The brand name itself is an acronym of their initials: \u003cem\u003eEugène Blum Et Lévy\u003c\/em\u003e. From the outset it was an unusual partnership with Eugène leading the technical side and Alice the design and aesthetics. It was a combination that gave the brand an edge that purely masculine watchmaking houses rarely achieved. The company later became a movement supplier to Cartier, and went on to count André Agassi, Claudia Schiffer, and Boris Becker among its ambassadors before eventually joining the Movado Group.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coppet Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53102697873747,"sku":"487","price":440.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/9460\/9235\/files\/IMG_0211.jpg?v=1779979075","url":"https:\/\/coppetvintage.com\/products\/gj-blitz-ladies-1930s-copy","provider":"Coppet Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
