Blancpain Celebrates Summer By Putting Women In The Spotlight With Ladybird Colors
Blancpain unveiled its new Ladybird Colors timepieces in two new vibrant shades. The new coral blue shade evokes a radiant blue summer sky. The single-colour model brings a fresh, dynamic touch to the sunny season while the bold multicoloured numerals version is adorned with the exquisite face of Blancpain's instantly recognisable feminine moon phase.
The dials of these models showcase expert craftsmanship with their playful use of proportions and textures. The Roman numerals vary in size, with those prominently displayed at the top becoming more subtle toward the bottom, creating a gradual and aesthetically pleasing transition. Each numeral also undergoes a five-phase colouring process to achieve its deep, vibrant hues.
To counterbalance their subtle asymmetry, the feminine moon phase graces the dial at 6 o'clock, appearing to float on a textured mother-of-pearl setting, with unique luminosity, depth, and contrasts offered by this carefully selected material. Framed by a 34.90 mm 18-carat white gold case set with 59 diamonds, the dial is also brimming with 70 brilliant-cut diamonds hand-set in two circles, adding extra sparkle and captivating light. The gems adorning the crown and buckle bring the total carat weight to over 2 cts, resulting in a well-balanced timepiece with a warm, friendly face inviting the gaze to linger on its dainty features.
The leather straps of these new Ladybird Colors timepieces add an extra touch of pizzazz: while a bright blue version enlivens the strap with matching numerals, the timepiece with the multicoloured numerals is accompanied by a set of five interchangeable straps in several colours (pink, blue, green, yellow and white). These straps are fitted with a pin buckle or folding clasp enabling quick, easy, tool-free changes, adapting in the blink of an eye to the mood of the moment.
