subject: The feature of Tourbillon watch [print this page] Tourbillon watch is the top watch in the world, famous for the Tourbillon adjustment invented by A.L.Breguet. The complexity and equipment of Tourbillon adjustment makes it rare in the world.
Tourbillon adjustment can adjust the spare difference caused from gravity to achieve a higher precision toward people's demanding request. The normal mechanism timing cant avoid the precision difference caused from "place difference" while Tourbillon mechanism timing can counteract the difference from each direction and achieve zero difference. In the Tourbillon adjustment, there's one moveable outer case with escapement inside.Besides autorotation, it also does revolution along the second axle centre. Generally it will rotate one time per minute, meanwhile counteract the traveltime difference in its vertical rotating direction. In short, the Tourbillon can be equal to pendulum, the function of which is to adjust the watch speed. However, the pendulum is swinging because of gravity(not heavy), so it cant be used to watch. Then it's transformed to be rings to escape the reliance on gravity as pendulum, and getting a new motor system from the internal spring. That's the so-called "Tourbillon adjustment".
In the beginning, Tourbillon was used in the pocket watch, ever since then, more and more tourbillon with different structure, different shape, different material and different deco have been created by those watch masters with good combination of splendid creativity and brilliant tachnique.
Along with the flourishing of Tourbillon adjustment, the tourbillon watch and watch factories are increasing in the world. From the Tourbillon China NO1 in 1996 to the Oriental Tourbillon in 2004, Tourbillon has witnessed the growth of three generation in China.
