In the spirit of the classic Villeret collection, this marvelous timepiece from Blancpain focuses on the essence of timekeeping, with no jaunty decorations or unnecessary complications, but with an incredible 192-hour power reserve. The self-winding 1335 caliber, with its 35 jewels, is nested inside a neat 42mm case made of 18K white gold, which features sapphire crystal case back and 30m water resistance, while held in place with a black alligator leather strap lined with alzavel and secured on the wrist with a folding clasp. The cambered grand feu white enamel dial with stylized Roman numerals features skeletonized hours and minutes hands and subtle seconds hand as well as date aperture at three o'clock.
