Blancpain Villeret Squelette 8 Jours

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. Some commenters feel the Blancpain Villeret Complete Calendar wears large and prefer smaller case sizes, with one suggesting an alternative offers better value. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Blancpain Villeret Squelette 8 Jours highly for its superb skeletonization and meticulous craftsmanship.
