BLANCPAIN LATEST MOVEMENT PARADE
A Tradition of Innovation reaches new heights
Excellence is a tenacious habit for Blancpain. The Manufacture in Le Brassus has accomplished
the outstanding feat of unveiling six new movements within scarcely three years. Following on
from Calibres 13R0, 1315 and the remarkable Carrousel 225, respectively introduced in 2006,
2007 and 2008, Blancpain is pursuing its fast-paced successive launches of innovative highend
movements. This year, Calibres 13R5 and 66R9 derived from the 13RO, as well as Calibre
5215, are enriching a line of movements combining avant-garde technological perfection with
unfailing respect for horological traditions. An array of refi ned finishes set the crowning touch
to these new calibres stemming from a tireless quest for simplicity, precision and performance.
Blancpain is thereby consolidating its image as a full-fledged Manufacture of Haute Horlogerie
displaying exceptional virtuosity in the field of complications and consistently concerned with
advancing the art of watchmaking, right through to its most intricate and sophisticated details.
