Ever since Adolphe Nicole invented the flyback second mechanism during the 19th century, various high-end Swiss brands scrambled to make it fit into the thinnest case possible. The efforts of Blancpain's master watchmakers can be seen on the Blancpain Villeret Split-Second Chronograph. The ultra-slim timepiece is available in 18k rose or yellow gold as well as platinum and measures only around 34mm to 38mm in diameter. Its trademark fixed stepped bezel frames a dial which displays the hours, minutes, subsidiary seconds, date, and double chronograph. The Blancpain Villeret Split-Second Chronograph also boast of a 40 hour power reserve guaranteed by an automatic mechanical movement. Precise and ultimately dependable, the Blancpain Villeret Split-Second Chronograph features a scratch resistant sapphire crystal, an alligator/crocodile leather, and a waterproof rating of 30m.
