The Baselworld 2017 is now on ! Let’s start with this year’s Blancpain novelties from the classic – Villeret collection.
 
The most sought after and biggest event associating all watch lovers together in one place is now on. Today, I’m gonna bring you a little bit closer some of the Blancpain novelties from Villeret collection, which I truly adore.
 
 
Blancpain Villeret Day-Date

Classic slender hands and bold roman numerals complementing subtle vintage class of its design – these are the hallmarks of the Villeret watch. This year, we can see the ‘day-date’ functions for the first time in Villeret collection. It is a good information for people, who wish to have day and date functions together without the whole annual calendar. It features reasonably sized case with a diameter of 40mm – made of stainless steel. I love that beautifully polished case and numerals, which harmonizes really well with a matt white dial – I were always obsessed with the white dial when it is a Blancpain we are talking about. From the technical aspect, the heart of this new Villeret Day-Date watch is the self-winding calibre 1160DD movement. It’s made of 275 components (including 34 jewels). It operates at 28,000 vph (4 Hz) and the two mainspring barrels provide the watch with 72 hours of power reserve.
