Blancpain Ladybird Tribute Marilyn Watch

To commemorate the centenary of American actress Marilyn Monroe’s birth, Blancpain has launched the Ladybird Tribute Marilyn. Inspired by a vintage Blancpain ladies' watch from the 1940s that Monroe once owned, this new timepiece faithfully reproduces the classic Art Deco case silhouette and symmetrical diamond setting; it is powered by a rectangular manual-winding movement contoured to fit the case, resulting in a design of exquisite elegance and glamour.

The case is crafted from 18K white gold, measuring 35mm x 16mm with a thickness of just 6.5mm; the sides feature a mirror-polished finish, while the front and central lugs are symmetrically set with a total of 85 brilliant-cut diamonds (weighing 1.36 carats), accented by a marquise-cut diamond at both the 12 and 6 o'clock positions.

The ivory-colored dial boasts a refined texture and showcases classic vintage elements such as sword-shaped hands, serif Arabic numeral hour markers, and a railway-style minute track; the Blancpain logo, positioned below the 11 and 1 o'clock markers, is a detail faithfully reproduced from the original model.

It is powered by the Caliber 510 manual-winding movement, operating at a frequency of 21,600 vph with a 52-hour power reserve. The watch comes with a double-wrap calfskin strap available in seven distinct colors—"Peach Bud," "High Risk Red," "Black Beauty," "Star White," "Hot Pink," "Golden Touch," and "Dynasty Pink"—each representing a unique colorway.
