Blancpain Villeret Tourbillon 0023 a young timer ?
Good morning ! I am a big fan of Blancpain and own several of them... I just hesitate about purchasing this "Young timer" Blancpain Tourbillon. It made me dream when I was 20 years old but know even it is still a beautiful piece, it is quite small (33mm) ...
Hello
It seems your dream has a little bit faded and I understand your thoughts about its case size. At one time, I was tempted by this lovely Blancpain with its Tourbillon and its really cool 8 days power reserve. But, when I calmed down, I thought to its size...
Clever thoughts
Yes its size is really small even if I have a small wrist... In fact I have the opportunity to trade this tourbillon with my L&S Saxomat + 7800 €. Good deal I think... The 2125 is nice but not in the same league (about the $$$$). Beside this I think the t...
We can't talk about prices here (forum rules) so I won't comment your possible trade
The only element I can add is that if you really love this Blancpain and if your heart beats faster when you see it, well... go for it 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
No worries 😉
Well, keep us aware about your choice. I have to confess that I really would like to try this Blancpain 😊 HAGWE Best wishes Alkiro
I think the BP tourbillon is just exquisite, but IMO the size would now be a challenge for me - which is a shame and it may well change again within our generation. I have certainly moved
from 45mm to 42mm and now to 38-39 mm over the years, but I think that is my sweet spot now..
Please do it!!
Blancpain at its best....unbelievable timepiece...great work in collaboration with Calabrese...only 7.8mm thickness, 8 days power reserve...I can't really think anything better than this work of art!! I'd do it with no hesitation whatsoever....all the bes...
Not bothered by size at all
But I'm a vintage fan, when small was sophisticated and discrete, like this tourbillon BP...I love ❤️ it!
Thanks ! I will go for it so just need to find out the perfect piece, not too expensive and with B&P !
And you are right about " when small was sophisticated and discrete"
This is a lovely looking watch!
I actually bought one in 1996 but much to my dissatisfaction, it kept really bad time ie a daily tolerance in excess of ten seconds a day. In fact, most Blancpains from the 90s (pre Swatch group ownership) did not keep good time despite its long and illus...
