Blancpain Saint-Valentin 2012 watch

This limited series of 14 watches, each set with 2.95 carats of precious stones, offers a fresh take on the refined aesthetics of the Blancpain Women collection.

With its diamond-set bezel and lugs, caseband set with four diamonds and a heart-shaped ruby, crown adorned with a diamond and pushpieces covered with cabochon-cut rubies, the white gold case sparkles with dazzling splendour.
The watch with 18-carat gold 36 mm casing and mother-of-pearl dial is literally a visual stunner. The dial  features marquetry motif with eight diamond hour markers with its heart-shaped counterweight of its central sweep seconds hand is delicately hand-painted with a feather to create a distinctive convex shape.

The three white mother-of-pearl heart registers include the seconds shown on a subdial at 6 o’clock, the elapsed minutes at 3 o’clock and the elapsed hours at 9 o’clock. The date appears through an oval aperture at 12 o’clock.

The sapphire crystal case back reveals a self-winding Calibre F185 flyback chronograph movement. The crown is set with a diamond and the two pushers are set with cabochon-cut rubies. The first pusher at 2 o’clock starts and stops the chronograph, while the other pusher at 4 o’clock handles the flyback function.
The Saint-Valentin Chronograph comes fitted with a white exotic leather strap, and can be presented in a wooden box lined with white nappa leather.
