Retrograde Watch – FAQ
What is a retrograde watch?
A retrograde shows data on an arc. The hand sweeps forward, then snaps back to zero. The jump uses cams and springs. It is striking and very watchmaker-centric.
Common retrograde displays?
Retrograde date (1–31). Retrograde day (Mon–Sun). Retrograde seconds for constant motion. Retrograde GMT for a second zone. Or retrograde power reserve for remaining autonomy.
Automatic or quartz for a retrograde?
Quartz gives accuracy and low upkeep. An automatic adds mechanical charm and lively animation.
Does the retrograde need special care?
Avoid shocks. Do not change the date during the typical “danger zone” of 9 pm–3 am. Service a mechanical calibre every 3–5 years to keep accuracy and longevity.
Quick guide: how to choose a retrograde?
1) Define use: office, daily wear, travel, or collection.
2) Pick the useful retrograde function: date, day, seconds, reserve, or GMT.
3) Check case, thickness, crystal type, and legibility.
4) Movement: quartz for practicality, auto for character.
5) Strap: steel for versatility, leather for dress, rubber for sport.
