    Since its founding in 1735, Blancpain has been putting


    industry-leading spins, so to speak, on fine timepieces, so it comes as no surprise that the
    venerable Swiss company is back with yet another ground-breaking achievement in the
    artistry of grand watch-making: the Carrousel Répétition Minutes Le Brassus.
    Combining a flying one-minute carrousel and a cathedral gong repeater, the
    Carrousel Répétition Minutes Le Brassus is the first of its kind, taking the
    technologically advanced carrousel (French for “merry-go-round”) to
    even greater heights of innovation. While some might understand the
    complicated mechanical difference between a tourbillon movement
    and a carrousel, essentially it comes down to the spinning of minute
    and intricate gears and flying wheels.With the Carrousel Répétition
    Minutes Le Brassus, Blancpain has created a watch with a special
    flying regulator for the minute repeater complication that spins
    on its own axis, a movement the company pioneered a couple
    of years ago. This time, however, it has been combined with a
    cathedral-gong-striking mechanism so the sounding rings are
    much longer and much fuller, circling the movement one and
    a half times, and resulting in a rich, extended tone.
    With the addition of the cathedral gong rings to the inside
    of the case, the Carrousel Répétition Minutes Le Brassus rings
    with an unsurpassed volume and clarity, a feature that will doubt-
    lessly excite true Swiss watchmaking aficionados who will embrace
    this handsome timepiece, notwithstanding its relative affordability at
    about $360,000.

    One of the more


    more telltale differences between
    the standard tourbillon (French for
    “whirlwind”) movement and the new
    carrousel movement on the Carrousel
    Répétition Minutes Le Brassus is how
    less delicate its inner workings appear. In
    truth, the carrousel mechanism and assembly
    are intentionally sturdier and ultimately more
    masculine than those of its first cousin.
    Apart from the complicated movements found
    within, the Carrousel Répétition Minutes Le Brassus
    has other impressive virtues that befit such a spectacular
    and handsome timepiece. To wit: the red gold movement
    bridges and main plate are individually hand-engraved. The
    45mm red gold case features a brushed white gold chapter ring
    and red gold applied numerals. Further, the watch’s combination of an
    opened dial center and sapphire caseback “window” provides its owner
    with a perfect view of the minute repeater mechanism and hand-carved
    movement bridges.
    Other aesthetic features of the Blancpain Carrousel Répétition Minutes Le
    Brassus, include an 18-karat brushed white gold dial ring, easy to read
    bone-like Roman numeral hour markers and a brown genuine crocodile
    strap. The manually wound movement also has a small power reserve
    (60 hours) indicator function. Limited to just 10 pieces, the
    timepiece was introduced at this year’s Baselworld.
    Easily one of the most beautiful skeleton watches
    Blancpain has ever produced, the Carrousel Répétition
    Minutes Le Brassus will make onlookers turn on their
    heels for a second look, an altogether fitting response
    given this new spin on style.
