About this reference

Complications: Flying Carrousel: A flying carrousel is a complex watch mechanism that counters gravity’s effect on timekeeping. Unlike a tourbillon, it uses two gear trains—one for the escapement and one for carriage rotation. "Flying" refers to the lack of an upper bridge, giving it a floating look.; Automaton: An automaton is a mechanical device that performs programmed movements, often mimicking life. Integrated into watches, it blends function and artistry. Powered by gears, levers, and springs, it reflects centuries of horological ingenuity and the watchmaker’s creative mastery.; Secured movement: A secured movement is a watchmaking innovation designed to protect delicate mechanisms and ensure lasting precision. By preventing accidental damage when setting the watch, it enhances reliability over time. At Blancpain, secured movements are a hallmark of our craftsmanship.; Minute Repeater: The minute repeater is a watch mechanism that chimes the time on demand. By activating a pusher or slide, the watch strikes gongs to indicate the hours, quarters, and minutes, offering a precise acoustic reading of time. Blancpain uses cathedral gongs; their extended length optimizes sound diffusion and richness, creating a deeper and more harmonious tone.. Dial: Dial Color: White grand feu enamel.
