Complications

Retrograde Day

The retrograde day indicator is a watch complication where the day of the week is shown on an arc-shaped scale. As the hand moves across the days and reaches the end (typically Sunday) it instantly jumps back to the starting point (Monday) to begin the cycle again. This creates a dynamic and engaging display.

Secured movement

A secured movement is a watchmaking innovation designed to protect delicate mechanisms and ensure lasting precision. By preventing accidental damage when setting the watch, it enhances reliability over time. At Blancpain, secured movements are a hallmark of our craftsmanship.

Large date

A large date complication displays the date in a larger aperture for enhanced legibility. It uses two separate discs (one for tens, one for units) requiring more intricate engineering than standard date displays. This refined mechanism is a hallmark of high-end watchmaking, blending clarity with technical sophistication.
