Blancpain’s most classic and elegant collection, the Villeret, is named after the village where Blancpain had its origins in 1735. Over the year, the watches in this range are recognizable for their timeless appeal, fine execution and technical finesse demonstrated by their in-house movements. In 2020, the Villeret collection is further enhanced with the noble colour of blue thanks to the additions of two new timepieces i.e. the Quantième Complet and the Ultraplate.
The Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate is a brilliant representation of the Villeret collection’s signature aesthetic design. Its hour and minute hands are counterbalanced with a prominent central seconds hand and a date window located at the 3 o'clock position. This most legible timepiece is powered by the automatic Blancpain Calibre 1151 which moves the watch for 100 hours when fully wound.
