Saint-Valentin 2009

At Blancpain, the annual lovers’ day is a celebration. The 2009 edition is a special treat for women with a taste for sporty-looking watches: an exclusive edition of 99 Flyback Chronographs, a timeless gift beating to the rhythm of hearts, combining a daring design with the elegance of
mother-of-pearl and rubies. The prestigious movement counting off the hours of love is the famous Calibre F185, which powered the world’s very first ladies’ flyback chronograph in 1998. The 34 mm case is happily wed to a white mother-of-pearl dial with a precious ruby heart. The Arabic hour-markers and hollowed cone-shaped hands provide an exquisite counterfoil for the traditional colour of passion, reflected by rubies and the symbolic date of the 14th – the only one appearing in crimson red. Through the sapphire crystal caseback, one can admire the
meticulous finishing and hand-crafted decoration.
Issued in a limited edition of 99, it is fitted with a
hand-sewn white alligator leather strap.
