Blancpain

How's Your Depth Perception

 

I took this photo of the Blancpain Carrousel at an angle to highlight the extraordinary depth of the dial/movement.  It is the dimensionality (is that a word?) of it all that reaches out and grabs you.  The dial, which consists of a chapter ring and the smaller date and power reserve rings, is made out of white gold and is finished like a thick movement plate.  Look at the anglage polish that shows in the photo.

More subtle is the carrousel itself.  In this photo you can see that it is elevated above the level of the movement plate.  This elevation really brings the machine to the fore.
