DEAR FELLOW WATCH CONNOISSEURS<br />
Welcome to Issue No. 1 of Letters From Le Brassus!<br />
We at <strong>Blancpain</strong> are pleased to introduce you to our new magazine. It is our hope that<br />
Letters From Le Brassus will let you experience the<br />
spirit of <strong>Blancpain</strong> by not only deepening your under-<br />
standing of the collection and <strong>Blancpain</strong>’s haute<br />
horlogerie innovations, but as well by introducing you<br />
to some of the personalities of <strong>Blancpain</strong>, bringing<br />
you the latest news from the manufacture and, finally,<br />
sharing with you experiences from our art de vivre.<br />
It is fitting that in our first issue of Letters From Le Brassus we write about the biggest<br />
event of this past year, the re-opening of our workshop in Le Brassus following more<br />
than a year of renovation. In the article If Walls Could Speak we are proud to give you<br />
a short tour of our completely refurbished workshop, known affectionately inside<br />
<strong>Blancpain</strong> as the “farmhouse”. Not only have we completely remodeled the farmhouse,<br />
we just completed moving our entire team of watchmakers to Le Brassus so that 100%<br />
of our production is now located there.<br />
We hope you enjoy this first issue, and encourage you to fill out the enclosed card so<br />
that you can be on the list to receive future copies.<br />
