Retrograde is a type of watch complication that involves the motion of a hand in a backwards direction. This complication is typically used to indicate a secondary function, such as the date, power reserve, or day of the week. The hand moves in a circular fashion, then jumps back to its original starting point when it reaches the end. This gives the watch a unique look and feel, as it has a vintage look and feel to it. Retrograde watches add a bit of style and sophistication to any watch collection.
