Not often that a “women’s watch” makes grabs my attention. This #Blancpain Lady B did. For the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Ladybird Bullet, it pays tribute to then CEO Betty Fiechter, the first woman to lead a Swiss watchmaking house. The tiny movement&case. Wow!

Busy day so this is my post. #Chrisopher-Ward has a new C63 Chrono lineup. They "homage" hard and admit it. But these look good--the symmetry works for me. Colorful. Modern pushers. 100m resistance. $2625 ($2765 iLink tooless) isn't cheap, but ok these days.
