Blancpain Villeret: A Timepiece for Eternity

Eternal and highly technical

Blancpain’s native village lends its name to the Brand's most classic collection. Rooted in tradition yet looking firmly to the future, Villeret models personify the roots of the manufacture and are distinguished by their restrained, pure lines endowing them with timeless elegance. With its iconic double-stepped case, the Villeret collection incorporates the results of Blancpain's recent research into its movements, such as Blancpain’s patented under-lug correctors which is also found on this Quantième Complet timepiece.

Moon phases: The face of Blancpain

Reintroduced by Blancpain in 1983 in the wake of the quartz crisis, this complication that is now a signature of the Manufacture in Le Brassus enabled the Maison to demonstrate that a mechanical timepiece testified to extraordinary expertise and that quartz could never replace a complex mechanical watchmaking creation. It thus came to symbolise the revival of mechanical watchmaking. Blancpain’s immediately recognisable moon phase graces this Villeret Quantième Complet, which features Blancpain's patented under-lug correctors that can be operated simply at the press of a finger.

The Master of Calendars

Harmoniously associating a complete calendar with a moon-phase display, the Villeret Quantième Complet is a mechanical marvel. This 40 mm 18 ct red gold timepiece indicating the date, day of the week and month through a date ring and two dedicated apertures is carefully proportioned to ensure optimum visual balance and reading comfort. The contrast between the dial in a subtle shade of blue and the red gold hands and hour-markers makes the information even easier to read, while adding unique warmth. To protect the complex calendar mechanism, Calibre 6654 is secured so as to enable the wearer to adjust the calendar indications whenever they wish. Available at Blancpain boutiques and select Rivoli concept stores.
