Blancpain, often hailed as the ‘Conscience of Watchmaking,’ caused quite a stir in the industry with the release of its first erotic watch in 1993. It was a unique masterpiece in horological history, renowned for its artistic flair.
You might think the images are quite daring! But understanding the context of the late 17th century—where British nobility pursued enlightenment, freedom, happiness, and the essence of humanity—reveals that these pieces of art are far from mere vulgarity. Erotic watches showcase animated figures, usually hidden behind the watch face, offering the owner a private ‘performance’ and allowing them to stand out among their peers.
Now, the classic creation makes a grand entrance with a specially crafted Shanghai movement, a 40mm diameter, and an easy, comfortable original buckle clasp. The perfect casing discreetly conceals unknown secrets. Are you excited to discover more?
