A key movement in mechanical watchmaking

A key movement in mechanical watchmaking

Rare and complex to produce, the tourbillon holds a special place in mechanical watchmaking, both for its technical principle and for the demands it places on design, assembly and adjustment.

A complication that is both functional and structural

A complication that is both functional and structural

A tourbillon is a mechanism that places the regulating organ — comprising the balance wheel, its balance spring and the escapement — within a rotating cage. Unlike a fixed regulating organ, the tourbillon continuously alters the orientation of these sensitive components. It is integrated directly into the movement’s architecture and plays a role in regulating time, making it a complication that is both functional and structural.

The tourbillon: a key complication in mechanical watchmaking

Designed to act directly on the regulation of the movement, the tourbillon is one of the most complex mechanisms in mechanical watchmaking. More than two centuries after its invention, it remains a technical benchmark associated with precision, balance and mastery of the movement.
