Blancpain Complete Calendar is at least as handy as an annual calendar. This is a watch which can be stored in the watch box without a winder.
Best, Kari

perhaps because Oliver and Magnus reported after 2011 Baselworld that this watch would belong to Micky Mouse corner. However, Blancpain is my first love when hight horology is concerned. And when I think about the brand, I still love there watches. But wh...
I always love Blancpain Villeret, but in RG...

I feel the face of Blancpain calendars are what a traditional watch supposed to look like...RG and Opaline dial is my soft spot. For this amount of complication and the price, it is a steal, don't think anyone can beat it. Congratulations to your "Add..ic...
Thanks Raymond,

We Finns are so modest that RG is pretty much. However, if this would be available in white gold, I would jump for that. At the same time this is an every day much and I like the understated look. I admit that the dial is quite busy but it is in the end v...
I'm a big fan of Mickey! :-)

Love the original Disneyland and it's history. Club 33 anyone? I like the ease of legibility as my aging eyes are making it harder and harder to read sub-dials compacted with too much information. And the price!? WOW! I've got to pay more attention to Mic...
Thanks Bob,

I have been quietly smiling the lack of comments. But on the other hand it's just natural. Anyhow, I'm very happy with my Mickey. Best, Kari
Looking forward to that and feel

that it's not soon enough. Before Hawaii we have several trips to London, at least one to Singapore and the standard Lapland stuff. Anyhow, it's just 20 degrees Centigrade now and let it still get a bit warmer. Best, Kari
Feeling guilty

I was enthusiastic about the BP forum for a little while after acquiring a lovely QP Lemans, but found most interest revolved around the FF. Are they on the same track as AP and the RO (hee hee, forgive the watchspeak)? Also a bit peeved that I can't seem...
I have very similar experience about the magazine.

I got it for a while and now it is gone again. Blancpain was my first love in the field of haute horology. I wasn't very impressed with FF but that L-Stuff pretty much killed my interest on Blancpain watches. However, I always found Villeret and Leman col...
its funny

i read your list and remembered my own before i bought this watch too - i thought about each point in the same way. i considered the rose gold model as the dial is amazing but in the end, i actually felt the steel was a more unusual watch given that most ...
Nice to see another Tim.

The serial number of mine is so small that in the Patek World everybody would be exited because of the rarity. Enjoy yours! Best, Kari

It's funny how unpopular this watch is even the "market value" is very attractive. Best, Kari
my hunch
By: tim_s : March 2nd, 2015-05:32
is the design is a bit polarizing. I read the article in the Le Brassus magazine about the development of the movement and BP said that its close to as complex as a perpetual calendar because of the under-lug corrector mechanism. i think its the best part...
