Blancpain presents its new masterpiece, a marriage between horology and astronomy, in a resolutely classic red gold case. Like the old half-hunter watches, it is fitted with a single cover rather than two like the hunter. The decorated movement, with an automatic moon-phase calendar with two barrels and a rotor in solid gold, can be seen through the sapphire crystal.
