It is with the Villeret collection that Blancpain has chosen to kick off 2020. The duo that has just been announced include the Quantième Complet and the Ultraplate.

Some amongst us will, of course, point out their disapproval of the date window. But consider this three-hander a daily wearer and, therein, where you might benefit from having the date right there on your wrist.
Again, doubling up on this idea of the watch being a daily wearer is that it is powered by the self-winding calibre 1151, which has two series-coupled barrels that give it 4 days of power reserve.

The movement powering the watch is the self-winding calibre 6654, which thoughtfully has a safety system that enables the wearer to adjust the time and calendar display at any point in time without fear of adversely affecting the mechanism within.
A further innovation contained in the Villeret Quantième Complet is the calendar and moon phase correctors incorporated on the underside of watch lugs.
