At Baselworld this week, Blancpain presented its first annual calendar combined with the GMT function. The Villeret Annual Calendar GMT is equipped with the new in-house automatic calibre 6054F. Find pricing and wallpaper inside. As an annual calendar, the movement requires one date adjustment per year, at the transition from February to March. For all other months, the watch itself moves on from the 30th or the 31st to the first day of the following month. It also has a small 24-hour hand in a subdial at 8 o'clock, which serves as a reference time. The GMT function is provided by the central hour hand of the watch, which is linked to the date.

What is the heritage of these fine timepieces?The companies that ultimately became Tutima were founded in the Saxony city of Glash��tte in 1927 by a young academic jurist, Ernst Kurtz. UROFA (Uhren-Rohwerke-Fabrik Glash��tte AG) and UFAG (Uhrenfabrik Glash��tte AG) were the original companies founded to resurrect the failed Glash��tte watch industry, which had collapsed under the load of the economic crisis that followed WW I.Tutima was originally the moniker of the highest grade timepieces made by UROFA-UFAG. The name was taken from the
