Blancpain Villeret Tourbillon Heure Sautante Minutes Rétrograde

Blancpain's Villeret Tourbillon Heure Sautante Minutes Rétrograde, reference 66260 3433 55B, comes in a 42 mm platinum case. The case measures 11.5 mm thick, with a lug width of 23 mm. A sapphire crystal covers the champlevé enamel dial, and the manual-winding calibre 260MR drives the display beneath it. The movement combines a flying tourbillon with a jumping hour and retrograde minutes, an unusual pairing of complications, and shows its power reserve on the dial, good for 144 hours on a full wind. The watch is fitted to an alligator leather strap secured by a folding clasp. Water resistance is a modest 30 metres, in keeping with its dress-watch purpose.
