DESCRIPTION

  • New L-evolution Collection - Innovative movements for exceptional watches

    Excellence is a tenacious habit. Blancpain is pursuing its successive introductions of innovative high-end movements with the new Calibres 13R5 and 66R9, derived from the 13R0, along with Calibre 5025, all now powering a set of exceptional watches. Such an unshakeable faith in the future deserved a new stellar collection, evocatively named L-evolution.

    The Blancpain philosophy could be aptly summed up in of Artistotle’s famous maxims: “ excellence is an art won by training and habituation ; it is therefore not an act, but a habit ”. After the two remarkable Calibres 13R0, 1315 and 225, two new movements are now enriching this exclusive series : Calibre 13R5 with date and power reserve; and Calibre 66R9 featuring a complete calendar with moon-phase display.

    These innovative movements, which are writing a new chapter in Blancpain’s rich watchmaking history, naturally needed to find a showcase worthy of their stature. Therefore, as the founding act of a reinvented future that begins today, the Manufacture in Le Brassus has chosen to create a new line of exceptional models, the L-evolution Collection. The Automatique 8 Jours, Moon Phase 8 Jours, Tourbillon GMT and Alarm GMT watches are thus taking up their appointed place within this new fine watchmaking sanctuary.

    A poem in the writing

    Blancpain is thus pursuing its well-established “ Tradition of Innovation ”. More than a mere habit, this is an abiding characteristic of the Manufacture in Le Brassus. Like the first four lines of a poem in the writing, the new models form the classic new L-evolution Collection. Comprising sporty, contemporary and perfectly streamlined cases with a revamped design and an imposing 43.5 mm diameter, this new collection is resolutely geared towards the future. While already encompassing four models available in 2009, its future undoubtedly holds in store a number of other beautiful and fascinating surprises.

    L-evolution Tourbillon GMT - Two major complications for the cosmopolitan man

    An acknowledged expert in complications, the Manufacture Blancpain is introducing an original alliance between a tourbillon and a GMT function within its brand-new L-evolution Collection. This Tourbillon GMT self-winding watch brilliantly combines horological expertise and a contemporary spirit. To underscore the dynamic sporting style of this new model, the dial is graced by sophisticated, elegant lines. It is issued in two 99-piece gold limited editions in red and white gold respectively.

    The Manufacture Blancpain is perpetuating the watchmaking tradition so as to reinvent it with each new creation. The L-evolution Tourbillon GMT self-winding model embodies this permanent process merging time-honoured know-how, innovation and creativity – all exercised in harmony with the brand’s fundamental guiding principles. This constancy has led the Manufacture in Le Brassus to develop the new Calibre 5025, associating – a first for Blancpain – today’s two most popular functions: a tourbillon and a dual time-zone display. Visually spectacular and technically complex, the Tourbillon sets a fascinating stage for the play of gear trains driving a movement. While its ability to compensate for the effects of gravity by spinning on its own axis is its primary quality, in doing so it powerfully symbolises the technical refinement inherent to any high-end horological construction. Meanwhile, the GMT function is a delight for travellers and for all those who juggle with time zones on a daily basis.

    A sporty, contemporary nature

    This dual function is powered by Blancpain’s new Calibre 5025. The technical and aesthetic qualities of this movement exemplify the expertise of the Manufacture in Le Brassus. Wound by an oscillating weight specially developed for this model endowed with an 8-day power reserve, Calibre 5025 features the characteristic high-end finishing of fine watch movements, including bevelled bridges and polished components.

    The contemporary and sporty nature of the L-evolution Tourbillon GMT model is expressed through its multi-level dial. This layered architecture provides an exterior sign of the inner technical quality of a truly exceptional timepiece. The centre provides a distinct view of the dial baseplate adorned with Côtes de Genève, while the oversized 3 and 6 o’clock numerals reinforce the sophisticated nature of the model. At 9 o’clock, the double hand of unequal lengths indicates the date on two separately graduated rings with staggered indications. The intriguing ballet of the flying tourbillon is entirely visible through a broad dial opening at 12 o’clock. Meanwhile, the dual time-zone indication is provided by a third central hand sweeping around a 24-hour display rimming the dial.

    Available in white or red gold, the compact, sporty-looking case is water-resistant to 100 metres and measures a generous 43.5 mm in diameter. The alligator leather strap is fitted with a tripleblade folding clasp. Each gold colour is available in a limited production run of 99.
