When the two places is an uncomplicated but very useful function, whether it is using the homemade movement of the brand or the core of the brand, both watches are essential for their product line style. Generally, the two timepieces usually indicate the second time zone by adding a pointer, which is also intuitive and easy to read. However, the simple design based on the time-riding gear system inevitably leads to a functional imperfection. There are mainly two imperfections in the two timepieces of the two places. One is that the second time zone pointer can only be adjusted in units of one hour. For areas like New Delhi and Kabul, which use half-time zones (with a half difference from the neighboring time zones An hour) is not applicable; another problem is that when the two places in general when the watch has to adjust the date has to move around the hour hand, until the correct date, the adjustment is too much trouble. In response to the above issues, Blancpain launched the Villeret half-time zone watch, this series of watches designed two meticulous and meticulous function, intimate and convenient to use than the traditional watch when the two places.
Blancpain Villeret half-time zone watches mainly include 3 kinds of styles, stainless steel case 3 days power of 6660, 6665 three-day power of precious metal case and precious metal case enamel dial 6661 8 days, although the three styles in power, material , The size difference, but the function is the same. Blancpain Villeret half-time zone watch features that you can press the crown on the button to switch the adjustment mode, and the gear display in the dial 4:30 position fan sector. When the pointer refers to the D (Date) position, we pull the crown to a block can be adjusted forward or backward the watch date, the crown pulled the second gear can be adjusted when the current time. If you need to adjust the time zone, just press the crown button to D block to T block (Time). In the T block, the crown pulled in a block can be adjusted by half an hour unit time, so to meet the needs of New Delhi, Kabul and other regions, and pull the crown to the second gear, you can make 12 o'clock Small dial on the home time and the current time synchronization adjustment. This shows that this watch not only solved the general two places when the watch can not quickly adjust the date of the problem, and all tuning functions can be completed by a crown, we can see the clever design.
Blancpain Villeret watch half-time movement structure than the traditional watch when the two places more complex, in order to be the date of the transfer time and half-time zone adjustment together, Blancpain watchmaker chronograph column wheel applied to This watch, with cylindrical wheel as two gears (D block and T block) switching device, can be described as the stone can attack the jade mountain. When I was operating, I also felt the buttons were smooth and comfortable, and the feeling was very good. It can be seen that the columnar wheel played an important role in the gear shift. At the same time, at about 10:30 to 2:00 pm, this watch will also enter the protection mode, the date of the gear can only be idling, to prevent the wearer during this time adjusting the watch date, thus damaging the watch.
Overall design, this Blancpain watch lasted the classic Villeret series of elements, unique willow-shaped pointer and descent dial is its recognition characteristics. Both enamel plate or flame decorative plate are exquisite workmanship, in addition, the watch pointer, time scale, automatic Tuo are made of gold, which is consistent with Blancpain watches.
