8 timepieces to usher in the year of the rat

SINGAPORE (Jan 17): Blancpain
The watch maison taps on its expertise at its Métiers d’Art workshop to create its very first porcelain dial that also showcases the art of enamel painting. This special edition, of only eight pieces, features a rat that is painted freehand and then fired to fix the colours on to the porcelain. The watch has a 33m diameter white gold case featuring a bezel set with 48 brilliant-cut diamonds. This timepiece gets its heartbeat from the 1154 automatic movement that you can admire through the sapphire caseback.
