Blancpain

Just wanted to share a couple of Blancpain Bathyscaphe Titanium wrist shots taken next to a large window. ...  

So what's the verdict on this one? Impressions and thoughts?

GENERAL I think it's important to understand modern bathyscaphe versions reinterprete the original and do not try to replicate it. You will only find slight design cues such as the slightly domed sapphire glass or the shape of the indices and hands that r...
