Blancpain has launched the Lady B, a 19mm spherical mechanical watch celebrating the 70th anniversary of its Ladybird collection. The timepiece features an in-house automatic Calibre 615, one of the smallest round movements in contemporary production, housed in a lugless case with a pass-through strap. Priced from CHF 9,500, it honors the legacy of former CEO Betty Fiechter and the original 1956 Ladybird Bullet.
A new study published in BMC Medicine finds that replacing sitting time with just three minutes of vigorous activity can reduce the risk of 13 types of cancer by up to 7%. While standing and light movement also offer benefits, vigorous activity is the most effective strategy for lowering cancer risk. Experts emphasize that any movement is better than none, but intensity matters for maximum impact. This finding complements earlier research linking prolonged sitting to higher cancer mortality and cardiovascular risks.
