For almost four decades, the Complete Calendar - or Quantième Complet in French - has been one of the signature complications characterizing Blancpain's timepieces.
In 2020, the brand founded in Villeret in 1735 (your can read its history here) is reinterpreting its 38 mm Quantième Complet with moon phases.
Housed in a 38 mm round case in stainless steel or in red gold with a double-stepped bezel and a sleek profile, the new Villeret Quantième Complet 6264 reference 6264 is powered by the self-winding 6763 caliber, a manufacture movement equipped with a silicon balance-spring that offers four days of power reserve.
The new model is available in stainless steel with a white dial and in red gold with an opaline dial. The dials feature subtly reworked slender hour-markers in gold and cut-out sage leaf-shaped hands matching the case colour. The moon phase has also been redesigned.
The two apertures at 12 o'clock display the day of the week and the month, while the date is indicated by a blued steel serpentine hand, in line with an 18th century watchmaking tradition calling for the secondary information of a watch to be provided by a characteristically shaped hand.
To adjust the calendar indications, discreet lateral correctors are integrated into the case middle band.
The quality finishes of the movement are revealed through the sapphire crystal case-back.
Each timepiece is also available in a gem-set version. Additionally, Blancpain offers a choice for each model between an alligator strap and a Mille Mailles bracelet made from over 500 hand-assembled individual components.
