Switzerland has always been renowned for the skill and quality of its watchmakers. And among Swiss watches one name stands out: Blancpain, who for more than 250 years, through thirteen generations of master craftsmen, have set the standard by which the art of traditional watchmaking is measured. From their beginnings in 1735, Blancpain achieved pre-eminence by shunning compromise, unreservedly committing themselves to excellence, and embracing individuality. As Marc A Hayek, Blancpain’s CEO, puts it: " Blancpain has always been rather revolutionary... a little bit crazy, a bit of an adventurer. We have always tried to be different, to become more innovative, to try things that have not been tried or been achieved in the past."
 
Discover the pinnacle of traditional Swiss watchmaking for yourself with a fantastic short break at the Hôtel d’Angleterre, Red Carnation’s magnificent five star hotel on the romantic shore of Lake Geneva.
