Blancpain Villeret Carrousel Moonphase 42mm

Polished 18kt rose gold case.

Full-fired “Grand Feu”white enamel dial.

Stylized black printed Roman Numeral hour markers.

Elegant polished rose gold leaf shaped skeletonized hour & minute hands.

Date:

Date indicated by the blued curved hand which points to the current date printed on the dial perimeter.

Carrousel:

Located at the 12 o’clock position & visible through an opening in the dial.

Designed to counteract the effect of gravity on the balance-wheel & escapement, which will contribute to a more consistent accuracy from the watch.

The Carrousel carriage makes a single full rotation once every minute thus doubling as a seconds indicator.

The Carrousel consists of a platform on which the balance wheel & its bridge go round like a horse on a merry-go-round, hence the name “CARROUSEL”.

The Carrousel differs from the Tourbillon: the Tourbillon has its balance wheel & escapement mounted to a cage rather than a platform.

Blancpain Caliber 225L, composed of 281 components, contains 40 jewels & has an impressive power reserve of 120 hours.

Comes in a finely detailed wood “humidor” box with inlay decorations.
