Baselworld 2013 will finally close its doors tomorrow, but there are still dozens of watches I plan to tell you about during the coming weeks. Among them, the new Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe clearly stands out thanks to its vintage-styled body, which is crafted using the most high-tech materials and manufacturing processes.
Set to be presented in flesh during the upcoming Baselworld 2013 show, the new Blancpain Chronographe Grande Date (Ref. 3626-2954-58A) automatic timekeeper seems to be very similar in styling to the lovely Blancpain Quantieme Retrograde ladies watch that was first revealed less than half a year ago.
Compared to many timepieces offered today, this Blancpain Quantieme Retrograde ladies watch not only sports a brilliantly executed marquetry mother-of-pearl dial, but also comes equipped with a gorgeous retrograde calendar complication that shares the dial real estate with a traditional moonphase display.
The Swiss watchmaker Blancpain has recently revealed a model that combines an in-house automatic movement and classic shape of the body with decisively high-tech bezel and case-back crafted from ultra-lightweight carbon fiber material, which is most often used in aerospace industry, as well as in the world of motor sports. Meet the new Blancpain L-Evolution Chronographe Flyback a Rattrapante Grande Date chronograph wrist watch!
In a couple of months the legendary Swiss watchmaking house Blancpain will update its collection of vintage-styled dress timekeepers with a beautiful Blancpain Collection Villeret Retrograde (Ref. 6653Q-1529-55B) automatic wrist watch that sports a finely crafted dial, which is executed using rare “flinque” technique. The watch will be officially presented during the upcoming Baselworld 2012 trade show.
The new Blancpain Chronographe Flyback Saint-Valentin 2012 (Ref. 3685F-9454-55B) ladies watch brings you the usual mix of white gold, mother-of-pearl and diamonds, as well as a sophisticated, high-quality automatic chronograph movement: a thing we rarely see in watches designed for women.
The new Blancpain X Fathoms (Ref. 5018-1230-64) automatic diving watch seems to be one of the most complicated mass-produced mechanical divers ever.
The new Blancpain L-evolution Tourbillon Large Date automatic watch seems to be the world’s first timekeeper to have its power reserve indicator implanted right into the oscillating weight of its winding rotor.
This year the Swiss watchmaking brand has significantly expanded its Collection Villeret line. The new Blancpain Villeret Chronographe Monopoussoir Quantieme Complet automatic watch looks like one of the most beautiful among them.
The oldest Swiss manufacture has just revealed some info regarding its new Blancpain Villeret Demi-Fuseau Horaire GMT (Ref. 6665) automatic watch that is going to be officially revealed at Baselworld 2011 trade show. As usual for this kind of classic-styled, vintage-inspired dress watches, the new timekeeper will be offered in a compact body of only 40 millimeters in diameter and, thanks to its thin automatic movement, also quite slender for such a feature-packed model.
