Blancpain Villeret Retrograde Second

The Blancpain Villeret Retrograde Second manages to pleasantly surprise with a casing height of only 10.4mm. The feature of this model is an innovative subdial of retrograde subsidiary seconds jumping back to start every 30 seconds.

The Villeret collection is most often characterized by minimalist simple designs that hide very effectively the technological feats of Blancpain encased within the pristine-looking cases. One of the trademarks of a Villeret, the ultra-slim casing, delights with its reduced size and weight, though the movement within can be no less complex than the other collections.

The movement utilizes the automatic Blancpain Caliber 7663 with 34 jewels that vibrate at 28,800 times per hour. The luxurious gold case is 40mm in diameter. It features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal face. The main functions are hours, minutes, retrograde subsidiary seconds.

The Blancpain Villeret Retrograde Second dial is a classy opaline, with slender gold hands and Roman numerals, and coordinates beautifully with a tan crocodile skin strap with buckle. Other variations to this timepiece include a white gold casing.
