The Blancpain Villeret Squelette 8 Jours is praised for its meticulous craftsmanship, openworked movement, and elegant 38mm white gold case. Owners appreciate the clean monopoussier and underlug design, along with a balanced dial. The movement offers a 192-hour power reserve and hand-finishing, justifying its CHF 63,800 price. One owner notes the buckle pin can pop out due to the lack of a locking deployment clasp.
