... I am the wrong person to comment since I personally appreciate Blancpain and their beautiful and very well executed timepieces for more than two decades.
I have my own theory that after the heavy marketing years with Jean Claude Biver at the helm the Manufacture deliberately wanted to be a bit more unobtrusive, with marketing focus on certain activities/affinities like the Ocean Commitment initiative.
That being said, they would clearly deserve more attention besides the Fifty Fathoms model family. But as far as I understand the Villeret is the best selling line since many years, so they actually are recognized quite well, maybe just not discussed often.

Love that curvaceous hand, the one I assume to be a GMT hand. Blancpain still has a marketing challenge, when I consider how under-appreciated the Villeret line watches are. How would you jumpstart brand recognition?

Hi They look superb. Very nice alarm watch - GMT function is an added bonus. Is the power reserve indicator for the alarm? Cheers JML

thank you for this interesting post. I didn’t even know, that this model exists... Is this the equivalent to the Breguet Réveil du Tsar? Best, Thomas

The BP dial is much cleaner and attracts me more than the Breguet dial. Perhaps I get the chance to see it in the flesh. Cheers, Thomas
