I recently attended the launch event of the new Blancpain perpetual calendar in green in Munich. While the spotlight was on the Villeret Quantième Perpétuel that evening, another timepiece captured my attention on the wrist of a lady nearby. This watch truly stood out with its gleaming steel case and bracelet, crisp white dial, and a bezel adorned with diamonds. I couldn’t resist seeking permission to capture some images of this exquisite timepiece.
This watch was the Blancpain Villeret Quantième Complet with a complete calendar, a practical complication that indicates the date, day of the week, and month. The signature moonphase indication at 6 o’clock adds allure to its overall aesthetic. Crafted from steel with a 38mm diameter, it is a versatile companion for everyday life. The dial, in a pristine white hue, is adorned with diamond markers along with Roman numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9.
The automatic movement features an impressive power reserve of 100 hours, allowing you to leave the watch untouched for up to four days without needing to wind it or reset the date upon your return.
If you feel that a diamond bezel might be too extravagant for everyday life and you want to strike a balance, opting for a simpler look like an all-black outfit or jeans would complement the watch without feeling excessive. However, on special occasions, especially when wearing an evening dress, the watch will truly sparkle and enhance your overall look.
With a price tag of 23,600 EUR, the Blancpain Villeret Quantième Complet is a great example of timeless elegance, functionality and solid technical craftsmanship.
