A tribute to a screen icon
Marilyn Monroe's jewellery watch makes a comeback just in time for the beloved actress's 100th birthday. Blancpain's Ladybird Tribute collection extracts the defining details of its predecessor: opaline dial, yellow gold applied hour markers, and conical hands.
Heritage as inspiration
By drawing on a timepiece linked to one of cinema's most enduring figures, Blancpain blends watchmaking savoir-faire with cultural storytelling. The Ladybird, one of the maison's historic feminine watches, becomes the vehicle for a piece that is as much an emotional object as a horological one.
Watchmaking's storytelling moment
The launch reflects a wider movement in fine watchmaking, where brands increasingly anchor new releases in heritage and narrative. In a market that values meaning and rarity, reviving an icon's personal watch is a powerful way to capture attention and desire.
