Reinterpreting the Golden Ratio into contemporary watchmaking
Bianchet debuted a sports tourbillon in a modern 43mm x 50mm case upon entering the watchmaking industry and captured the attention of horology fans with the tonneau-shaped case made in modern materials, the all swiss-made, in-house movement and a perfectly balanced aesthetical appeal which is driven by the founder's fascination with the work of the Italian mathematician Fibonacci and for the Golden Ratio (1.618). First the case, followed by the spiral-shaped movement, the Tourbillon B1.618 Openwork is a masterpiece ruled by the golden ratio, in the likes of Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” or Aston-Martin's Rapide S.
The very first model of Bianchet reflects the house’s vision of fine watchmaking and its desire to embody beauty, strength and elegance.
Following a career in Fintech, the Festa Bianchet couple embarked on a new entrepreneurial project, following their passion and desire to create their own watches in 2017.
In 2 years' time, Bianchet developed an impressive prototype, which the brand used as a testbed for its design ethos. This prototype, known as G5000, generated enough positive vibes and springboarded the inaugural launch piece, the B1.618.
Emmanuelle was a respected artist and sculptor while Rodolfo built a successful career in in the Fintech industry. Combining the eyes of an artist and the visions of an entreprenuer, this power duo is set to hit the contemporary independent watchmaking scene with more avant-garde horological works. Indeed, the Bianchet couple had already admitted that their upcoming projects are headed in a quite different direction.
