The Tourbillon mechanism was invented more than 200 years ago by Abraham-Louis Breguet... the "godfather" of all Tourbillons. The Tourbillon is one of the most difficult watches to make and is extremely complex and cost-intensive. The Tourbillons purpose is to compensate the negative effect on the precision of a watch due to the Earth's gravitation. The Tourbillon ensures that the watch keeps perfect time. The Tourbillon system consisted of assembling all the escapement parts - pallets wheel, pallets and balance - in a small mobile cage that rotates in one regular cycle in one direction (one rotation per minute), thus passing by every position.
