The art of watchmaking is by no means an easy feat, much less one that can endure for centuries with any level of quality below outstanding. Celebrating 270 years since its conception by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain, Swiss luxury watch company Blancpain has released an extraordinary 8-piece, limited edition collectionâ??the Apotheosis Temporis. Each of the 8 watchesâ??namely Ultra Slim, Time Zone, Moon Phase Calendar, Perpetual Calendar with Correctors Hidden Under the Lugs, Single Push-Button Chronograph with Split-Seconds, Tourbillon, Equation Marchante Pure, and Minute Repeaterâ??is housed in a 38mm, 950 platinum case, capped with a glare-proof sapphire crystal front, with sapphire crystals at the back as well, and with a matte black dial, white gold roman-numeral hour-markers, and raised Blancpain engraving. The timepieces, each at $489,000, have their own defining attribute that makes each one distinct from the rest, but at the same time amalgamates it perfectly with the collection. Ultra Slim exhibits a thin, graceful façade at 9.2 mm. Time Zone has 254 operating parts and boasts a day/night display and dual time zone. Moon Phase Calendar has a stellar moon phase indicator at 6 oâ??clock, and the moon can be viewed through the arc-shaped dial aperture. No measure of time goes amiss with the Perpetual Calendar with Correctors Hidden Under the Lugs as it has the usual time, date, but also leap year and moon phase indicators. Single Push-Button Chronograph with Split-Seconds comes with a split-second button located at 6 oâ??clock. Tourbillon drives a flying tourbillon with a tourbillon carriage. The first of its kind, Equation Marchante Pure indicates both civil and solar time through two distinct minute hands. Lastly, the Minute Repeater provides auditory stimulation with two tiny hammers hitting the gong as the time ticks. The grand, masterful Apotheosis Temporis is truly a collection perfected with nothing less than countless years of impeccable, iconic watchmaking by Blancpain.
