Blancpain

Why?

 

Fr. Xavier,

Why did you post this? My watch preferences go against this type of watch...but this one is special. Now I have to rethink my prejudices!

That is the first tourbillon (and there's been recent discussions on HoMe about them) that I've really liked.

Actually, there's many elements that I like. The dial finish, the dial layout, the decoration on the movement with the detailed, but not overly-ornate rotor, the power reserve....But mainly that all those features reside within a 37.5mm case. The only - very slight - issue I have is the "Tourbillon" script  on the dial - that mechanism is right there in front of your eyes!

Fantastic. Thanks.
