The Lifestyle Point-of-View Since 1924
The brand with a rich heritage of quality, style, and innovation.
As our brand has earned a reputation for excellence in quality, form and function the demand for ‘Blue Point’ products began to rise.
The blue dot became a trademark in 1924 and the Blaupunkt brand is officially born.
1924 – 1940´s
It all started with the blue dot.
A company named “Ideal” was first founded in Berlin when radio was still in its infancy, and the company produced its first headphones.
Every unit was carefully tested by technicians and labeled with a seal for quality—the blue dot. It did not take long before customers simply asked for the “bluepoint” products. The blue dot quickly became known as a symbol of outstanding quality in delivering Headphones, Car Radios, and World Receivers.
