Saint-Valentin 2011
Each year, Blancpain issues a special edition ladies timepiece for Valentine's Day. Previous love tokens included a flyback chronograph and a formed case cocktail watch.
This year, cupid's arrow strikes with a charming interpretation of Blancpain's complete calendar moonphase. In addition to day and month displays, the date indicator is tipped with a red heart, and a small seconds hand sweeps around the moonphase display at 6 o’clock. A single row of diamonds embellish the bezel with a heart-shaped ruby set at 12 o'clock. Roman numerals and diamond hour markers are applied on the mother-of-pearl dial.
Even the movement is special. The Saint-Valentin 2011 is fitted with an automatic Calibre 6763 visible through the sapphire crystal display back. This thin movement features an oscillating weight engraved with three hearts. With a 100-hour power reserve, the movement is both beauty and brawn.
The timepiece is limited to a series of 99 pieces and presented in a wooden jewellery case wrapped in a leather corset. The key that opens the case is enclosed within a heart.
