BIANCHET

Beauty and harmony are displaying in contemporaneity

Adiscreet watchmaking creation on its way to becoming one of the emblems of the watchmaking world. Far from traditional classicism and marked of an elegance built on a heritage and its transmission, this brand born in 2017 imposes its very delicately signature.

By Helena Perdoux-Frances

The founders of BIANCHET have chosen the elegant mystery of the famous Golden Number 1.618, a mathematical concept derived from the Fibonacci sequence… the ultimate guardian of coherent and delicate beauty.

The divine proportion

This geometric proportion, guarantor of an orthodoxy in search of modernism, has been immortalised in the BIANCHET watch compositions, which thus contribute their stone to the edifice erected in the name of eternity… a heritage resolutely turned towards the future.

The founders have applied the Golden Ratio to a contemporary design, based on materials and manufacturing techniques in line with current performance. This work of reinterpretation, based on a minimalist approach to watchmaking construction, has given rise to a collection of contemporary and sophisticated watches.

The B1.618 Openwork Tourbillon watch, a watchmaking singularity

Created in a unique exclusive material, “Titanium-DustInfused Carbon”, a composite of carbon fibre and titanium powder, this elegant and sensual watch hides nothing of its inner beauty… A uniqueness born of the founders’ passion for perfect design and purity of line.

The barrel-shaped curves of the case are ideally proportioned and, in this respect, absolutely faithful to the Golden Ratio. The architecture of the movement designed according to the rules of the divine ratio, the materials with their changing and fascinating reflections and unexpected sensations, a sensitive touch and extreme lightness, are all links between cultural and mathematical references.

This elegant watch with its contemporary pre-eminence and three-dimensional movement designed on the same principle of perfect coherence, offers the sensation of an affinity rooted in the Italian aesthetic and the balance of a chronograph of today.

Two founders, one common vision

Rodolfo Festa Bianchet is a successful entrepreneur and CEO of Riflexo, a Turin-based software company that created the first online trading application for smartphones whose analysis algorithms are based on the Golden Number and the Fibonacci sequence. Inspired by his financial background and his Italian origins, Rodolfo has transposed the mathematical proportions of the famous Golden Ratio, the image of eurythmic purity, into the contemporary world of watchmaking. The foundation of his thinking has woven a link between the world of enlightened culture and the universe of mathematical mechanics.

Emmanuelle Festa Bianchet, his wife and professional partner, comes from a family of artists. As a pianist who graduated from the conservatory and as an artist exhibited in art galleries, she has been deeply influenced by the concept of harmony which gives rhythm to her musical and graphic creations. Her works is the reflection of her fascination with the universal beauty that emanates from the Golden Number and the Fibonacci sequence. This commonality between the two founders will not fail to unite them in an activity that combines elegance and temporality.

The BIANCHET brand was born of this common passion for the beauty of a reality linked to the divine number… The alliance of these two visions, carried by their love of harmony, offers the watchmaking world a unique creation, with a lasting and innovative fantasy.
