Talking about the four great beauties in ancient China, people only know that they have the reputation of ‘sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and shame’. As everyone knows, behind the ‘sinking fish, falling geese, closing the moon, and shameful flowers’, the four big beauties are not only outstanding in appearance, they also have some little-known stories.

 Since ancient times, the posterity of the portraits of the four beauties has been endless. People want to portray these four beauties, but they are always a little less elegant. The scenery of Xi Shi Huan Sha, Zhao Jun embraced the Aegean when he was out of the house, and said goodbye to the departure of his native land … The artistic conception that is difficult to present in the painting is even harder to be reflected in the watch.

Back to the original intention of watchmaking, grinding every detail and constantly breaking through the existing. At the time when mechanical watches were experiencing a dramatic change in the quartz crisis, Blancpain did the opposite: spare no effort to revitalize mechanical watchmaking, re-assert traditional complex functions, make the world know the history of handicraft guilds again, and reflect the highest achievements in watchmaking The core value of important watch models.

 Returning to the watch itself, hoping to let more people see the charm of mechanical watches is the pursuit of Blancpain watchmaking. Fifty cents, the classic series, and ‘Moon Phase Beauty’, every innovation of Blancpain has brought us a surprise. This time, Blancpain brought us the ‘Big Four’.
