Blancpain and Francis Ford Coppola
The “Villeret Automatic” Blancpain watch
In 2000 Blancpain produced a wristwatch that, at that moment, belonged to the movie producer Francis ford Coppola. Francis personally donated the watch to the North Beach Citizens organization destined to help those children without family or either a home, or those who live in poverty conditions in California.
Francis Ford Coppola is an American film director, producer and screenwriter. He is primarily known for directing the Godfather films, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now. He is the only one who has won five Academy Awards.
The “Villeret Automatic” Blancpain watch gets to be a very flat watch. It features hour and minutes indicators, also the power reserve one. On its back, it can be read the “Francis ford Coppola, Piece Unique” inscription.
