DAILY WATCH: Blancpain St. Valentin

Valentine’s Day seems to appear on the calendar quicker every year and what better way to express your love than a watch that will last forever as a testament to how you feel. Blancpain’s diamond-set St. Valentin timepiece is a remarkable and eye catching example of the power of love in today’s world. Sixty-eight diamonds are set within the bezel and lugs, while the mother-of-pearl dial is adorned with eight. A heart set with 19 rubies marks 12 o’clock at the top of the dial, and the seconds hand is decorated in the form of Cupid’s arrow. Blancpain developed a new movement for the St. Valentin, the Caliber 913, which showcases a new silicon balance spring and a glucydur balance wheel fitted with micrometric regulating screws. The 29 mm timepiece comes with two interchangeable alligator leather straps in red and white. Price: $14,900
