Today's featured watch is Blancpain's 'Women, Only Watch 2013'
Blancpain
Blancpain began making timepieces in 1735 in Villeret, Switzerland following it's founding by Jehan-Jaques Blancpain. The company is now has headquarters in Biel, Switzerkand with 35 stores and 396 retailers worldwide.The company has never produced quartz watches in the past and has stated in its advertisements that it never will, nor have they ever produced watches with digital displays. In comparison to a large watch maker like Rolex, which makes about 2,000 watches a day, Blancpain produces fewer than three watches per day. Each watch is made by a single watchmaker.
Blancpain is also famous for being the creator of one of the most complicated mechanical watches ever made, the Blancpain 1735, which is a true grand complication (Tourbillon, minute repeater, perpetual calendar, split chrono), a limited edition of 30 pieces only, production of just one piece per year.
The video below showcases the "Saint Valentin 2013", from the 'Women' Collection and created especially for Valentine's Day, 2013. The stunning combination of gemstones, colours and shapes, and the extreme precision of Blancpain's movements, makes this piece a dedicated declaration of love.
First watch brand to commit alongside the Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophy, Blancpain is renewing its support this year by presenting a unique model from its Women collection. This watch specially created for the Only Watch 2013 charity auction will travel the world before going under the hammer in Monaco on September 28th.
This one-of-a-kind model combines mother-of-pearl marquetry, diamonds and engraving in a delightfully feminine watch equipped with a self-winding movement. On the dial, a white mother-of-pearl dove flies across a blue mother-of-pearl sky. With 12 diamonds hour-markers set around the dial, the watch radiates a feminine aura of elegance. A glance through the sapphire crystal case-back offers a chance to appreciate the decorative work on the oscillating weight bearing a dove engraving and the inscription ONLY WATCH 2013, like an anthem to life. This watch water-resistant to 3 bar is fitted with a white alligator leather strap and a folding clasp.
