A Blancpain anthem to love
For Valentine’s Day, Blancpain once again proclaims its love for women by introducing a passionate timepiece especially dedicated to them.
The backdrop for the dial of this new watch designed to mark the day of love and romance is a mother-of-pearl sky sprinkled with 19 diamonds and four rubies, all brilliant-cut and secured using the “star-setting” technique. This type of gemsetting involves using a metal base in order to drive the stone into the dial. For the very first time in the Blancpain collections, the exquisite sapphire moon phase has been placed at a sloping angle at 6 o’clock.
