These cages are based on an old French design from the '40s or early '50s. In the Velo Orange estimation, they are the best looking bottle cages of all time.
The Retro is a regular one-handed cage; you insert the bottle just like in any other cage, but it holds the bottle very securely due to the spring-like shape. You can spread the cage for an oversized bottle, or squeeze the cage inward for a better fit with (for instance) a metal water bottle. The tab on the back hold smaller and regular plastic bottles securely.
Velo Orange Retro cages are made by hand from a single length of 3mm stainless steel rod and then electro-polished. If you examine it closely from all angles you'll see that it is, indeed, hand made.
