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.

A calendar complication uses a dedicated hand to point to the date, arranged around the dial’s edge. This peripheral scale, typically numbered 1–31, offers quick readability. It adds a classic, elegant touch to traditional timepieces.

A retrograde calendar is a distinctive complication where the date hand moves along an arc rather than a full circle. When it reaches the end of its scale, it instantly snaps back to the start. This dynamic motion adds visual flair and mechanical complexity, making it a favorite among collectors.

A small retrograde seconds complication features a seconds hand that moves along an arc rather than a full circle. Once it reaches the end, it instantly jumps back to the start. This lively motion adds visual interest and showcases technical finesse, making it a captivating element in fine watchmaking.
