Blancpain Villeret Date Moonphase Ladies' Watch Watch Releases

Blancpain continues to be a strong provider of unique and interesting movements in what seems like a sea of mechanical genericism, even in the luxury watch industry. Look carefully and you’ll see in Blancpain ganesh watch Replica watches genuinely innovative attempts which are producing new assortments of present ideas, in addition to some novel ones. Today, I’d like to appear at the Blancpain Villeret Quantieme Annuel GMT watch which we first covered here. It comes from 18k white gold, 18k rose gold, in addition to in steel – all with different dial designs. It is updated for 2016 according to a motion which launched in 2011. In its heart, this watch is all about supplying a special design for two complication sets that you don’t frequently find together. That is a subsidiary GMT hand to signify a second time zone, in addition to an annual calendar complication. The latter is quite elegantly laid out using the calendar data being indicated via three different windows on the dial. Underneath is a series of three discs which overlap. What’s intriguing is that regardless of the quantity of information about the dial (time, next 24-hour time period, date, day, and month) that the face of the Blancpain Villeret Quantieme Annuel GMT is relatively sparse and clean.Lovers of only symmetrical dials will probably find the eccentric layout on the Blancpain Quantieme Annuel GMT dial bothersome, and people who enjoy a bit of asymmetry in their watches will probably appreciate the look in addition to the immaculate legibility. This steel version of this Blancpain Quaniteme Annuel GMT is the most bizarre looking of the sequence. The 18k red gold version has a “sunburst gray” dial, whereas the 18k white gold model gets the most intricate-looking dial that is “stamped flinque opaline.”

The moon phase function has evolved from its traditional role as an accompaniment to men’s perpetual calendars to a “poetic” complication, used more often in ladies’ watches. It has been reimagined in many ways that depart from the traditional blue-sky-gold-moon-and-stars configuration, but Blancpain finds a way to maintain tradition while updating the function for a modern ladies’ watch. The Blancpain Villeret Date Moonphase, introduced at Baselworld 2017, sports the traditional moon phase colors and configuration – as it should in a traditional collection such as the Blancpain Villeret – but with a few small tweaks to make it feminine, even poetic.

If you look closely, you will see that the moon has eyelashes, lips that look as if lipstick has been applied and, what’s that? – a beauty spot. The artificial mole or beauty spot (known as a mouche for its resemblance of a fly) was regarded in 18th century France as symbolizing a playfully teasing attitude. Mouches were used by coquettish ladies of the Court as messages to their suitors that differed according to where they were placed.

The movement is a next-generation caliber made by Blancpain watches replica Replica specifically for ladies’ watches and is an example of the commitment being made by luxury watch brands to develop a stable of calibers sized for ladies’ watches that are equipped with all the advancements in watchmaking that are often reserved just for men’s movements. The Caliber 913QL is an evolution of the women’s Caliber 953, a 21mm-diameter movement that has been a staple of ladies’ watches at Blancpain. It remains the same size but now has a high-performance silicon balance spring. Silicon’s low density makes it lighter and thus more shock-resistant. It is also impervious to magnetic fields and generally more stable, with improved isochronism.

In addition, the 913 has a glucydur balance wheel with gold micrometric regulating screws, which makes it adjustable and also more shock-resistant than its predecessor. There is also an improved winding system that uses a ball-bearing mounted rotor. The sapphire case back reveals the rotor, which is red gold with a snailed bevel, polished chamfers and straight and circular Côtes de Genève patterns. The Caliber 913QL is fitted with a moon phase module, a wheel with 59 cogs covering two complete 29.5-day lunar cycles. It has a 40-hour power reserve.
