Blancpain The L evolution Tourbillon Grande Date Reserve de Marche sur Masse Oscillante - Interwatches.com News

Blancpain is changing the rules on the power reserve and presents its L-evolution Tourbillon Grande Date with the power reserve indicator situated on the winding rotor of the timepiece. 

Moving the power-reserve indication to the winding rotor balances the design of the dial, and Blancpain has thus decided to move from its traditional space one of the fine watchmaking’s grand complications. The vital purpose of the complication can be completely fulfilled if the display is on the back of the watch, and if it is placed there then needless complication can be removed from the dial, increasing the readability of all of the other dialside indications.

This is precisely the thinking that led Blancpain to the design of the L-evolution Tourbillon Grande Date Réserve de Marche sur Masse Oscillante. The designers saw an opportunity to engineer a solution which had never before been achieved: place the powerreserve indicator on a movement element intimately tied to this display, the winding rotor.

The L-evolution Tourbillon Grande Date Réserve de Marche sur Masse Oscillante is offered in both red-gold and white-gold versions.
