Blancpain Villeret Grande Date Jour Rétrograde
Why we love it:
For the first time, we see a retrograde day indicator on Blancpain’s classic Villeret collection, placed between 7 and 9 o’clock, right beside the large date positioned between 5 and 6 o’clock. The position of these indicators are intentional, to keep the dial well proportioned and balanced.
Taking the seamless approach a step further, Blancpain uses under-lug calendar correctors so that save for the main crown, the profile of the watch is clean. Such is the way in the world of Villeret, where achieving a pure and elegant aesthetic comes first.
