DEAR FELLOW WATCH CONNOISSEURS:<br />
Welcome to Issue No. 5<br />
| 01<br />
In each of our preceding issues of Lettres du Brassus the<br />
subject of our feature article has related to contemporary<br />
Blancpain. In this Issue we break from that pattern to look<br />
back at our history. We are fortunate that Jean-Jacques<br />
Fiechter, the Blancpain CEO from 1950-1980 was able to<br />
meet with me to share his rich knowledge of our history.<br />
After spending many hours with him, enthralled by details<br />
of our patrimony gleaned both from his personal experience and from his careful historical<br />
research, it became clear that we must share what we learned with our Blancpain connoisseurs.<br />
Thus, we are delighted to present the History of Blancpain as our lead article in this Issue<br />
along with many other interesting and entertaining articles.<br />
I hope you enjoy Issue 5.<br />
Marc A. Hayek<br />
President and CEO Blancpain
