Tourbillion

A technically difficult to achieve timepiece was invented in 1801 by Abraham-LouisBreguet, and that serves to offset the influence of gravity on the balance of a pocket watch, so the precision is increased. In a tour billion (from the French word forwhirlwind), the entire escapement mounted on a epicycloïdaal radar in a "cage" and makes a complete rotation on its axis in a fixed time course, usually one minute. In awristwatch is more or less superfluous, but dithorologische masterpiece is seen as a sign of technical expertise in modern times.

Given the trend to apply this complication in the haute horlogerie watchmakers nowintroduce creative variations on the theme. The watch industry has spent the pasttwenty years a tremendous growth, with more than innovative technology was introduced in the four hundred years that preceded it.

These inventions provide manymore advanced features on a watch by micro components or greater accuracy and stability with less maintenance. Often there are decades of research and testing in advance. After a journey of many inventions only to watch in a production specialistavailable at your watch.
