Blancpain’s Villeret line is known for elegance and timeless dress watches. Extending the heritage the brand has now unveiled three new watches - Villeret Quantième Complet Phases de Lune and Villeret Ultraplate, in four variations each, and Villeret Quantième Phases de Lune, in eight versions.
Villeret Quantième Complet Phases de Lune
Crafted in 18-karat red gold or stainless steel, all four Villeret Quantième Complet Phases de Lune references measure 40 mm. The watches feature double stepped bezel, just like the older version, however, this time a little slimmer. Further refinements include larger crowns, thinner profiles, as well as reworked lugs. Patented in 2005, there are also under-lug correctors for easy operation.
Available in opaline or golden brown dial variations, the design codes of the dials are the same in all four. There are 18ct white or red gold Roman hour markers, a date ring, signature moonphase at 6 o’clock, and rectangular day and month windows at 12 o’clock.
Powering these watches is the automatic Blancpain Manufacture Calibre 6654.4 with a silicon hairspring, beating at 4Hz and boasting a 72 hour power reserve.

As the collection name states, the dials of the watch are minimal. There are 18-karat white or red gold Roman hour markers and a small date window at 3 o’clock.
Powering the watches is the automatic Blancpain Manufacture Calibre 1151 with a silicon hairspring, beating at 3Hz and boasting about 100 hours of power reserve.
