Villeret Tourbillon Carrousel

A flying carrousel is a complex watch mechanism that counters gravity’s effect on timekeeping. Unlike a tourbillon, it uses two gear trains—one for the escapement and one for carriage rotation. "Flying" refers to the lack of an upper bridge, giving it a floating look.

A secured movement is a watchmaking innovation designed to protect delicate mechanisms and ensure lasting precision. By preventing accidental damage when setting the watch, it enhances reliability over time. At Blancpain, secured movements are a hallmark of our craftsmanship.

A calendar complication uses a dedicated hand to point to the date, arranged around the dial’s edge. This peripheral scale, typically numbered 1–31, offers quick readability. It adds a classic, elegant touch to traditional timepieces.

A power-reserve indicator is a practical watch complication that displays the remaining energy stored in a mechanical movement. It lets the wearer know how long the watch will run before needing to be wound. Valued for its convenience, this feature enhances both manual and automatic timepieces with functional elegance.

A flying tourbillon is a sophisticated watch mechanism that counters gravity’s effect on accuracy. Unlike traditional tourbillons, it lacks an upper bridge, creating a "floating" illusion. Supported from one side, it highlights the watchmaker’s precision and offers a mesmerizing view in motion.
