To mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of iconic actress Marilyn Monroe, Swiss luxury watchmaker Blancpain has unveiled an extraordinary creation: the Ladybird Tribute collection, a refined homage inspired by the legendary star’s personal Blancpain timepiece.
A Rare Collection of Seven Unique Pieces
The collection is composed of just seven exclusive watches, each symbolically representing a letter in the name MARILYN. Every piece features a distinct color palette inspired by different facets of Monroe’s life, personality, and enduring legacy.
These timepieces reinterpret the diamond-set Blancpain cocktail watch once owned by Marilyn Monroe herself — a historic piece that resurfaced at auction in 2016 before becoming part of Blancpain’s official heritage archive.
Vintage Inspiration Meets Modern Craftsmanship
Crafted in white gold and adorned with 85 brilliant diamonds, the Ladybird Tribute collection reflects a perfect balance between vintage elegance and contemporary haute horlogerie.
The design pays tribute to the golden age of Hollywood while showcasing Blancpain’s modern expertise in fine watchmaking, resulting in pieces that feel both timeless and deeply contemporary.
A Tribute to a Lasting Legacy
More than a limited edition release, the Ladybird Tribute collection celebrates the powerful connection between one of Hollywood’s most enduring style icons and one of Switzerland’s oldest and most prestigious watchmakers.
With its extreme exclusivity and rich historical inspiration, the collection stands as a rare fusion of cinematic legacy and horological artistry, destined to captivate collectors and admirers of luxury worldwide.
