About This Watch
The Blancpain Ladybird Quantième Rétrograde pairs a sophisticated retrograde date complication with the Ladybird collection's feminine charm and diamond embellishments. The retrograde date hand sweeps across an arc from 1 to 30 at the top of the dial before instantaneously snapping back to 1 at the start of each month, a mechanically complex display that adds visual drama to the time-telling experience. The caliber 6913 drives this mechanism while maintaining the 100-hour power reserve that characterizes Blancpain's modern movements. The mother of pearl dial shifts between pink, white, and silver depending on the viewing angle, creating an organic, living surface. The bezel is set with 48 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.85 carats, adding sparkle without overwhelming the dial. At 34.9mm, the case is sized in the modern feminine sweet spot — smaller than men's watches but large enough to display complications legibly. The Ladybird Quantième Rétrograde demonstrates that Blancpain takes women's haute horlogerie seriously, offering mechanical complexity and artisanal finishing comparable to their men's collection.
