About This Watch
The Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate with grand feu enamel dial is one of the most beautiful dress watches in production, combining ultra-thin watchmaking with an artisanal dial technique that dates back centuries. The grand feu enamel dial is created by applying layers of enamel powder to a gold base and firing each layer in a kiln at over 800 degrees Celsius, a process that risks cracking or discoloration at every firing. The result is a dial of extraordinary purity and depth, with a luminous white that will not fade or discolor over centuries. The caliber 1150 is an ultra-thin automatic movement measuring just 3.25mm, enabling the total case thickness of only 7.7mm. Despite its slimness, the movement provides a remarkable 100-hour power reserve through twin mainspring barrels. The 40mm rose gold case features the Villeret collection's signature double-stepped bezel and elongated Roman numerals in a font exclusive to Blancpain. The combination of grand feu enamel, ultra-thin movement, and rose gold case represents the essence of the Villeret collection: classical haute horlogerie dedicated to beauty, refinement, and tradition.
