Feel the Love with Blancpain Saint Valentin 2010

Although the year has just begun, I am always eager to present the Valentine Watches. For Valentine 2010 Blancpain plans to unveil the Saint Valentin 2010. The watch is shaped in a unique infinite symbol. The shape of the watch is a first for Blancpain, a company who usually opts for the more traditional case shapes. Over 500 diamonds and pink sapphires pave the bezel which frames a delicate mother-of-pearl dial. The 12 'o'clock marker is exquisitely cut heart shaped diamond.

The elegance of this watch is in the movement too. Blancpain is reintroducing the worlds smallest self-winding movement, Its "Lady Bird" Calibre 615 with a forty hour power reserve. The movement will be visible via a Sapphire Crystal case back.
The Saint Valentin 2010 timepiece is presented with two satin straps, one in black and the other white.

The inset is a lovely water color depiction of the watch, which will be available in a limited addition of 14.
