Blancpain, Minute Repeater Erotic Automatons, 1995, 441-332.14.B, Platinum

SOLD

A pièce unique of extraordinary audacity and craftsmanship, this Minute Repeater Erotic Automatons wristwatch represents one of the most glamorous and provocative expressions of high watchmaking from the late 20th century. Produced circa 1995, the present watch belongs to an exceptionally rare category of mechanical art, where traditional horology converges with animated automaton artistry.

Encased in platinum, the watch is distinguished by its two-tone white dial, meticulously designed to conceal a finely executed erotic automaton scene. Activated on demand, the automaton springs to life in synchrony with the minute repeater mechanism, transforming the watch into an intimate theatrical performance powered entirely by mechanical ingenuity. Such watches were never part of serial production and were instead created discreetly for a highly select clientele, making each example profoundly personal and irreplaceable.

The minute repeater mechanism, long regarded as one of watchmaking’s most prestigious complications, delivers rich and harmonious chimes, while simultaneously driving the animated scene—an extraordinary technical challenge mastered by only a handful of artisans. The refinement of the case, the purity of the dial’s palette, and the complexity hidden beneath the surface underscore the watch’s dual identity as both an objet d’art and a serious haute horlogerie creation.

Preserved in remarkable condition and accompanied by its original box and warranty, the present watch stands as a rare testament to an era when discretion, mechanical daring, and bespoke luxury defined the pinnacle of independent and confidential watchmaking.
