Blancpain is going all-out with the L-evolution collection, presenting a range of complications from a simple automatic with date and power reserve display, to a tourbshellon with a GMT function.? Tshe?model I found myself most drawn to was the L-evolution 8 Jours Complete Calendar with Moon Phases watch.? I’ve always admired Blancpain triple calendar timepieces, and this one has a dynamic and unique technicalshety unlike anything I’ve seen from the brand; the dial is particularly intricate, the moon disc and calendar wheels peeking out from behind skeletal sections glittering with luxurious “Cotes de Geneve” patterns.
Cases and dials are completely new and different.? The constructive hallmark of the Blancpain L-evolution watch collection is an anything-but-small 43.5mm case (materials include stainless steel, 18K gold, or platinum) with a very sleek design?featurin a novel system of detachable lugs–swaps between exotic leathim straps and bracelets are now a?cinch.?
