Blancpain Movement 13RO

http://www.victorinoxblog.com/

Blancpain is a Swiss watch manufacturer, founded in 1735 by Jehan-Jaques Blancpain. Blancpain is currently owned by the Swatch Group. Nick Hayek, the son of Swatch Group's founder and chairman, Nicolas Hayek, is running Blancpain. Many watch collectors regard Blancpain timepieces as among the best in the world.

Blancpain started making watches in 1735 in Villeret, Switzerland. According to their commercial slogans, the company has never produced quartz watches in the past and has stated in its advertisements that it never will, nor have they ever produced watches with digital displays.

Blancpain is also famous for being the creator of one of the most complicated mechanical watches ever made, the Blancpain 1735, which is a true grand complication (Tourbillon, minute repeater, perpetual calendar, split chrono), a limited edition of 30 pieces only, production of just one piece per year.

Blancpain is also well-known for its Fifty-Fathoms watch, selected by the United States Navy and worn by Jacques-Yves Cousteau in his award winning film. In 1984, Blancpain launched the world's smallest movement, followed shortly thereafter in 1989 by the launch of the world's thinnest movement.

@nafativedec 2 )To speak frankly, Rolex is known for it is the first to use that screw-in for protection against water. But, in the modern day, every watch are the same, they also manufactured this case against water. Rolex watch is not so great when compare with watch such as Borel, Titoni, Seiko and citizen even the China made watches. It is fake but workable is OK.

@nafativedec Hello, it is just a plain watch with date without week, month and years. I got one replica watch. I need to adjust the month and year. with week and date of month, we call it dd watch. But modern electronic watch is not so good as the old mechanical watch, we can look in when the cover is transparent.

I have one question though. How does this colck deal with days in months. I mean how does it just trough 29, 30, 31 in February and other months.
