Originally an attempt to improve accuracy, tourbillons are now included in some expensive modern watches as a novelty and demonstration of watchmaking virtuosity. ![]() By continuously rotating the entire balance wheel/escapement assembly at a slow rate (typically about one revolution per minute), the tourbillon averages out positional errors. Developed around 1795 and patented by the French-Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet on June 26, 1801, a tourbillon aims to counter the effects of gravity by mounting the escapement and balance wheel in a rotating cage, to negate the effect of gravity when the timepiece (thus the escapement) is stuck in a certain position. In horology, a tourbillon ( French “whirlwind”) is an addition to the mechanics of a watch escapement. And it only costs 1499$ rather than 5 figures or even more as most of them cost.
