Timelessly elegant
Blancpain’s native village of Villeret lends its name to the most classic collection from the Brand. Firmly anchored in tradition, these models exemplify its roots and embody the brand’s prime aesthetic choices. The purity of their lines, the clarity of their dials and the slenderness of their double-stepped cases express essentials with timeless elegance.
The Villeret collection incorporates the results of recent research conducted by Blancpain in the field of movement making. Under-lug correctors, secured calendar and moon phase mechanism, exceptional power reserves: everything possible is done to enhance its timepieces.
“The Villeret collection symbolises Blancpain’s history and longevity. It enjoys an incredibly solid foundation across all of watchmaking’s celebrated complications, as well as many Blancpain exclusives such as our Traditional Chinese Calendar and Carrousel watches.”
—Marc A. Hayek, Président & CEO
The Villeret collection, resolutely in tune with the times
Blancpain subtly and consistently reinterprets this collection with a contemporary face that nonetheless preserves its emblematic aesthetic. Far from representing a break with tradition, the new models reassert the Maison’s enduring attachment to authentic horological values, powerfully demonstrated by grand feu enamel dials and blued steel serpentine hands for the calendar display.
