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 why did I buy this watch:
1. I love the idea of complete calendar and chronograph.
2. Even more I like the single pusher chronograph.
3. I think it's cool that the watch can be adjusted at any time of the day without damages.
4. The under lug correctors are very clever.
5. The watch is just of the right size; 40 mm.
6. Taking into account the complications and 450 parts, the watch is less than 13 mm thick.
7. The winding and chronograph are very very smooth.
8. The calendar is more readable than i.e. my Patek 5140.
9. The movement is very nicely finished and the folding clasp is well made and innovative.
10. I bought the watch brand new, with all stickers, all papers stamped by AD and I paid for this package €10k! (The watch was one week late and the seller returned with the fully insured package €200 as apologies.
So what do you say about this Micky Mouse?
Nice weekend to everybody!
