Blancpain Villeret 66228-3642-55B

Model #: 66228-3642-55b Blancpain Villeret Carrousel 42mm Mens Watch

Polished 18kt rose gold case. Silver dial with a "flinque" fine waved sunburst design texture. Applied polished rose gold stylized Roman Numeral hour markers. Elegant polished rose gold leaf shaped skeletonized hour & minute hands. Carrousel: Located at the 12 o'clock position & visible through an opening in the dial. Designed to counteract the effect of gravity on the balance-wheel & escapement, which will contribute to a more consistent accuracy from the watch. The Carrousel carriage makes a single full rotation once every minute thus doubling as a seconds indicator. The Carrousel consists of a platform on which the balance wheel & its bridge go round like a horse on a merry-go-round, hence the name "CARROUSEL". The Carrousel differs from the Tourbillon: the Tourbillon has its balance wheel & escapement mounted to a cage rather than a platform. Blancpain Caliber 228, composed of 209 components, contains 35 jewels & has an impressive power reserve of 120 hours. Comes in a finely detailed wood "humidor" box with inlay decorations.

The energy produced from the wound spring drives the movement functions. An automatic watch has a weighted rotor mounted on a pivot to the back of the movement, and the rotor is connect to the mainspring through a series of gears. The natural motion of the wearers wrist will cause the rotor to spin, which in turn will automatically wind the mainspring. Please note: An automatic winding watch which has completely wound-down or is at the end of its power reserve requires manual winding. Manually winding an automatic watch ensures that the watch is at full power-reserve when first worn, and as long as the watch is in motion thereafter it will remain fully wound, ensuring that when the watch is removed it will run the specificed power-reserve duration.
