Blancpain’s Air Command series is getting two new options for the range in titanium and red gold. They’re smaller than the previous 42mm-plus sized versions we are used to, and are being marketed as more “feminine”.

What should you consider if you would still like to own a watch made by a now-defunct brand? Martin Green has some answers.
