The famous Swiss watchmaker, Blancpain, presents the one-of-a-kind ladies’ timepiece specially created for the Only Watch 2013 charity auction. This exquisite novelty will travel the world before going under the hammer in Monaco, on September 28.

The cities and the dates are: Singapore (September 6-7 – The Hour Glass), New York (September 16-17 – Antiquorum), Hong Kong (September 9-10 – Antiquorum), Geneva (September 23-24 – Antiquorum) and Shanghai (September 12-13 – City Plaza).

Although the official press release for this unique watch is quite brief, I will share with you some basic information. This delightfully feminine watch boasts mother-of-pearl marquetry, diamonds and engraving. On its dial, a white mother-of-pearl dove flies across a blue mother-of-pearl sky.

Instead of hour markers, Blancpain inserted 12 diamonds which radiate a feminine aura of elegance. The total weight of these diamonds is 0.9 carats. The dial also features the brand’s logo which is situated at the 9 o’clock position. The hour and minute hands are skeletonized to provide an unobstructed view on a beautiful dial.

The Blancpain Dove is housed in a feminine case crafted from 18-karat white gold. The round case measures 34mm in diameter and 9.4mm in thickness. The case incorporates a gorgeous bezel encrusted with two rows of sparkling white diamonds weighing 0.7 carats in all. Further, the case is constructed to provide water resistance of up to 30 meters (about 100 feet).

This exceptional novelty is powered by a manufacturing automatic caliber Blancpain 1153 that provides no less than 100 hours of power reserve when fully charged. The self-winding mechanism is compiled on the 28 jewels, has the frequency of 21,600 oscillations per hour (3 Hz) and functions of hours, minutes and seconds. It consists of 186 components.

I must say that the movement is perfectly trimmed and encrusted in the spirit of haute horlogerie. The most beautiful part of the mechanism – the entirely hand-decorated oscillating weight bearing a dove engraving and the inscription ONLY WATCH 2013 – is fully shown via the transparent case back.

The Blancpain’s timepiece for Only Watch 2013 comes with the referent number 3300-3554L-55B. It is attached to a white alligator leather strap, ending with a folding clasp.
