In anticipation of BaselWorld 2012: a collection Villeret by Blancpain

The new 2012 the famous collection Villeret of legendary watch company Blancpain has been added with a new model with lacquered dial, made in the technique flinqué (hot enamel). Technique flinqué is a process of melting transparent colored enamel on guilloche or engraved surface followed by sintering at 1000 ° C. Then numbers or hour markers of enamel are applied on the dial; this process also needs sintering sometimes up to 12 times for a single dial. Each step requires careful work by hand of the master. Today the company Blancpain is the only watch manufactory, which produces enamel dials of convex shape.
The novelty has become the first model, made using the technique flinqué. Multiple layers of translucent blue paint on the dial create a unique sense of depth. The company Blancpain uses only a balanced approach to the introduction of this technology, while retaining the characteristic features of its most classic collection - Villeret. The town Villeret, where the company Blancpain was founded, has become a source of inspiration for creation of this collection. The collection Villeret has become the classic collection of the company, the real embodiment of the traditional timing. A convex case with Roman numerals and rigorous design is a striking feature of all models of Villeret.
Perfectly round case of a new model with lacquered blue dial is made of white gold and has a diameter of 40 mm. 72 hour power reserve is provided by ultra thin mechanism 7663Q with 34 rubies, consisting of 244 components. This new mechanism with self-winding provides work of the hour and minute hands, as well as work of a quite interesting, with curved tip central hand of blued steel, indicating the current date, which is located around the dial. At 6 o'clock position is located retrograde seconds indicator. Under the lugs at 5 o’clock position is located the corrector for faster adjustment of the date. The case back is covered with durable sapphire glass, which opens the eyes moving guilloche rotor, which became a distinctive feature of the collection Villeret. The watch strap with lining, matching the dial, is made of alligator skin and equipped with solid folding clasp, which ensures maximum comfort when wearing this watch. Water resistance of the model is up to 30 meters.
