This Blancpain is so versatile and legible that one could wear it...
Anywhere... Anytime...
In the boardroom..
With jacket off, in the privacy of one's office
Welcoming VIPs in style
Having high tea with royalties
Meeting celebrities
Shooting a rifle..
Teaching a thing or two about Judo
In casual jacket.. ready for some gardening?
Relaxing by the waterfront, dressed down in a Polo-T
Fishing trip, anybody?
Now putting politics aside, this is, in any WIS' objective sense, a very fine example of a one-high-end-watch-for-everything, which most probably only someone who has worn it for a period of time could really appreciate. Besides the versatility and extreme legibility, I find that it has a really comfortable fit, well-balanced esthetics, hand finished movement, haute horlogerie prestige, and is relatively affordable(if you can still find one considering the rarity).
Finally, with good eyesight inversely proportional with age, the grande date is really a big welcome for me indeed!

Agreed. A nice, versatile watch.
Not sure why BP removed it from the catalogue (didn\'t they?). Guess it wasn\'t very popular.
Thanks for the info.
Hopefully BP brings back a similar line of watches at around the 40 mm size.
Not just this particular model..
In fact, the entire Leman line has been discontinued (from AD's mouth and physical BP catalogue), although the BP official website still lists them.
Rumours that the Leman line is discontinued...
... exist since a couple of years, actually since Blancpain introduced the l'Evolution line. But since that one has been no real success, some existing Leman references are still alive ;-) I agree, Blancpain should invest a bit into this excellent blend o...
His current favourite I believe, is an FP Journe Chronometre Bleu..
which I'm quite certain he won't wear it to go swimming or fishing.
I love the picture with the De Caprio a lot. I am almost guessing what Putin is saying to him:
" You bloooody Bastardo, you have a Nautilus on your wrist... Care to trade? Miiine is a superb Blancpain , very rare, the Pope gifted it to me personally. You should accept... ".
I've gotta start wearing mine again
since he is such a famous figure maybe it will rub off on me Cazalea ...
If I was annexing Ukraine and needed a watch
This Blancpain would be high on my list!
Thug's Life!
Looks like he did sign an annexing treaty (Crimea) wearing this Blancpain! ...
:-)
And look at that concentrate. He is probably thinking P-U-T-I- ... Now what was that other letter ? Great "watch spotting"!
Not polonium resistant.. Nevertheless..
He's back to wearing his favorite watch after a recent love affair with the FP Journe Chronometre Bleu... I guess for a daily wearer, he just couldn't do without the Grande Date... LOL ...
