Blancpain - 2016, year of the Ladybird
Blancpain displays its attachment to feminine watches more vividly than ever by launching a 60-piece limited edition marking the 60 th birthday of the #ladybird. At the time of its launch in 1956, the #ladybird was equipped with the smallest round movement on the market. This was a period when dainty sizes were all the rage, and the #blancpain master-watchmakers had demonstrated amazing ingenuity in successfully miniaturising the components of a mechanical watch: an authentic technical feat.
2016 is the year this model turns 60. To mark the occasion, the brand has dreamed up several versions of the #ladybird, starting with the romantic Saint Valentine’s Day model was in February. The Baselworld display windows will be hosting a new interpretation by the artisans of the Manufacture, featuring a dial graced with luminous contrasts and displaying an elaborate foliage motif.
The strap of the #ladybird is exclusively crafted from the small scales of Louisiana crocodile leather, thus creating a particularly refined aesthetic effect. For the 60 th birthday of the #ladybird, the watch is issued in a 60-piece limited edition. Its bezel is set with 32 diamonds. Adorned with eight of these sparkling gems, the dial is swept over by drop-shaped hands framed by a 21.50 mm-diameter white gold case that houses a self-winding movement with a silicon balance spring.
