BaselWorld 2012: Blancpain Villeret Skeleton 8 Days
It’s been a while since we’ve featured a classic, skeletonised timepiece here on The Watch Lounge and so when Blancpain unveiled their new Villeret Skeleton 8 days at this year’s Basel World we just knew we had to share!
Housed in a 38mm white gold case, the manual wind Blancpain Calibre 1333SQ, which boasts an incredible 8-day or 192 hour power reserve, has been completely skeletonized and hand-decorated to the highest degree on both the front and back.
The finished product is a stunning visual treat for the observer, providing a gentle reminder that relatively simplistic traditional techniques can still produce truly breathtaking results.
