Situated in the Vallée de Joux, the heart of the finest traditional Swiss watchmaking, the locality of Le Brassus is today the source of Blancpain’s most elaborate and complex designs, in the spirit of the fabled Le Brassus 1735. The 1735 watch is the fruit of a year of loving labor by a single watchmaker. With its 740 individual hand-finished components, the Le Brassus 1735 remains the world's most complicated automatic winding wristwatch ever produced in a series, combining a minute repeater, tourbillion, perpetual calendar, and split-seconds flyback chronograph in one amazing timepiece. The rest of the Le Brassus collection also exhibit Blancpain’s mastery of the traditional complications; the perpetual calendar, the minute repeater, the tourbillon, the equation of time, and the split-seconds chronograph. And, many of these models within the Le Brassus collection combine several of these difficult complications within a single movement, showing Blancpain’s absolute mastery of the most difficult watchmaking techniques.
