The Swiss brand renowned for its ultra-modern tourbillon watches.
Bianchet is a Swiss luxury watchmaking brand that fuses age-old design principles with ultra-modern style and traditional Haute Horlogerie techniques, to create exceptional tourbillon timepieces. The sleek tonneau shape, the exclusive design of the in-house-developed calibre, the Italian aesthetic, the choice of high-tech materials, titanium and rubber, the dynamic use of materials, shapes, textures and colours – everything about Bianchet watches and the Bianchet spirit expresses passion, beauty and modernity.
On February 2024 Bianchet has appointed the rising tennis star Alexander Bublik as its newest brand ambassador. Bublik embodies the spirit of excellence and passion of Bianchet’s values. Bublik was wearing Bianchet timepieces on the court during the tournaments of the Australian Open and the Open Sud de France, playing with both the Bianchet Flying Tourbillon (particularly sensitive to shocks and vibrations, which makes the development of such a movement capable of withstanding high-intensity impacts a significant engineering challenge) Grande Date and the Bianchet Tourbillon Openwork B1.618, which have been designed using the iconic Golden Ratio 1.618.
Both watches have proven to withstand the impact of Bublik’s aggressive playing style, thanks to their ability to resist shocks of up to 5000G, engineering challenge demonstrated also by the other professional player and ambassador Grigor Dimitrov, that wore these timepieces while competing on the world’s courts under the most demanding conditions.
Then, on March 2024 Bianchet introduced the Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT, results from the desire to create a harmonious, elegant, and timeless watch while rising to the technical challenge of combining high performance and Haute Horlogerie expertise. Specially designed for travelers, the Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT allows simultaneous reading of two time zones: local time and reference time. It distinguishes by its lightness, ergonomics, and high resistance to shocks and water resistance (5000Gs and 10 ATM), offering the opportunity to practice sports and nautical activities without renouncing refinement. A 24- hour GMT dial, adorned with a captivating rotating globe synchronized with the hour hand, symbolizes the perpetual rotation of the earth.
Thanks to an intuitive function selector indicating the position of the crown, winding, setting the local time, and the reference time, is simplified. With a power reserve of 90 hours, this watch guarantees flawless reliability. The 43 mm barrel-shaped case is hand-finished and waterproof to a depth of 100 meters. Available in two versions of materials, including Titanium-Dust-High-Density Carbon and titanium, it’s paired with a vulcanized natural rubber strap with a titanium folding clasp and available in 6 color options with two straps included.
And finally, on the eve of its home race in Monaco, Maserati MSG Racing announced its partnership with Bianchet, more than just a merging of brands but a shared vision of elegance, style, and natural performance. Drawing inspiration from the team’s success in Formula E and the Maserati brand’s legacy in 1950s motorsport, Bianchet and Maserati MSG Racing unveiled two limited editions of 21 watches bearing the iconic Trident emblem and featuring the logo and signature colours of MSG Racing.
The first limited edition watch, the award-winning Flying Tourbillon B 1.618 Grande Date Carbon, is crafted in Bianchet’s exclusive high-density carbon composite infused with titanium powder, the Titanium-Dust-High-Density Carbon, while the second limited edition, the Flying Tourbillon B 1.618 Grande Date Hybrid version, features a combination of titanium and carbon. Both watch cases bear sporty rubber lines, refined colour accents and smooth lines. Conceived for active wearing, they can resist shocks of up to 5000 G and water pressure of 10 ATM (100-meter depth).
