In 2025, Blancpain added 16 new models to its Villeret ‘Golden Hour’ line across its Ultraplate (time and date), Quantième Phases de Lune (date and moonphase), and Villeret Quantième Complet Phases de Lune models (complete calendar), in a collection called ‘Golden Hour’. One such model is the Villeret Quantième Complet Phases de Lune, Ref. 6654N 3646 55B.
Ref. 6654N 1146 55B stands out with its golden brown dial on an 18-karat red gold case – a beautiful autumnal shade that has been introduced in the line for the first time. This dial and the sunburst finishing on it are what grab attention instantly – with every movement of the wrist, the dial colour changes, ranging from brown gold to a deep brown to a grey. Enhancing it is the 40 mm case with a double stepped bezel. The new 2025 introductions feature a range of refined upgrades, one of which is the bezel that now has a slimmer, thinner profile. The crown has also been enlarged, and the lugs redesigned, though they continue to have the under-lug, easy-to-operate correctors (a simple press of the finger is all that is needed) that was patented in 2005. The size and the redesign go a long way to ensure that the watch sits comfortably on the wrist. Turn the watch over to see Blancpain’s automatic Manufacture Calibre 6654.4 with a silicon hairspring, and decorated with Côtes de Genève. The movement beats at a frequency of 4 Hz and provides a 72-hour power reserve
