The 2017 Blancpain St. Valentine’s Day Special Edition.

When it comes to fine watches, it sometimes seems like every day is Father’s Day. No need to create a special watch to celebrate men, since most mechanical timepieces are already geared to male aficionados. Blancpain, however, thoughtfully singles out women once a year for a special-edition watch designed to be gifted to a woman on St. Valentine’s Day. Blancpain, the maker of such tough-guy timepieces as the Fifty Fathoms and sophisticated complications like the Tourbillon Carrousel, has been making ladies watches since 1930, and lays claim to having made the first automatic watch for ladies.

I recall loving the original crop of Bathyscaphes back in 2013, and this grim model is a much stronger fit for my tastes while also being a very unrealistic request of my wallet. The ceramic case guarantees top billing from the three-hand Bathyscaphe pecking order, and indeed the blue Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe asserts a neat $12,800 USD, mounted to the pictured high quality blue NATO or Blancpain’s honestly excellent sail canvas two-piece strap. After the example set by the Ocean Commitment Chronograph, the blue Bathyscaphe supplies a similar charm in a more simplified layout that’s certainly eye-catching and should look even better underwater. Should you happen to choose 1 diving, I’d love to see the photos.

In addition to making ultra-slim movements for women, the company also makes a Quantième Retrograde with retrograde date and a Complete Calendar with moon phase. The movements used for the Blancpain St. Valentine’s Day watches are all mechanical – Blancpain has never made a quartz movement – most designed specifically for ladies’ watches. Since the Blancpain St. Valentine’s Day Blancpain Watches Tourbillon Replica was first introduced in 2001, it has been powered by several different movements, most with center seconds hands, which is rare on a ladies’ mechanical timepiece. The calibers used in the past Blancpain St. Valentine’s Day watches include the ultra-thin automatic Caliber 1150 with 100-hour power reserve; Caliber 6763 automatic day-date, with pointer-type date display; Caliber F185, a flyback chronograph, originally used by the brand in 1998 to power the world’s first ladies’ flyback chronograph; the “Lady Bird” Caliber 6150, which at the time it was introduced (in the 1950s) was the world’s smallest automatic movement (15.7mm diameter).

At first glance, Blancpain has hardly touched the simple design in the 30-odd years since its debut. The stepped case design is a staple by now (and here is hoping Blancpain never changes that). It’s seriously one of my favorite things about this particular watch. However, little things, like the place of the date and month, and the size of the moon, have shifted. However, the biggest change has been the slow but continuous size increase of this instance (in both diameter and height). The Complete Calendar simply isn’t as lean as its formerly was. In fact, it’s definitely not ultra-thin, but more on this later.Blancpain informs us that the opinion received its first upgrade in the early 1990s, when Blancpain switched to the F. Piguet Caliber 1150 as a fresh base, with two brand new plates (numbers 65 and 67). The first switched the order of the month and day exhibits, while the second shifted the moon’s place on the dial, hence enabling the seconds to be indicated in six o’clock co-axially together with the moon screen. Reference 6654 is still powered by the exact same base motion, Caliber 1150, but it introduces yet another new plate (no. 66), which increases both the thickness (5.32mm) and diameter (32mm) of the movement. On the dial, the biggest update is the move of the minutes hand into the center, and the yield of a wide moonphase at half an hour. The benefit there is that you get a bigger moonphase and a better view of its discernibly joyous face. It is a complication with some severe charm.

The 2004 version of the Blancpain St. Valentine’s Day Special Edition.

The Blancpain St. Valentine’s Day Blancpain Watches Vintage Replica has been a tradition since 2001 and usually includes a heart motif placed artfully somewhere on the watch. This year, it is formed by a cluster of 19 rubies set into the dial at 12 o’clock. The rubies are buff-top cut, a mixed cut that typically has a smooth upper half and a faceted pavilion, a combination that creates light return even when a gem is set flush into metal – particularly when it is set into a thin layer of metal, such as a watch dial, where no light penetrates the pavilion. The heart has had several interesting incarnations on the special editions. In the 2007 piece, the inner mother-of-pearl dial was heart-shaped. In 2009 the small seconds subdial was outlined by rubies set to form a heart shape. On the 2011 version, a heart-shaped ruby was set discreetly at 12 o’clock flush with the diamonds on the bezel. The dial of the 2013 edition featured five red-lacquered mother-of-pearl hearts, with the hearts repeated on the rotor and case side. A heart charm dangles from the strap of the 2016 edition.

The 2017 version of the Blancpain St. Valentine’s Day Special Edition.

The 2017 Blancpain St. Valentine’s Day edition is a great, robust everyday watch, with a steel case, 50-meter water resistance, and an automatic movement, the ultra-slim Caliber 913. It has a glucydur balance wheel fitted with micrometric regulating screws, and a balance spring made of silicon, the low density of which makes it particularly light and shock-resistant. Silicon is also anti-magnetic. The gold rotor is given a snailed bevel and polished angles, as well as straight and circular Côtes de Genève patterns. The Blancpain logo is red to match the ruby heart on the dial. It comes with two interchangeable alligator leather straps, one in red and the other in white. Like all Blancpain St. Valentine’s Day watches, it is a limited edition, this one engraved and numbered from one to 99. The seconds hand is shaped like a Cupid’s arrow, with a red tip. Otherwise, the dial is set only with diamond markers and three Roman numerals in the collection’s signature font. The 29mm case’s bezel and lugs are set with 68 diamonds. It is priced at $14,900. blancpain.com
