In the Villeret Tourbillon Volant Heure Sautante Minute Rétrograde, Blancpain has associated the flying tourbillon (further emphasised by a lower bridge replaced with a sapphire crystal disc) with two other complications of excellence as well as of great impact. The jumping hours and retrograde minutes, both housed in the lower part of a grand feu enamel dial crafted according to the traditional champlevé method and further elevated by diamond gold raised lugs emphasising the tourbillon cage and the round hour window. A remarkable result of the work of the Métiers d'Art du Brassus workshops, as is the hand-wound movement with hand-engraved bridges and 144-hour power reserve housed in a 42 mm red gold case with a double pomme bezel. Also available in platinum, in a limited series of 20. Price: 141,000 euros.
