August 7, 2005 Blancpain, the world’s oldest watch Manufacture, presents an “Anniversary” GMT Alarm wristwatch as a worthy celebration of the 270 years since the company founding. This Haute Horlogerie creation brilliantly combines time-honoured horological expertise with the most contemporary expectations. It is the expression of a tradition spanning several centuries placed in the service of cutting-edge demands. For this “Anniversary” model from the Léman collection, Blancpain offers two complications that are useful for 21st century travellers: a second time-zone indication and a mechanical alarm function.
