The Blancpain Villeret Squelette 8 Jours, reference 6633-1500-55B, is a masterpiece of skeletonized watchmaking housed in a 38 mm white gold case. This watch is designed to reveal the inner workings of its mechanical movement through an openworked dial and transparent case back, allowing a full view of the meticulously hand-finished components. At its core is the manual-winding Caliber 1333SQ, which delivers an impressive eight-day power reserve. The movement is fully skeletonized with bridges and plates carefully carved out and decorated by hand, highlighting Blancpain’s dedication to traditional craftsmanship. The balance spring is made of silicon, enhancing precision and reliability. Instead of a traditional dial, the watch showcases its mechanical heart, with black leaf-shaped hands that stand out clearly against the openwork backdrop. The watch’s slim profile, at about 9 mm thick, combined with sapphire crystals on both front and back, ensures both elegance and transparency. The Villeret Squelette 8 Jours is finished with a black alligator leather strap and a folding clasp, complementing its refined aesthetic. Its water resistance is rated at 30 meters, making it suitable for everyday wear while emphasizing its status as a sophisticated dress watch. This timepiece beautifully combines technical prowess with artistic expression, offering a captivating view into the mechanics that drive it.
