But more importantly… it’s a tourbillon!!!
The scientific stuff…
A tourbillon is a mechanical complication found in the movements of certain high-end mechanical watches. It was invented during the era or the pocket watch and is both hypnotic and fascinating to watch. Watches with tourbillons are usually a bit expensive compared to watches without them. They are not the most common complication that you'll find on a watch, but certainly one of the most entertaining.
What is the purpose of a tourbillon?
One of the most challenging things watchmakers faced when regulating a pocket watch is the effects that gravity plays on the caliber or movement. A tourbillon acts as a way to counter the drag effect that gravity plays on some of the smaller components in a timepiece's escapement when held in certain positions.
How does a tourbillon watch work?
A tourbillon places certain parts of the watches internal mechanics, (the balance wheel and escapement ) into a rotating cage. The escapement is a component of the movement which is comprised of the hairspring, balance wheel, and pallet fork. The tourbillon watch will then slowly rotate this cage holding the aforementioned components, usually at a rate of 1 RPM, and this counteracts the adverse effects that gravity creates when the watch is in certain positions and helps to iron out positional errors of accuracy.
