split-second Flyback chronograph, Leman, date and small second-hand, black military dial, self-winding

In 1989, Blancpain marked watchmaking history by introducing the world’s first self-winding split-seconds chronograph. This horological marvel’s movement includes a mechanical clutch-and-memory device that enables the split-seconds hand to stop while a given time is recorded before flying back to rejoin its twin, the chronograph hand.

This achievement of the master watchmakers is yet another demonstration of their search for difficult challenges, and their ability to invent increasingly complex and accurate mechanisms.
