Blancpain’s partnership with the film In The Lost Land takes center stage in my new interview with George R.R. Martin, Paul W.S. Anderson, and Milla Jovovich. The film, set in a dystopian world, prominently features a Blancpain Carrousel Répétition Minutes Chronographe Flyback, chosen not just for its luxury watch appeal, but also for its fitting role as a coveted relic. The watch, a minute repeater with chronograph functionality, plays a significant part in the narrative, enhancing the film’s world-building while showcasing Blancpain’s timeless craftsmanship.
