Tourbillons at www.ClassWatches.com
Tourbillons are the pinnacle of mechanical watch movements, first invented in 1795 by watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet, designed originally to counteract the effects of gravity and position in mechanical watch movements. A Tourbillon essentially mounts the watch balance wheel and escapement in a rotating cage which averages out errors caused by gravity, or moving a watch into different positions as the wearer moves around.
Today Tourbillons represent a dedication to craftsmanship and skill, and take many hours of work by talented watchmakers to build and assemble. They are found in the highest priced watches in a manufacturer's range and are rare and very collectible.
