One reason could be very simple: the watch might have been produced some time ago, and the lubricants are dry meanwhile. Debris now block the winding train. This is not a defect, nor a typical Blancpain issue. It might happen with any mechanical watch of any make. In this case, the movement needs to be cleaned and re-lubricated. Of course, this should be done under warranty. I hope this helps. Anyway, congrats on your watch! Best, Magnus
