Blancpain Villeret Lineage
The Villeret collection represents Blancpain’s dedication to traditional watchmaking. Blancpain, established in 1735, is considered the oldest watchmaking brand still in operation Blancpain History. The Villeret models are inspired by the watches created by the company’s workshop in villeret, Switzerland, and frequently enough feature complications like complete calendars, perpetual calendars, and tourbillons.
What a Complete Calendar Does
A complete calendar watch displays the day of the week,the date,and the month. Unlike a perpetual calendar, a complete calendar typically requires manual adjustment at the end of months with fewer than 31 days. This makes it a more accessible complication than a perpetual calendar, while still offering significant functionality for the discerning watch enthusiast.
