Patek Philippe vs Blancpain

The comparison of Patek Philippe vs Blancpain compares two highly respected watchmakers. Let us see how they contend with each other.

Today, we will benchmark Blancpain VS Patek Philippe at many different levels to determine which watch is better for you.

brand history
Patek Philippe and Blancpain are ancient brands that have been in business for more than a century.

Blancpain was founded by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain in Villeret, Switzerland in 1735. Their current headquarters are in Le Brassus, Le Chenit, Switzerland. Blancpain is now owned by an international group called Swatch Group, which also owns many other brands of discount watches.

Technically speaking, Blancpain is also the oldest of all Swiss watchmakers still in the industry, and we have published many articles on its premium watches. However, this watchmaker did not operate for a number of legal reasons for continuously placing the Blancpain brand name. (Therefore, Vacheron Constantin is considered to be the oldest Swiss watch brand and has been operating under the same brand name since its establishment.)

In contrast, Patek Philippe (Patek Philippe) is a young brand with a history of about a century, it was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, and is still headquartered in Geneva. Patek Philippe is still an independent company and has been owned by the Stern family since the 1930s.

Who will make a more complicated Blancpain or Patek Philippe watch?

Both Patek Philippe and Blancpain are watchmakers with advanced watchmaking capabilities. These high-complexity watches have multiple mechanical functions that not only display time.

Blancpain has always been known for its engineering and production of very famous high-complexity movements, which is Blancpain 1735.

This mechanical marvel features a perpetual calendar, minute repeater, time-sharing and tourbillon. Needless to say, this is a huge achievement for any watchmaker.

Blancpain is also known for producing one of the most famous diver’s watches-Blancpain Fifty Fat, which was worn by Jacques Cousteau in the movie “Silent World”. The Fifty Fat Series is also the first diving watch with a rotating bezel to help diving professionals time.

Patek Philippe (Patek) is one of the most famous high-end luxury watch brands in existence, and is praised for its extremely complex Henry Graves Supercomplication watch. This pocket watch has 24 different mechanical complications. This ingenious work was auctioned for more than 24 million US dollars. Each complication exceeds $1,000,000. The extremely gorgeous Grandmaster Chime (pictured) is another Supercomplication watch. This particular double-sided watch has 20 different complications. With a thickness of 16.1 mm and a diameter of 47.7 mm, it is undoubtedly a heavyweight watch that is not suitable for people with weak wrists.

Brand reputation
Blancpain and Patek Philippe are both regarded as prestigious brands, but Patek is slightly better than Blancpain. Patek Philippe is one-third of the “Holy Trinity” watchmaking industry. “Holy Trinity” is composed of three very famous brands, including Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet (also known as AP watches), which is the senior echelon of the business.

Patek Philippe, through some very creative and very effective advertising and marketing activities, has made its brand a brand recall with two other Swiss luxury watch manufacturers (Rolex and Omega). One of the world’s most well-known brands in the industry. However, in terms of brand reputation, Rolex and Omega can’t even Patek Philippe. Thinking of this, Blancpain couldn’t do it either.

Quality and craftsmanship
Patek Philippe’s watches are exquisite in craftsmanship, and now offer the “Double P” logo or badge, called the Patek Philippe seal, which is only suitable for watches that meet very strict standards in craftsmanship and structure. Now, their standards are even higher than the prestigious Geneva mark (Poinçon de Genève) or Geneva mark, and their watches have been exposed for 123 years before the creation of the new Patek Philippe mark in 2009.

Blancpain produces excellent watches that are superior to many other Swiss luxury watch manufacturers. However, compared with Patek Philippe watches, there is absolutely no comparison. There are reasons why Patek Philippe is considered the best by most fashion replica watches enthusiasts and luxury watch experts around the world.

In fact, Patek Philippe can even be regarded as the only watchmaker of direct competitors, not even a Swiss watchmaker, but a German watchmaker in the Saxon region of Glashutte, called A. Lange & Sohne. No one else in the industry is even within Patek Philippe’s radar range.

Breitling C50 cockpit limited edition

Breitling has proposed to release the 20th anniversary of the world’s first non-stop hot air balloon tour in the world of electronic quartz timekeeping.

As part of the 2019 Baselworld Watch & Jewellery Show, Breitling celebrates an important day in the history of the brand. On March 21, 1999, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones completed their first uninterrupted global airship journey by landing in the Egyptian desert. Researchers spent 19 days, 21 hours and 55 minutes on such an unusual journey. This record not only recorded the flight time, but also the range of the hot-air balloon flight: 45,755 kilometers. Breitling is a partner and sponsor of risky events, providing flight participants with high-end replica watches from the Breitling Emergency Watch range.

On this important anniversary, the watchmaking brand has released a special model of the Cockpit B50 Orbiter limited edition top-of-the-line chronograph with a bright orange design. The impressive cheap watch receives a large case constructed of black titanium (46 x 16.45 mm) with an electronic quartz device inside. In addition to the universal timer function (which allows you to detect time intervals from 1/100 second to 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds), the mechanism supports many other non-standard functions. In particular, a digital perpetual calendar with a day of the week display, time indication in the second time zone, and an electronic tachometer. It also has a lap timer, two alarms running in standard sound mode or vibration mode, and a countdown timer with independent sound notifications.

This high-end fake watch can determine the time and date of departure and arrival. Displays the time on the analog-digital dial according to the UTC standard. Use the screw-down crown to select the desired function, and use two buttons to control at the same time. To give users maximum comfort, this dynamic model is equipped with a battery level indicator that can run for exactly ten years.

The limited edition of Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited high-end luxury copy watches is issued in 213 pieces, which is the date of the first non-stop balloon flight around the world (21.3). The back of the case is engraved with an image of the airship Breitling orbiter 3, with the inscription “20th Anniversary of the First Flight in the World-ETANCHE 100 M”.
