Blancpain Villeret Grande Date
(4 items)In the Blancpain Villeret Grande Date, the presence of a large date meets purist elegance and more than 280 years of experience in fine watchmaking.
Handcrafted in the tradition-rich Vallée de Joux, the timeless dress watch is driven by the elaborately decorated in-house caliber 6950 with automatic winding and 72 hours of power reserve. Bring understatement and mechanical peak performance together in a stylish way.
Pure lines and refined details
At the center of the Grande Date is its prominent large date, positioned at six o'clock. Distinguished by two independent number rings, it increases legibility compared to a classic date display and sets the model series apart from the related Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate series. Roman numerals, the brand emblem on the seconds hand and an elegant double-ring border of the dial combine the distinguished character of the Grande Date with refined elements. Two color schemes are available to you: while the stainless steel variants express their cool note with a white dial, the Grande Date as an 18-carat red gold version has a silver and somewhat warmer face.
Both materials come with a 40-millimeter case that is a flat 10.9 millimeters. Distinguished by its clean lines and slim lugs, it is worn either on a plain alligator leather strap or a gleaming mille-mailles bracelet with a folding clasp. As with the Blancpain Villeret Large Date with retrograde day display, the case back has a generous viewing window for admiring the delicate mechanics.
Tradition meets innovation: the movement
It impresses not only with its high power reserve and detailed decoration, but also shines with a modern silicon balance spring and a secured construction. The latter gives the Grande Date considerable resistance to shocks and thus contributes to the longevity of the caliber, which consists of 285 individual parts. In this way, the timepiece embodies the guiding principle that the company has been implementing since its founding by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain in 1735: combining existing cutting-edge technology with modern innovations and redefining the boundaries of horology again and again. In the last 13 years alone, the world's oldest watch brand has developed over 37 new calibers, among which the high-end movements of the Villeret Carrousel collection undoubtedly stand at the top. With your Grande Date, become part of the fascinating company history from Le Brassus.
