05: FAST TRACK
Retrograde displays can be used to indicate various things: Seconds, minutes, hours, days, and so on. Typically, the seconds retrograde display is the fastest-moving, jumping back to the start every 60 seconds. But the retrograde seconds hand of Blancpain’s Villeret Retrograde Small Seconds (Ref. 6653Q-3462-55B) moves even faster than that, returning to the start every 30 seconds. This feature lends a fun, dynamic touch to the otherwise classically styled wristwatch, shown here in a 40mm red gold case.
