Blancpain Villeret Carrousel Volant Une Minute

Blancpain's Villeret Carrousel Volant Une Minute, reference 66228 3442 55B, comes in a 40 mm platinum case. The case measures 11.8 mm thick, with lugs set 22 mm apart. A sapphire crystal covers the opaline dial. Inside is the self-winding calibre 228, a flying one-minute carrousel with a power reserve of 120 hours, notably long for the complication. The carrousel cage can be watched turning through the dial, a mechanical display in its own right rather than a mere indication. Blancpain fits the watch to an alligator leather strap with a folding clasp. Water resistance is modest at 30 metres, in keeping with a dress watch of this kind.
