Lot Essay

Blancpain's "Le Brassus Collection" is named after the heart of finest traditional Swiss watchmaking, the locality of Le Brassus in the Vallée de Joux.

The "8 Jours" watch is the first watch to use Blancpain's new, in-house calibre 13R0. The model represents the fruit of an assiduous quest for simplicity, precision and performance. Decorated with extremely refined finishing details, it embodies a perfect blend of avant-garde technology and respect for tradition.

The "Le Brassus 8 Jours" was made in a limited edition of 260 examples only and was available exclusively in platinum.
