We Want To Be A Part Of Your Watch Journey
This Blancpain Villeret Jubilee was produced to commemorate the brand’s 258th anniversary, marking a significant milestone for one of Switzerland’s oldest continuously operating watchmakers. Founded in 1735, Blancpain spent much of the early 1990s reestablishing itself as a high-horology manufacture focused on classical design, traditional finishing, and mechanical integrity. The Jubilee series reflects that philosophy clearly.
The reference 7001 is rooted in Blancpain’s Villeret collection, which draws directly from pocket watch proportions and traditional dress watch design. The stepped case, slim bezel, and domed crystal echo 19th-century watchmaking cues, while the Roman numeral dial and small seconds layout reinforce a sense of balance and restraint. The commemorative “1735–1993” marking within the subsidiary seconds further distinguishes this as a true anniversary piece rather than a standard production model.
Limited to 300 examples, the Jubilee was never intended as a mainstream offering. Instead, it was aimed at collectors who appreciated Blancpain’s revival period and its emphasis on classical horology during a time when many brands were moving toward sportier or more commercial designs. This reference stands as a quiet but important chapter in Blancpain’s modern history.
This is a watch that feels calm and deliberate on the wrist. The proportions are traditional, the dial layout is symmetrical and easy to read, and the gold case adds warmth without excess. It wears exactly as a Villeret should and suits someone who values understatement and history over flash.
Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. This watch is offered in honest condition.
