About Blancpain
ehan-Jacques Blancpain, the founder of the eponymous watch brand, was for sure an eclectic and busy man having worked as a breeder of horses and cattle, a school teacher, a watchmaker and, later in his life, as the mayor of Villeret, a municipality in the Jura administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. Born in 1693 from a family of farmers, he officially started his watch business in 1735, transforming the upper floor of his farmhouse in a workshops. Horses and cattle were the guests of the ground floor. Although 1735 is considered Blancpain’s foundation year, it is almost certain that the watchmaking activity started even earlier.

In fact, the reference to the 1735 year is based on a record of that year in an official property registry of the Villeret municipality where Jehan-Jacques Blanc is indicated as “horloger”. It is reasonable to suppose that, before he could identify himself as a watchmaker, he must have been practicing the craft for some period before.Nonetheless, setting the founding year in 1735 is still enough to establish Blancpain as the oldest watch company in the world having operated in continuity – in one form or another – from the official recording of Jehan-Jacques Blancpain as a watchmaker to the present day.
