Blancpain is not really famous for value retention;)))
Most of this type of watches(sadly), drop in price faster than Bill Clinton’s pants, so with little patience if someone’s really interested, it can be easy obtained. As for the brand, in my humble opinion, if not for the Fifty Fathoms, the padlock would b...
Actually a piece like this is about something totally different…
… this value retention topic is so boring and lame when talking about real artisanal work, tradition, innovative thinking and exceptional execution. Pieces like this are pure horological passion.
One can numb himself with this yesteryear slogan, and I’m with you, however the real world shows quite the opposite.
We all love this watches, but very few vote with their wallets! Let alone the sad fact that manufacturers managed to dilute the “Art, hand made” term so badly with the CNC’d production, that hardly anyone believes it…
It would not be inappropriate to call this a masterpiece🤩
Look at the handwork that must have gone into the movement. Till this point I was very impressed by the openwork Chopard had presented at Dubai watch week.
Chopard likely sounds better and
much more affordable (only when compared with this one, not by itself) and may look better aesthetically for some people. But BP is technically superior no doubt.
That level of finishing ....
Well we don't need ridiculously overpriced independents anymore to get that level of finishing. I would even say it looks better than XXXXXX (feel free to compare to whoever you want )
This piece seems pretty impressive and so is your
dedicated article on your blog! Thanks for sharing this with us. Emmanuel
