The price of sail belt is 6.5438+0.57 million yuan, and the price of steel belt is 6.5438+0.72 million yuan.

There is a saying among fans called "Pearl of Heaven and Earth Conscience", which means that Blancpain watches are the conscience of the industry and are well worth buying.

Everyone knows that Blancpain is a top watchmaking brand, but why did it get such a high evaluation?

In polishing the most easily observed movement, whether it is a large and complicated menu or a simple menu, whether it is the classic series of Villeret or the diving 50? Series, all Blancpain movements are polished to the same top standard. "Even entry-level models insist on five-level polishing and never produce second-class products" is called "conscience of heaven and earth".

The professional watch media once took apart a Blancpain watch movement and spread out all the gear splints and other parts. It is found that the grinding, polishing and chamfering are the same whether it is the original exposed part or the part covered by splint.

Blancpain is extremely strict about details. Every part, every pointer scale, has achieved the "five-level grinding process." What is the concept of the five-level grinding standard required by Blancpain? That is to say, the edge of the part needs to be polished and chamfered, and the polishing of a single part takes 2 to 4 hours. The standard of visible and invisible parts after assembly is the same.

Some people say Blancpain is stupid? You can't see inside the splint. Just smooth and cover the gear train to ensure functionality. Why did you spend so long grinding fish scales?

It is with this "stupid" energy that Blancpain promises to make the best mechanical watch.

In fact, it is not only the polishing of the movement, but also Blancpain's persistence in complex functions and extraordinary craftsmanship. Carrousel, for example, is a traditional function that Blancpain revives and innovates constantly, and has become one of Blancpain's characteristics; There is also Blancpain's unique decorative dial such as Damascus inlaid with gold and copper, which is also the exquisite and extreme technology that Blancpain has been working on in recent years.

For another example, whether it is a precious metal case watch or a fine steel case watch, Blancpain insists on using precious metal automatic pendulum and precious metal Roman numerals to set the time scale.

Blancpain is also a technical fanatic, and the research and development of new movements has been in the forefront of the industry in the past decade. These efforts are not only to show off their skills, but also to make unremitting efforts from the perspective of facilitating the daily wear of mechanical watches.

For example, most of Blancpain's watches are powered on for a long time, which saves the trouble of frequent winding when users wear them daily. At the same time, in recent years, Blancpain has upgraded the anti-magnetic silicon hairspring to protect the watch from the influence of magnetic field when it is worn daily. It is precisely because of these stubborn "persistence" that Blancpain won the trust and recognition of fans.

Blancpain is a top brand, so it is called "conscience of heaven and earth" by fans.

We can simply understand this problem from two angles.

First, the classicality of Blancpain brand.

Blancpain watch can be said to be a representative top luxury brand, and Blancpain, born in 1735, is the oldest watch brand in Switzerland and even the first registered watch brand in the world. On history and legend, I believe many brands can't compare.

Second, fifty? The classicality of diving watches.

Blancpain's diving watch, which fifty? It is also the earliest diving watch in the world, and it can be called the originator of diving watches. The birth of this watch is actually closely related to the person in charge of Blancpain. As early as 1952, Jean-Jacques Fiechter, the head of Blancpain, made a special watch for himself according to his own experience and needs in diving. This watch was originally called "Fifty?" To 1953, fifty? Watches are officially on the market.

Moreover, in terms of watch styles, Blancpain is fifty? The style is tough and unique and has always been loved by many fans.

Blancpain watches naturally belong to the "top class", which is different from the ancient behemoths such as Longines Omega. In the past, for the sake of group layout, it occupied mid-range and high-end watches. Blancpain has not been downgraded after "rebirth" and still continues to be at the top of the list. From this perspective, bloodline is justified. At the same time, it is exactly what Blancpain has been doing to keep Blancpain in the top watch position. Anyway, two First, the movement, Blancpain constantly develops its own movement. After 20 10 acquired FP movement factory, it really increased its strength. The media at home and abroad have combed it before, and I have answered it, so I won't go into details, because I have to turn over a lot of information, and my memory is not very reliable. It's easy for everyone to find it by themselves. The second is the process, such as polishing, such as the production process of the face plate that I will focus on next. As many people say, can Rolex be a tourbillon? Why not? It is because of brand positioning. Blancpain's positioning for himself is undoubtedly the same as PP and VC. So Blancpain left all kinds of craftsmen in his own factory. These people are very expensive, so people have the idea to make such top-notch things. What exactly are there? I'll talk about it in detail according to the new products in the last year or two (which is also combined with a recent post in our "Big Man Weekly". If you are interested, you can go to Big ShotWeekly and search the official account of WeChat ~): There is a real story. The clerk of a watch shop recommended a watch decorated with hollows and carvings to the customer, but the customer didn't seem interested, so the clerk handed the customer a magnifying glass, ACE! Card swiping and packing ... more important than the salesman's wit is undoubtedly the invincible exquisite craftsmanship of the watch. How can craftsmen see the technical mystery of watch decoration only with the naked eye under a high magnification magnifying glass? Therefore, it is common for us to attach a professional magnifying glass to the case of high-end watches, which is also standard for many experienced watch players, so that we can see the exquisite details on the watch that are difficult to be detected by the naked eye, and vice versa, it can also make imitators show their true colors. Since18th century, seven kinds of watchmaking techniques have appeared in Swiss watchmaking industry, corresponding to seven different watchmaking techniques. As a "conscience of heaven and earth" brand in the eyes of many car fans, Blancpain not only mastered these seven technologies, but also developed its own unique technology. This time, I will borrow a magnifying glass to see what subtle details are hidden in Blancpain's craft. Métiers d'Art, Gneish, the elephant god, first of all, Gneish, the elephant god of Villeret series red copper craft watches, won the Best Craft Watch Award in the Geneva Advanced Watch Award in 20 15. Shakud originally refers to a copper alloy, which will appear from green to black after being treated with a special liquid. The higher the proportion of the solution, the stronger the color. After years of research and development, Blancpain has become the first and only brand to display this technology on watches. The dial treated by this unique technology has a heavy texture and profound aesthetic feeling. On top of it, the theme and decoration of the picture are made by using the gold carving and Damascus gold inlay technology (Damascus gold inlay is also Blancpain's unique technology), and this Ganesh watch is presented. Ganes, the elephant god, as the main character on the dial, shows Blancpain's proud golden carving technology. He looks simple and lovely, and every detail of his body and headdress is presented, especially the trousers he wears, which also show the texture of his cloth with the texture of fine sand, which is in sharp contrast with the smooth and full lotus petals. There are very fine textures on his body and face to show the texture of his skin. One of the simple ways to distinguish the level of a sculpture is to see if it can show different textures with the same material. On the outermost circle of the dial, there are three gold rings inlaid with Damascus gold. Craftsmen need to carve grooves on the copper floor first, then insert soft and malleable metals such as gold into it and tap gently to fill the whole groove. We see that these irregular dots are hand-carved marks, which can be called the unique DNA sequence of watches, making each Ganesh watch of Elephant Head a unique work. A netizen once asked me, "What's so special about copper? Isn't it just to change the color of metal? PVD can't make any color! " The historical value of copper is not mentioned for the time being. The biggest difference between PVD and PVD is that its color is more layered, while PVD's color is very uniform. Secondly, red copper changes the color of the metal itself, rather than adding coating or paint, so you can see the smallest details whether it is carving or texture. Let's look at another one that impressed me the most: Métiers d'Art five-needle pine with the sky, mountains and water as the background. You can clearly see how Blancpain's craftsmen use red copper to express the different textures and colors of each part. Meanwhile, gold, platinum, platinum and red gold with different tones from 1N to 5N are used for the pine and cypress in the figure. The so-called "n" means that the purity of copper in red gold is usually high, and the color of red gold is red, otherwise it is shallow. Of course, this work is also a combination of red copper, gold carving and Damascus gold inlay technology, just like using metal as pigment and carving knife as brush to present such a colorful painting. When I first got to know the brand Blancpain, its gold carving and enamel technology were enough to stand out from the crowd. Nowadays, more and more brands are making enamels and gold carvings, while Blancpain has explored more unique techniques, such as the aforementioned red copper, Damascus gold inlay and charcoal reserve ...... and has integrated a number of unique techniques to constantly challenge the limits of watch art, while adding more details to watches worthy of slow tasting and appreciation. Another example is the "Simei" series of watches launched by Blancpain in recent years. The four watches used a variety of technical combinations, including gold carving, filling enamel, micro-painting enamel, joinery inlay, red copper, reserve charcoal and Damascus gold inlay.

Blancpain-the oldest watchmaking brand in the world. Blancpain started manufacturing mechanical watches from 1735, and set an excellent standard. This Swiss manufacturer is famous for the amazing progress of watchmaking industry, and it can be said that it is an innovative brand that knows how to be different.

As for Blancpain, it has never produced a timely watch before. Similarly, it claims that it will never produce watches with digital displays.

Blancpain brand was founded by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain at the beginning of18th century, and he established his first studio in Villeret, Switzerland. This is the beginning of the story of the oldest watchmaking brand in the world. 18 15, the great-grandson of Jahan-Jacques introduced modern production methods and transformed the traditional handicraft workshop into a factory capable of mass production. By replacing the crown wheel mechanism with a cylindrical escapement mechanism, he brought a breakthrough innovation to the watchmaking industry. /kloc-In the middle of the 9th century, the Blancpain family became the most important enterprise in Villair.

The first Blancpain automatic watch was made in 1926. Four years later, the manufacturer adjusted the system to make it suitable for small-sized watches, and introduced the rectangular Rolls Royce, which became the world's first automatic watch for women. 1932, due to the death of Frédéric-Emile, the management mode of the family business ended, because his only daughter Berthe-Nellie did not want to engage in watchmaking.

In the past 80 years, the company has been producing some of the most outstanding timepieces. For example, "Blancpain 1735" is a truly complicated function and one of the most complicated mechanical watches ever. It brings together the complexity of a large number of watchmaking techniques: tourbillon, Three Questions, perpetual calendar, monthly calendar and flyback chronograph. It will take a whole year to assemble this movement alone.

Since its establishment, Blancpain has been committed to the research and development of mechanical watches, while retaining the traditional skills of its founders. This leads to low yield of high-quality parts; Blancpain produces less than 10000 watches every year. Blancpain constantly improves watches and is loyal to a century-old history. Exquisite watchmaking technology gives you complete freedom to build the highest performance movement. This has created the most complex core created by manufacturers' aesthetic standards. Each watch is assembled by a watchmaker by hand. Blancpain is one of the few watch brands, and manufacturers still insist on assembling each movement by hand from beginning to end. Since 2002, Marc Alexander Hayek has become the chairman and CEO of Blancpain, and he has proposed new incentives for Blancpain Watch Factory. In the past ten years, the number of world initiatives and patents has been increasing, and what is impressive is the display of new movements.

Huge investment has effectively strengthened the forward strength of R&D department. One of the latest achievements happened in 2008, when Blancpain revived the Karrusel movement, which had been forgotten for more than a century. Blancpain is famous for Villeret, Le Brassus, Leman, professional and sports, and women's series, novelty and fifty fathoms. The company is headquartered in Bill, Switzerland, and its brand is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swatch Group.

Let's just say, Blancpain's nickname: conscience of heaven and earth.

The complicated models of Blancpain watches are ultra-luxury watches, and the general models are first-class watches. If you like the model, the local tyrant will accept it and the salary will be free. But personally, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin are more awesome.

I am Zou Sanshan, a senior watch lover, playing watches from the media. I am committed to providing you with an attitude, depth and temperature watch service. For more watch knowledge, please search the e-book "Zou Sanshan's Tips for Playing Watches". Blancpain watches are called the conscience of heaven and earth, and it is rare in the industry to insist on the manual production of manual mechanical watches. Every mechanical watch of Blancpain is personally inspected by the watchmaker, and is engraved with the number and signature. Blancpain diving watch is the originator of diving watch industry, and its unique super-arched sapphire rotating bezel has no brand to surpass so far, and it has always been a classic in watchmaking industry. If you just swim and dive shallow, ordinary Rolex water ghosts will be enough. Want to play professional diving, Blancpain is the most professional diving watch.

Except Blancpain 50? I really can't think of any other home that can match it. Although Blancpain is the world's top watch, it is fifty? What is revealed is a low-key luxury temperament. Professionally, fifty? However, in the "military" background, all kinds of major marine events in modern times are inseparable from 50? This number. What about fifty? There are many styles with overlapping functions in this series, such as tourbillon diving watch, Flyback Timing diving watch and so on. Wu Xiubo, a famous domestic program host, and Cecilia Han, an actor, are both fifty years old? A loyal fan. What about fifty? Many watches are transparent with backs, which is definitely a visual enjoyment for real watch fans.
