If the excellence of a Blancpain watch is determined by its technical aspects and its reliability, it also depends on its degree of finish, a distinctive feature of haute horlogerie. Finishing and decorating techniques draw on a tradition of craftsmanship and ancestral know-how. Our artisans use stones, files, burnishers, buffs and abrasive papers to achieve fine finishes, even on components hidden from view. This type of work, like everything connected with watchmaking, demands dexterity and infinite patience.
