With the new Ladybird Colors watch series, Blancpain plays with colour combinations to enhance two refined small seconds and moon-phase complications. These indications newly introduced to the Ladybird Colors collection are smoothly integrated into the design of this jewellery line.
The textured mother-of-pearl dial set with 70 diamonds features colourful midnight blue, peacock green, forest green, lilac or turquoise Roman numerals and these variations are picked up on the straps of these red or white gold models.
The visual balance characterising the new Ladybird Colors models is subtly ruffled by an asymmetrical touch found on all the dial elements. The offset Roman numerals are underscored by an inner ring adorned with delicately tapering gemsetting that continues on the small seconds and moon-phase indicators.
With its 34.9 mm diameter, the case of the new Ladybird Colors models features pleasing proportions highlighting its 59 diamonds totalling more than 2 carats.
Ladybird Colors models feature high-end gemsetting in which each parameter is meticulously hand-adjusted to ensure phenomenal radiance.
Blancpain Ladybird Colors watch houses Calibre 1163 for the small seconds version and Calibre 1163L for the moon-phase iteration. Endowed with a four-day power reserve and a silicon balance spring, they are designed to keep track of daily life with a blend of accuracy, comfort and style.
Their painstakingly decorated main components are as technically functional as they are aesthetically pleasing, while their gold oscillating weight matching the case colour features circular open-worked patterns harmoniously reflecting the dial design.
The Ladybird collection reflects the pioneering role Blancpain has played in the history of feminine watches. From the first automatic ladies’ wristwatch in 1930 to the smallest mechanical movement several decades ago and on to the sophisticated modern-day design, the Ladybird collection embodies Blancpain’s passion for the extraordinary.
The history of Blancpain ladies’ watches is inextricably bound up with the determination of Betty Fiechter, who became the first woman to head a watch Maison at the beginning of the 1930s. Her intelligence and visionary spirit paved the way for the Brand’s jewellery watches and forged its international renown.
