Blancpain treat for the ladies - Interwatches.com News

Blancpain will be presenting, as every year now, an exclusive creation for Valentine’s Day. A limited series of 14 watches set with 2.95K of precious stones adding refined aesthetics to the Blancpain Women collection.

With its diamond-set bezel and lugs, caseband set with four diamonds and a heart-shaped ruby, crown adorned with a diamond and pushpieces covered with cabochon-cut rubies, the white gold case of this Saint-Valentin Chronograph 2012 sparkles with dazzling splendour. Its engraved mother-of-pearl dial, featuring a marquetry-work motif composed of three white mother-of-pearl hearts and set with 8 diamonds, highlights the exquisite craftsmanship of the master-dialmakers of the Manufacture.

The Saint-Valentin Chronograph 2012 houses the self-winding Calibre F185 that drove the very first ladies’ flyback chronograph model. It features central hour and minute hands, seconds shown on a subdial at 6 o’clock and the date appearing through an oval aperture at 12 o’clock.  In an additional nod to Cupid, the heart-shaped counterweight of the central sweep seconds hand is delicately hand-painted with a feather. 

The Blancpain Saint-Valentin 2012 special edition watches will be presented in a precious wooden box lined with white nappa leather and they will be exclusively available at the Blancpain boutiques.
