To celebrate the leap year in 2024, Blancpain has released a new Villeret Quantième Perpétuel with an intense green dial - recakkubg the spruce forests of the Vallée de Joux, where the Perpetual Calendar mechanism is crafted by the watchmakers of the Grandes Complications workshop.

The complementing brown alligator leather strap evokes the bountiful generosity of this region that has fostered the development of watchmaking excellence over the decades.

Completing the picture, the Villeret collection's signature double-stepped case (40 mm) as well as the hands and hour-markers are in red gold, adding a contrasting touch to the pleasing aesthetic appeal of this timepiece glowing with warm colours.

Complex in its operation yet eminently easy to use, this new Villeret Quantième Perpétuel

combining a green dial with a red gold case thus gives pride of place to the distinctive nature of 2024 as a leap year
