II

A second time zone

The extra hand goes round once in 24 hours and shows a second time zone, home time while you travel or a colleague's time on another continent. On many models the hour hand can be moved on its own, so changing zones does not stop the watch.

III · The manufacture

Blancpain since 1735

Jehan-Jacques Blancpain was recorded as a watchmaker in Villeret in 1735. The current official history dates Betty Fiechter’s succession to Frédéric-Emile Blancpain to 1932. The Fifty Fathoms of 1953 gave the house a lasting connection with diving. Blancpain joined SSIH in 1961 and became a movement-production centre within the group. Jacques Piguet bought Blancpain in 1982, linking it closely to Frédéric Piguet’s movement manufacture. Jean-Claude Biver joined the leadership in 1983 as the mechanical watch business was rebuilt. In 1992, Blancpain and Frédéric Piguet were sold to SMH, later renamed Swatch Group. Frédéric Piguet was incorporated into Blancpain’s Le Sentier manufacture in 2010. Le Brassus also houses its complicated-watch and artistic-craft workshops.

IV · Ownership

Wearing and caring

  1. 1

    An automatic watch winds itself while worn. Left off the wrist for a couple of days it stops: wind it with the crown, then set the time and the date.

  2. 2

    Water resistance up to 50 m means splashes and rain. Do not swim or shower with it.

  3. 3

    Have the movement serviced every few years by the brand's own service or an authorised watchmaker.
