For people who love traveling all around the world, the watches from Blancpain’s Le Brassus collection offer expert design making them good companions. Decorated and assembled by hand, Le Brassus watches feature self-winding perpetual calendars, moon phases, and GMT indicators. One glance is all it takes to find out the time of day anywhere in the world. The lucky owner of a Le Brassus watch carries with him the usual Blancpain expertise and technological achievement in the art of watch making.

Elegantly sporty and looking durable, what the eye can see is a design that combines precision and resourcefulness with expensive materials. The end result comes as no surprise. These watches have universal appeal and they are seldom overlooked. It’s like they have voices of their own, whispering to everyone to have a look. Looks turn to awe when their full outside splendor is revealed.

What’s seen on the outside though is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. What lies inside – the mechanism, the perfect symphony of small parts working together – are the crowning glory of these watches. The architectural wonders that power these watches, the detail and innovations involved in their construction, are the heart and soul of the Le Brassus collection. Blancpain has proven time and again their mastery of the craft. These watches are no exceptions.

This elegant timepiece may be the most complicated wristwatch ever created. In honor of the year the House of Blancpain watch factory was established, it was called Blancpain 1735. It was 6 years in the making, beating daunting odds like apparent dead-ends and stifling doubts. Aside from its elegant look, it also features a complicated design which involved a great deal of impressive talent and creativity. These 2 features makes the 1735 an excellent creation, a work of art indeed.

Imagine how hard it is to integrate several watch making breakthroughs and technology into a single watch. Impossible? Maybe so, at least until the Blancpain 1735 was created. This watch features ultra slim movement, the moon phase calendar, the minute repeater, the Tourbillon, the perpetual calendar, and split seconds chronograph. Each of this components requires near-impossible precision and creativity, and having them all in a single wristwatch is literally outstanding.

Blancpain’s watchmakers say they’ll only be making 30 of these. Only 18 have been constructed to date, with the remaining 12 still under construction. Chances are, the remaining 12 are already preordered, but that’s not confirmed. It is to be expected though with a watch as such as this. A total of 735 individual components make up the Blancpain 1735, some one those were made from 18-karat gold. That’s 735 reasons to want one only if you can afford it.
