Blancpain Villeret Quantième Complet GMT

The Villeret is Blancpain’s most classic, traditional collection. The Manufacture’s complete calendar GMT complication was originally introduced in 2002, and is now being enhanced with the brand’s patented under-lug correctors. Incorporating Blancpain’s latest technical innovations, the in-house Calibre 67A5 features a silicium balance spring for greater precision. The dial is white (stainless steel version) or opaline (red gold version), with the applied stylized Roman numerals that are a signature to the Villeret collection. The week and month appear in windows in the traditional arrangement, while the date is indicated by a blued serpentine hand on a scale placed around the chapter ring. The GMT function, which elevates this piece to the status of a high complication, presents the home time with a red-tipped hand on the inner dial, while local time is displayed with central hands pointing to the Roman numerals.
