This collection includes a variety of different types of wrist watches. While it has watches with complications, such as a triple calendar and moon phase, it also includes wrist watches with more elegant and simple designs.

In addition to their Villeret collection, Blancpain’s rise to prominence is heavily thanks to their Blancpain 1735 model, which is one of the most complicated mechanical watches that has ever been manufactured. However, this model is incredibly limited edition, with only thirty pieces. It has an incredibly low production of only one piece per year.
