Blancpain Blancpain movement factory

In the Swiss watch industry, the word "Manufacture" is used to describe a factory that can produce clocks completely independently, and to distinguish it from "atelier de terminage." The latter only engaged in the assembly of clocks, adjustment, pointer installation and placement case. Blancpain Blancpain is one of the very few brands in the world that can design, develop, manufacture, assemble, and sell (from A to Z) all of its own. In 2010, the FP Movement Factory (Frédéric Piguet), which is the same as Blancpain, officially changed its name to Blancpain Movement and joined the brand. The Blancpain movement factory in Le Sentier occupies a leading position in the design and production of advanced watch movements, bringing together the brand's R & D team and several workshops in which hundreds of employees develop, manufacture, assemble and test Unique timepiece.

From 2006 to 2014, the Blancpain Blancpain released a total of 32 new movements, including a long pursuit of simplicity, precision and performance, contains the absolute spirit of movement, widely used in the fifty series of self-winding movement Cal .1315, Cal.1150, a self-winding movement known for its ultrathin, magnificent construction and superb compatibility, has for the first time a globally unique vertical disc clutch mechanism that has been hailed as the world's thinnest , The most stable chronograph movement is also included Cal.1185, the preferred movement of many of the best watches, and Cal.242, a self-winding caliber that moves the long power to the single barrel for 12 days.

Despite the "mission" of these movements are different, but the birth of the process is no different: design, production, assembly, testing, production.

For Blancpain Blancpain, innovative technology is the driving force behind the development, so the R & D department is the nerve center for this innovative power. The first step beyond yourself is usually here.



Blancpain movement factory has a large-scale mold design and manufacturing department, can fully customize all the necessary molds, from design to research and development to manufacturing process integrity, unique in the industry. The processing of each mold needs a year and a half, the value of 30,000 -25 million Swiss francs, after several years of accumulation, the factory has more than 100,000 sets of molds to meet the processing and production of all parts needs.

Blancpain movement factory machining parts manufacturing workshop, advanced equipment, including the movement of each step of production. Workshop advanced CNC machine tools, machining centers, according to different needs, can be completed at one time dozens of processing action. Watchmakers are demanding about the accuracy of part dimensions and usually allow errors within a few tenths of a millimeter; at the same time, cleaning is done after each machining step is complete, and a movement needs to be done 20 Multiple cleaning. What happened here is enough to explain the creed of top watchmaking: "Perfection comes from the demanding of every step."

Before assembly, all parts will be handed over to Blancpain finishing experts. They use the magical skill to present art in the micro-world of watches.

After each step of assembly requires rigorous testing. Test items include: lubrication, watch 6-way travel time precision test, simulation test.

Particularly noteworthy is that in Blancpain watchmaking kingdom, "legend" is not written completely "author" (those great movement developers) have the final say, "Blancpain Experiment Center" is Legendary winner. When a new movement is developed, it will be sent to the test center to carry out the most stringent tests. Only through a series of tests will we be able to announce the birth of this new movement. The so-called experimental center is the machine The detection of the core. Here, all parts of all newborn movements are subject to inspection, inspection, testing, aging and measurement to confirm that no unpleasant surprises will not occur after the approval is passed so as to disrupt the operation of the mechanism. All parts and features are carefully analyzed and tested, including the barrel, gears, escapement, winding crown, and other delicate fragile parts. The same testing standards should also apply to functionality, to the tiresome test, and to employ the brutal approach to assess the durability of these features. Tested functional areas include calendar, retrograde, large calendar, power reserve, self-winding system, carrousel, tourbillon. It's not too surprising to see the expensive tourbillons, each priced at up to $ 250,000, grossly violently treated here.
