder

Although JQUEEN is a young brand, its dedication to craftsmanship is in line with Blancpain's philosophy. JQUEEN has always emphasized 100% handmade, and its fine craftsmanship and classic shapes are loved by many people.

This green winder is also a winder with a unique color from JQUEEN. The wooden surface is made of piano lacquer with many processes, the beige leather lining is soft and textured, and the edge of the dial is also sealed in green, echoing the shell. The color of this watch winder is a perfect match for the Blancpain Mokarran, which not only protects the Blancpain watch, but also gives it a better presentation.

The mode compatibility of the JQUEEN watch winder is excellent. The winding direction of this watch is clockwise, which is very suitable for using this watch shaker. So, why don't you buy one?
