Hello nice split perpetual watch ,but I see the same photos on timezone from a watch lover named DONUT.

The Matou

I tried to sign up here as Donut but the system used my e-mail to make my name, if I can change to Donut I would prefer as that is what I use everywhere else.

Moderators...can this be done?

 

Best Regards,

Rob

Really one of my favourite, if not THE, watches in existance.

Enjoy!

Congrats for this amazing piece.

The printing on the dial is particularly impressive. As are all those rose gold hands. As are the pushers. As are...

It's just quality all round. This piece really sums up the strengths of Blancpain as a manufacture.

What's the movement inside? As a flyback, I'm assuming the 1135, with some extras...of course, I could be wrong.

Odd that BP didn't utilise their now-famous lug-mounted levers instead of old-style stylus-operated caseband pushers for the calendar setting. Forgive my ignorance, but is this the case for all their perpetual chronos? Does the chrono movement get in the way of the extra levers and springs needed for the lug-mounted adjusters?

I'm told that it is a complete perpetual calendar/chrono from the ground up...not stacked components.

Here is some technical stuff from the Blancpain website...

 

 

 

which you captured very well. It is quite a complication, almost a 'Grand Complication'. Elegantly packed by Blancpain in a watch that does so well without a display back.

The movement is, btw, a split-second flyback chronograph with a perpetual calender added on top (that means it is not entirely integrated). That said, I am not aware of any production watch which would have the perpetual function integrated into the main plate.

Enjoy many lucky hours with your new treasure!

Best,
Magnus
