Blancpain Saint – Valentin 2013 Timepiece for Valentine’s Day
In keeping with its annual tradition, Blancpain creates a new limited edition ladies timepiece for Valentine’s Day. This year’s love token features a marquetry of hearts. The white mother-of-pearl dial is decorated with five red-lacquered mother-of-pearl marquetry hearts. The heart motif continues onto the case band, rotor and strap lining.
The 34 mm steel case features a bezel set with two rows of full-cut diamonds. The case middle is adorned at 9 o’clock with five liquid ceramic hearts. This technique calls for meticulous application of the liquid matter prior to a firing process that solidifies it. This three-hand timepiece is equipped with the self-winding Calibre 1150. A seamless white ostrich leather strap featuring an alzavel lining decorated with more dainty hearts.
The Ultraplate Saint-Valentin 2013 is issued in a 99-piece limited edition, delivered in a white wooden presentation box encrusted with white hearts evoking the dial design.
