At this year’s Baselword, Blancpain will officially present its new Chronograph Grand Date watch. With its unique dial design and the sophisticated movement craftsmanship, this new incredible timepiece is a homage to the modern women who are independent and confident.
As a pioneer of the self-winding ladies’ watch, Blancpain has been continuing to create a variety of new timepieces for the modern ladies who are in quest of the complex functionality since 1930. With its watchmaking philosophy "The Tradition of Innovation," the brand is going to reveal its new Chronograph Grand Date watch at the coming Baselword. Boasting an elegant and luxury appearance, this new eye-catching timepiece gives a mother-of-pearl dial covered with the sparkling diamonds. Within the watch is a new self-winding movement developed by Blancpain to provide a series of complications.
Since the 1930s, Blancpain has firmly believed that women have a different connoisseurship for the timepiece, compared with the men. In addition to the beautiful appearance, the contemporary women love those mechanical watches with complex functions too. Therefore, the new Blancpain Chronograph Grand Date watch has remained their tradition designs while offering an innovative dial. At the first glance, its mother-of-pearl dial is glossy and smooth to reveal wearer’s elegant quality. On the dial, two diamonds-set lines below the second hand divide the dial into two irregular parts. In its upper part, an off-centered subdial in the position of 12 o’clock is also made of mother-of-pearl and set with Roman numbers to echo the Arab numbers in the lower part. There are also two symmetrical semicircular windows at 6 o’clock.
Within its 38.6 mm case is the brand’s new self-winding mechanical movement – calibre 26F8G – which includes 195 pieces of components. Made of 18k rose gold, the Chronograph Grand Date watch has a bright bezel filled with 40 pieces of beautiful diamonds. The water resistance from its sturdy case is 30 m. Through the sapphire crystal case back can enjoy its ingenious inner work, the mysterious Blancpain movement as well as the extremely feminine and elegant petal shaped rotor. Furthermore, the taper shaped diamond at the top of the crown has illustrated its fantastic ideas.
