Blancpain’s Villeret collection has taken a refined step forward with the introduction of two new sizes: 38 mm and 29 mm. This evolution caters to a broader audience, ensuring that the elegance of the Villeret Ultraplate can now adorn more wrists than ever.
The Allure of the Villeret Ultraplate
The Villeret Ultraplate, known for its understated sophistication, now offers a 38 mm case alongside the traditional 40 mm. This new size is designed to disappear on the wrist, embodying the essence of a dress watch that is both persuasive and forgettable. The collection introduces a sunburst salmon dial, a first for Villeret, paired with an anthracite nubuck strap. Additionally, a boutique-exclusive model features a striking combination of steel, yellow gold, and an olive-green nubuck strap, showcasing the brand’s commitment to contrast and elegance.
Salmon: A New Chapter in Villeret’s Vocabulary
For the first time, the Villeret collection embraces a salmon dial, a hue that shifts beautifully throughout the day, reflecting tones of copper, rose, and gold. This dial is set within a stainless steel case, harmonising warmth and restraint. The 18 ct gold numerals are treated with a new black finish, enhancing the overall aesthetic. Alongside this vibrant option, a more subdued gold-toned opaline dial remains available, catering to those who prefer a quieter elegance.
Moon Phase: A Signature Complication
Continuing the tradition of excellence, the Villeret Phases de Lune is now available in a 29.2 mm case, maintaining its signature moon phase complication. This model exemplifies Blancpain’s mastery in creating timepieces that are not only functional but also steeped in the art of horology.
Vampirsky take
The Villeret collection’s latest offerings reflect a delicate balance between innovation and tradition. As the world of horology evolves, Blancpain remains steadfast in its pursuit of elegance, ensuring that each piece is a testament to the brand’s rich heritage. The introduction of these new sizes and the captivating salmon dial are not merely changes; they are a celebration of the art of watchmaking.
