The short answer

The closest alternative to the Blancpain Villeret Squelette 8 Jours is the Patek Philippe Calatrava 5088 ($120,074) — common cross-shop and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Tourbillon covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the F.P.Journe FFC is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Omega De Ville Tourbillon Co Axial Master Chronometer 43mm ($237,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
