blancpain leman chrono grande date

We're not even done celebrating the holidays and in barely two months, another celebration will put millions of people the world over in a state of panic once again, looking for that perfect gift for their loved ones.The Blancpain Saint Valentin 2010 Watch seeks to pre-empt this excitement brought about by the coming Valentines Day. This watch is devoted to Pure Love and Femininity and that is easily evident with its unique shape.The watch comes in an inverted heart, or more appropriately a tulip shape case filled with more than 500 diamonds and pink sapphires that are just right for the moment. The watch is powered by a Lady Bird Calibre 615 movement known to be the smallest self-winding movement in the world.The Blancpain Saint Valentin 2010 Watch was specifically created for the Day of St. Valentin so it is natural that it comes in a limited edition of only 14 pieces. Even the watch dial comes in a white and pink mother of pearl in the shape of an inverted heart. A heart-cut diamond can be found at 12 o'clock.All this glory is attached to your writs by a genuine satin strap either in black or white.

Thankfully we are no where near Valentine’s day – yet. The oft-hyped holiday strikes fear into the hearts of many men poised with the daunting task of offering their mate not only the perfect gift, but the perfect day. Swiss Blancpain gives men another reason to worry with the 2011 version of their “Saint Valentin” watch for Valentine’s day. The 2011 watch is very classic in style, and even the iconic Blancpain features are subdued. The watch is a triple calendar style with moon phase. Meaning it has an annual calendar complication, the time with a subsidiary seconds dial, and a smiling moon phase indicator.The watch is mostly white in tone, with a 35mm wide steel case, bezel lined with 49 diamonds, more diamonds on the mother-of-pearl dial, and two hearts. No Valentine’s day watch can resist the inclusion of red hearts! The first is used as the hand on the date indicator dial on the watch face, and other other is a bit higher-end on the luxury scale being a heart-shaped ruby located on the bezel at the 12 o’clock position.Blancpain includes their in-house made Calibre 6763 automatic movement that is visible through the sapphire caseback window. A watch like this feels like a men’s model turned femme – which inherently it is. The watch doesn’t exclude girliness, but it rather a stately gift for a mature and sophisticated woman (that has a penchant for fine mechanical watches). Blancpain will make only 99 pieces of this 2011 Saint Valentin watch and it should be available early next year. Interestingly enough, it comes in a box that is little locked treasure chest. There is an accompanying white gold heart (wearing a corset) that is opened to reveal the key. Personally I would want a written letter from her saying that whatever is in the box will satisfy her Valentine’s day expectations.
