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.; 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..
