Why Blancpain ranks No. 62
Blancpain traces its roots to 1735 and makes every watch in the Vallée de Joux, which gives it full Swiss value. It is the only Swatch Group brand in the ranking with a validated climate target, a net-zero target of its own, and it is well known online for its age and for the Fifty Fathoms. Its revenue is a Morgan Stanley and LuxeConsult estimate.
