Blancpain Villeret full calendar moon phase watch
 
Classic does not mean exclusion of new ideas. Basel Watch Fair in 2010 on the debut of the new Villeret series watch, not only in the classical tradition at all levels valuable technology, but also highlights the classic among the proud achievements.

However, the classic does not mean get rid of new ideas. This concept is the Blancpain in its 275 anniversary of the respected. Basel Watch Fair in the first debut on the new Villeret watch, brand heritage at all levels not only valuable technology, but also highlights the classic among the proud achievements. Round case, dual-bezel design, Roman numerals, thin and lightweight, and low-key moderate restrained styling of the dial, Villeret is still full of classic charm, just nuances advantage of the opportunity to improve, more sophisticated design highlights the subtle Villeret innovative ideas.

At the beginning of the birth of Villeret series, that the whole calendar with moon phase function. Once upon a time, the proliferation of cheap quartz watch face competition watch manufacturers were forced to give up these complex functions. But then Blancpain equipped with the new moon phase for the re-published, again won praise from the majority of the global community. Equipped with the same complex process of new Villeret series flagship watch, the watch has a 42mm diameter, inherited the date of its classic features to increase the pointer; date, week and month display; six o’clock position of the moon phase display, cleverly concentrated on the creative limited space design. It is worth mentioning that, Villeret blue steel material to build the first time to the date of the pointer, and give an elegant winding curves. Re-interpretation of the full calendar moon phases, is the splendid achievements of Villeret pay tribute to the past, rather than the pursuit of advanced innovation. Early in the 18th century, watchmakers had used a pointer to the auxiliary winding curves indicate the date from two hundred years ago are still in use, the design is a pointer to the date and time instructions to do different, so they designed such a unique style. Villeret series past generations watch the moon phases, will indicate the date when the ring on the inside, while the new generation of watch diameter 42mm Villeret watch will indicate the date when moved to the outside of the ring. Others include Roman numerals and crown shape, also conducted a detailed reconstruction.
Villeret series’ new work, Blancpain 13R0, 8 everlasting power manual winding movement

Villeret not only faithful to the brand heritage design elements with multi-core values, while the refining distillation of the tabulation process, the power system and display settings are way better. Over time, the growing power reserve time extended from the initial 40-hour power to 48 hours, and then to the recent use of the double-barrel movement to extend the running time to 100 hours. Latest Villeret Moon phase watch in the wind and waves can be described as power reserves, the use of three barrel, free sprung balance wheel and gold titanium adjustment screw, the movement can provide up to 8 days (192 hours) of operation power. Power system in the use of color also follow the recent breakthroughs in the Villeret monochrome concept, not all movement of plywood, concrete slab, and wheel the rhodium-plated gold, silver to show unity in order to avoid automatically placed on the chain Thallium is not pure gold material to create misunderstanding. Therefore, the new series of gold put thallium Villeret retained the primary colors (rose gold or platinum styles to match different dial), together with cellular knot ornamentation evoke memories of 200 years ago, the classic design.

Blancapin Villeret new 8 days power reserve watch

Villeret series of the second paragraph of the new flagship watch, 42mm diameter watch, Manual, power reserve design.

In terms of design, not only the movement have been major breakthroughs in the calendar mechanism has also been improved greatly. And last year’s L-evolution models in the series the first time, the movement of 66R9 as new Villeret series of mechanical construction on the calendar with a loss prevention security adjustment features. This feature completely broke the full calendar moon phase watch industry standard, which shall not adjust the time in no time, so as not to damage the full calendar moon phase watch escapement drives fine. Therefore, the manual is usually prohibited in bold indicate when to adjust the power system. The Blancpain Villeret series new moon phase watch is equipped with power system loss prevention safety device, you can not adjust the time limit. Not only in day time can be any time adjust, adjust the way more nimble convenient. New Villeret Moon phase watch in the watch below the ear with a patented Blancpain adjustment button.

New watch two models were introduced, a limited edition for the special case of platinum material, another for the rose gold case, are accompanied by baked enamel dial. It is worth mentioning that Blancpain previous works never before made such a traditional way of the dial.

Blancpain Villeret moon phase watch

Villeret series of the second paragraph of the new flagship watch Villeret moon phase watch, watch design of the same diameter of 42mm, with manual winding power reserve. Villeret moon phase watch with the family watch as a sister, Villeret watch with manual winding movement with three barrels, free sprung balance wheel and gold titanium screw adjustment, also offers 8 days power reserve. If you are the Blancpain brand’s loyal fans, then you must know that this is the 13R0 movement, to date, to be eligible for use 13R0 movement only limited edition Le Brassus watch. This, Villeret the 13R0 in the movement used in its new, does not make the slightest change, including its unique “partridge eye” shape inlaid with big jewelry. The launch of these two enamel dial watch, rose gold models, whether or platinum, are used 13R0 movement.

In the past, only a unique special watch to appear and a half hunting case design. The Villeret series of half-time introduction of four new hunting watch design, its symbolic importance is evident.

Both called the series, Villeret the shape of the launch of seven. Styles, Blancpain past classic design elements into the new work perfectly, one of which is a half hunting case. The two kinds of semi-hunting watch bottom – solid bottom and the transparent case back – the advantage of rolled into one. Needless to say, solid phase or the bottom in terms of product on hand is more perfect than the transparent case back, but the price just can not see the movement’s true capacity. The use of semi-hunting case, the integrity of both the experience of the watch, but also at any time to see the movement of real content.

Rose gold is the first full calendar moon phase watch, case diameter of 40mm, slightly less than 8 power watch face plate. Half full calendar moon phase watch features a power reserve of the watch with the 8 day long version of the same safety devices, adjust the button beneath the lugs the same place. In addition, the dial with knots Microhyla, creating the unique beauty of the new moon phase watch. 8-day power reserve watch the same version, date pointer is also used blue steel snake style.

Paragraph and a half hunting watch pocket watch, the watch can be considered in Need. In the past few decades, Blancpain produced a very limited number of pocket watches, watch the launch of the new series is no exception Villeret. Each pocket watch movement plates are hand crafted, designed to provide three different movements. Three different process design and limited number of works, makes this watch even more valuable. Villeret selected enamel pocket watch dial, and more to highlight its unique charm.

To simplify the movement’s appearance and highlight its essence, Blancpain decides to get rid of the splint and holder, which makes the interface more refreshing. The usual method is to simplify it, which retains the most basic part of the metal frame. The appearance of the movement not only isn’t simplified, but also reduces the metal parts, which develops the intricate relationship between the watch bridge and splint.

Therefore, this method probably will not work. Blancpain Caruso wanted to show the ultimate technology, the best way is to remove all the plywood and the concrete slab. So that all unnecessary parts have completely disappeared. Sounds easy, but the movement always needs “something” to support and secure the important parts. The answer lies in sapphire plates. Remove metal splint and general support, and replaced with fully transparent sapphire, the idea sounds simple, it can be not so easy to achieve.

For many years, Blancpain dedicates to the innovative processes to sapphire as the material to replace the original movement of plywood and concrete slab, and the development of new and revolutionary way to ensure the perforation holes and the rest of the high degree of accuracy, in order to further development movement. Although there is already flying Caruso (The reason that “fly” Caruso, because it relies entirely on the framework of the rotating frame the bearings, not the top bracket), but to achieve a new sapphire plates and support structure, it must be machine core to overhaul the design. Therefore, no matter where one perspective, this is a new Blancpain watches.

This design ultimately makes Caruso “floating” in the watch, no offshoot margins. One minute flight Caruso watch plenty of space to show the configuration completely around the movement around the other important parts, including barrel, rotating gears, and replace the traditional key on the chain leading. Sapphire plywood, concrete slab case with sapphire close fit, the perfect carving process concentrated to the Blancpain L-evolution diameter 43.5mm rose gold case, transparent case back through the back and enjoy the beauty of harmony and movement. L-evolution Caruso sapphire series watch, the world’s limited edition 50, there will be a rare treasure.
