Beating away inside these Ultraplates is the Blancpain Manufacture Caliber 1150 (originally known as the F. Piguet 1150), an incredibly thin movement at 3.25mm in height with an automatic rotor that gives the caliber an impressive 100-hour power reserve. A silicon hairspring offers a touch of modernity to the movement.
The three new Villeret Ultraplate models in stainless steel are priced at $12,700, and the red gold variant is priced at $26,100.
