So much more than the Fifty Fathoms
When people think of Blancpain these days, it's so often about the Fifty Fathoms. And I'm sure it's a great watch (albeit a bit too shiny for my personal taste). But to me, the reason I've been interested in Blancpain was always for their more classical designs. You can still find them these days on the Villeret line, but to me, the star and "what made Blancpain Blancpain" was and still is the now discontinued Léman line.
For me, it represents classical haute horlogerie that you can wear every day, and I love that about it. Between the Aqua Lung, the flyback chrono, the dual time and the complete calendar, they're all such amazing watches. Honestly, I'd love to own more than one of them someday. Mine is the dual time in 40mm with a sunburst black dial. I like having the pretty day/night indicator without the hassle of setting a full calendar and I personally love how the numerals and hands are done on this watch. Almost gives it a sort field-watch vibe.
