1990s Blancpain Villeret Yellow Mother of Pearl Dial Model: ChronomatWorth A Read History and Significance By the late 1980s and early 1990s, Blancpain had positioned itself very differently from much of the Swiss watch industry. While many brands were chasing sportier designs and quartz production, Blancpain leaned heavily into classical watchmaking with restrained case designs, traditional dial layouts, and an emphasis on mechanical movements. The Villeret collection became the clearest expression of that philosophy.
