Our Thoughts:
Some of these complication watches by Blancpain is just easy on the eyes and its how a watch should be designed. Not over sized despite the functions and the watch being on an automatic movement, the slightly creamy dial adds another layer of vintage feel to the watch, for those who are looking for great craftsmanship and value, this is something that ticks all the boxes.
The introduced in the 1990s, the Leman collection is the company’s interpretation of how a modern classic should look like. The case design retains alot of the features from their history with a more modern dial configuration the watch is exactly what the 1990s was about, exploring new ideas and designs whilst sticking to the basics of watchmaking.
