blancpain no 135

Blancpain will soon have a watch showing event on October 19th, 2010 in conjunction with the Tourbillon watch store. Both are part of the Swatch Group. While the event will be hosted by the Tourbillon store that is on Rodeo, it will take place at the SLS Hotel on 465 South La Cienega Blvd. The event will be from 6-9pm. It should be interesting, and will likely show off some new pieces. Important for watch lovers is the fact that the Blancpain name will soon be applied to most of Swatch Groups best movements. Likely to be a nice event for Los Angeles based watch lovers. Ariel Adams publishes the luxury watch reviews site aBlogtoRead.com.

When you talk about watches that manage to deck themselves up to the best then here's an example that we cannot help giving. The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Tourbillon watch has a black dial and luminous hour markers that are completely gold. It also has a black unidirectional bezel and a black synthetic strap. Besides the good looks, the watch also has a cool self-winding movement and an ability to keep itself charged enough for 7 days. The tourbillion is placed at 12 o'clock while a power reserve display is placed at 6 o'click.
