Blancpain Lady B Celebrates the Ladybird's 70th Anniversary

Hong Kong, 18 September 2026 — Blancpain opens a new chapter in the Ladybird collection with the Lady B, celebrating the 70th anniversary of a line born in 1956 and paying tribute to the original Ladybird Bullet, a horological landmark featuring the world's smallest round movement of its day.

Conceived in volume rather than surface, the Lady B is a mechanical bubble — a sculptural object on the wrist, heir to the biomorphic language of the 1950s that shaped the original Bullet. The spherical case measures 19 mm in diameter with a volume of just 2.9 cm³ and is paired with a double-tour calf leather strap. The watch is available in stainless steel or 18K red gold.

The Ladybird Bullet was created in 1956 under Betty Fiechter, the first woman to lead a Swiss watch house. Like its predecessor, the Lady B resists simple categorisation — it is a watch, a jewel and a design object at once — yet beneath the apparent simplicity lies a conviction that has guided Blancpain since 1735: a watch must be, above all, a watch.
