What is a Tourbillon Watch and How Does It Work?

What is a Tourbillon Watch and How Does It Work?

November 1, 2023

Discovering the Tourbillon Complication

The world of horology is brimming with complex mechanisms and fascinating complications, including the tourbillon. A tourbillon is a mechanical marvel designed to enhance the accuracy of timepieces by countering the effects of gravity on the movement. Invented in 1795 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, this whirlwind of precision has since become a symbol of horological expertise and luxury. At Precision Watches, we take pride in offering an array of exquisite tourbillon timepieces that not only keep precise time but also serve as a testament to master craftsmanship.

The Mystique of Tourbillon Movements

Tourbillon movements are a captivating spectacle, showcasing the beating heart of the watch in a hypnotic dance. This complication places the escapement and balance wheel in a rotating cage, thus negating positional errors caused by gravity. The meticulous construction and precision engineering required to create a tourbillon make it a coveted feature among watch aficionados. Our collection at Precision Watches embraces this horological tradition, presenting a range of tourbillon watches that epitomize elegance and mechanical prowess.

Identifying Various Tourbillon Types

The tourbillon has evolved over the centuries, giving rise to several variations, each with its unique charm and complexity:

  1. Double-axis & Triple-axis Tourbillons: These tourbillons rotate on multiple axes, adding an extra dimension to the traditional design.
  2. Double and Quadruple Tourbillons: Watches with multiple tourbillons, like the awe-inspiring creations from Greubel Forsey, offer a visual feast of mechanical choreography.
  3. Flying Tourbillons: With a support system on one side, flying tourbillons appear to float within the case, creating an enchanting visual effect.
  4. Gyrotourbillons: An innovation by Jaeger-LeCoultre, the gyrotourbillon adds a mesmerizing spin to the classic tourbillon design.
