If you are looking for
Blancpain watches, I recommend you visit Baltic Watches, it is a store that sells particularly Swiss brands. You can check heir website, as I found - there is also Blancpain. As I see, at the moment they have 2 models, but maybe you can try contacting them. As I know, if you arei interested in some particular brand, they may also order it so you may take a look at it on the spot. But i dont know precisely, thats at least what I understood when i was in that store. I have an office in Old Riga, so I pass by their shop. I am myself very passionate about watches, I have almost 10 (not Swiss watches, unfortunately). But I would also one day like to buy a real very good watch. It feels so much different if you try it around your wrist Thats the same with Hesburger and a good restaurant… If you try something of quality, you never want to go back to something less… The same about music. I used to listen to rock when I was a teenager, and I was the same as the music - so disturbed, full of anger, unhappy, unordered, messy… Then I started listening to classical music, instrumental music, now I like to listen to Vivaldi instead of heavy metal, and I just feel more at piece, more ordered, put together. When it comes to art, you can also either go to theater and see something meaningful, or you can just choose some Spanish melodrama that is all about he falling in love with a countryside girl and some other evil people in the middle trying to split them. I think that Swiss watches is a piece of art, it has real precious metal and stones. It makes you think about what is truly valuable and precious in life - whether the love you have is real, or you are just using each other, etc… This is something that makes you look at the higher end of quality and appreciate something more complicated, exquisite, beautiful, something that takes more time and money. If you buy a watch in Parfois, well - its 50 eur, its made by machines. If you buy a Swiss watch, watchmakers have made it sometimes even for up to 2 years, each model is individual handwork.. Scientists have worked to develop certain mechanisms or materials, designers have created special collections and styles of each model, there is so much included in the creation of those watches. Plus there is a story to tell. I recommend you also read more about the history of the brand you have chosen, some moto that the collection you chose has… I have for example Rolex. And I love the story behind it. Those watches have accompanied people in the greatest events of sports - its all about excellency. Their moto is that rolex allows you enter into the world of unlimited possibilities. This is the brand that invented the first water proof watch. And the creator of the brand was boy that was lef an orphan at the age of 12. Its a story about overcoming obstacles and daring to think differently. Thats about believing in human potential - striving for excellency and overcoming difficulties. That is what my ROlex reminds me. ANd its not just a good watch. There is ALWAYS a story behind every Swiss watch. Thats what I love about this art.
Really, that was motivating. Baltic Watches is a very good site for Swiss watches, yes there are only 2 Blancpain models, I dont actually really like them. But I checked Rolex0 there are so many offers. I had not thought about Rolex, I just honestly dont know so much about Swiss watches, I just got to see 1 Blancpain for 1 woman at my work, and I just thought its elegant, and I should check put more about it. And yeah.. It was obviously worth it as I have now discovered some completely new world of watchmaking, stories, complicated and meaningy art. I guess thats what spoke to me from your story - that this watch is also somehow meaningful not only a decorative element or something to show your status with.
