Corrigendum...
MTF, is it possible that the Leroy in the OP is not the new Chronometre Observatoire, but (rather) the Chronometre à Tourbillon? There be a few CHF swinging on the answer... Whilst the keyboard is out, please accept gratitude and congratulations on your u...
Corrigendum....
...worldly, worthy..........what a nice word;) Cheers my friend Francois
Tourbillion Chronometre but the Observertory unconfirmed
Depends on final decision if it goes for tests ... I'm applying pressure ;) Its so pretty, does it matter? Regards MTF
Thank you MTF.....
The Leroy Chronometre Observatoire looks stunning although it is only a prototype and the Blancpain Metier D'arts is very nice indeed especially the first one "sphinx". It is extremely appealing, a least to me. Cheers Francois
A Winged Lion.....

Nicely executed indeed....
Salman. I find it fantastic the way they (the artists) have succeeded in "showing" two heads, depending on how one looks at, it's a ram, look again, it's a lion! Very nice. Cheers Francois
Many "Gods" depicted by Blancpain including....
Indian GANESH Sumerian Persian Akkadian SHEDU Multiple claims for TREE OF LIFE etc etc Regards, MTF
I was there in the mid-'60s . . .
. . . while on a field trip with my classmates. French archaeologist Roman Ghirshman was present, and gave us a brief lecture on the history of the site. Art
So Cool....
I wish I am as lucky as you and get to see them in person, did you enjoy your trip? S
Hard to remember after fifty or so years . . .
. . . but yeah, even then, I knew that was a special moment, to be savored forever. I do recall learning on that trip that one should never pack Pepsi in a thermos. :-)
Never heard of LEROY Before.
Thanks for sharing that LEROY watch MTF! First time I've heard of the company. Big fan of chain and fusee endowed watches.
Blancpain so wrong and so right
Sorry, but the L-evolution just doesn't represent a watch expected from Blancpain. - Ok, the heart is purely Blancpain. So the casing is some 45deg twisted Panerai or Monaco? - No, it's completely Blancpain. Great. I like its look and the package with the...
I was strangely attracted to the double whirly Blancpain
That's why it made my "Interesting" list. Tourbillon AND Caroussel. Funky case and materials. Regards MTF
Carrousel
I read somewhere that there were thoughts of abandoning the carrousel, because of its lacking popularity compared to the tourbillon. Anyway, I am pleased to see that this complication found its way into a latest release again. Let's keep the carrousel a v...
One of the more interesting ladies' watches...
...of recent years IMO. Thanks for the live pix! Daos
Blancpain are going to cater more for ladies complications
That sounds a bit like a statement from an OB/GYN specialist, but seriously, Blancpain are bringing in future, more complicated mechanical watches fro ladies that are not issued in gents' versions....... It may be a market-led trend?!? Regards, MTF ...
