Buy Blancpain Mens Watches at Exquisite Timepieces
Founded in 1735 in Villeret, Switzerland, Blancpain is the oldest watch brand operating today. Blancpain can boldly claim that they have never made a quartz powered watch, and former brand owner Jean Claude Biver, declared they never will.
A subsidiary of the Swatch Group since 1992, the brand continues to honor its legacy, manufacturing high-end dive watches in its Fifty-Fathoms line, high-complications in the Villeret and Metiers D'art collection, and modern pilot watches within the Air Command collection. Blancpain is one of the few brands today that offers a complete collection of mens watches currently for sale.
Ranging from the most rugged dive watches to the most elegant dress watches and to some of the best haute horology pieces regarding watchmaking and complications, Blancpain offers a wide variety of sizes and styles of mens watches for sale.
As an authorized retailer, Exquisite Timepieces is able to assist you in purchasing your new Blancpain male watch, both online and in person, at their showroom in Naples, Florida. Both avenues have a number of men's Blancpain watches for sale that are ready to be added to your collection.
Men's Blancpain Gold Watches
As one of the highest-end brands in Swatch Group's portfolio, they offer most of their pieces in a precious metal variant. Most gold Blancpain mens watches are made from solid 18k red gold, with some being made in white gold, yellow gold, and Swatch Group's proprietary Sedna Gold (a red gold alloy).
A recent limited edition, Fifty-Fathoms in 9k bronze gold, offers a unique take on both the iconic model line and precious metals. Below are some gold mens watches from Blancpain.

Men's Blancpain Stainless Steel Watches
Blancpain is widely regarded as an enthusiast-oriented brand intended for customers who are looking for high-end finishing and a focus on watchmaking. This mindset has become part of the company's branding and can be seen in the fact that many of their mens watches, including highly complicated timepieces, are available in steel.
Many brands will only offer complex calendars, mono-pusher chronographs, and alarm watches in precious metals. Blancpain makes many of these models in both steel and precious metals as a way to show that the focus is on the watchmaking and not the material itself. The same is true for their sports watches, allowing the customer to choose the material best suited for their taste and lifestyle.

Men's Blancpain Dive Watches
The Blancpain Fifty-Fathoms was the first dive watch ever to come onto the public market in 1953, beating the other famous brands by one year. While high watchmaking is Blancpain's primary focus, they continue to celebrate the importance of the Fifty Fathoms. Within the Fifty Fathoms collection is a number of limited editions, the Bathyscaphe collection, and complicated models made in contemporary materials. As much as Blancpain honors tradition, the Fifty Fathoms collection seems to be their platform for innovation and modernity.

Blancpain Men's Collections
Blancpain is a diverse brand, with a number of collections and a great deal of variety within those collections, offering a great deal of choice of Blancpain mens wrist watches. Below is a brief overview of the collections and some of the available Blancpain watches for men.
Mens Blancpain Fifty Fathoms
The Fifty Fathoms line is based on their iconic diver that was originally released in 1953. Currently within the Fifty Fathoms collection, there are the Fifty Fathoms models, and the Bathyscaphe models. The Fifty Fathoms models are the more modern-looking dive watches, with sapphire bezels and lumed inserts. The Bathyscaphe models are more directly inspired by Blancpain dive watches from the 50's and 60's, with slimmer bezels and smaller dial indices. Both fully capable dive watches, so choice boils down to a matter of preference for most consumers.

Mens Blancpain Air Command
The design of the Blancpain Air Command collection is based on a historic, and very limited model produced for the American Air-Force in the 1950's. With its historically informed design, rotating bezel, and two-register layout for the 12-hour chronograph, function definitely takes precedence with this watch. Made in both titanium and 18k red gold, along with being available in 36.2mm and 42.5mm sizes, there is a mens Blancpain Air Command watch to suit almost any taste in regards to size and material.
