The Blancpain Leman watch collection features an impressive variety of models and complications. Blancpain manufactures seventeen different versions of the Leman. The automatic version with its traditional round case, Roman numeral markers, and date window at six o’clock is truly a classic. This is a men’s dress watch that will never go out of style. The chrono version of this watch gives it a sportier look without crowding the dial to make it too busy. The Blancpain Leman Chronograph is available in steel with a steel bracelet, or steel with a leather crocodile strap. The Flyback Chrono Leman is sportier than the Leman Chrono and has a more modern look. The bezel on this watch is smooth and the pushers and crown are more visible as a result. The Leman Flyback has the option of a rubber bracelet if you are looking for a less formal look than the Leman Chrono. Blancpain also offers a steel bracelet and leather strap version. The black military dial gives this timepiece a more technical look and feel. Blancpain also makes several complicated versions of the Leman. If you are looking for an entry level complication try the Leman GMT with a second time zone and a day/night indicator. The Blancpain Lemans Moon Phase is the next level up in terms of complications offering a moon phase and calendar in addition to the day and date. The Leman Perpetual calendar is also a very elegant watch.

Blancpain history dates back to 1735 when Jehan-Jacques Blancpain launched the company in his farmhouse. The business grew gradually but constantly. After the First World War, Frederick, on of the members of the large family, entered to the family business and introduced the wristwatch to the product line. In 1932, the long run of the family involvement ended when the last of seven generations died. It wasn’t until later, in 1983, that Jean-Claude Biber (Omega execute) and Hacques Piguet joined the Blancpain brand that the company revived. The re-launch proved a success and the company’s reputation for its commitment to producing fine timepieces. Blancpain watches are elegant and tasteful wristwatches to be worn.
