THE TOURBILLON

Gravity naturally has a negative impact on a movement's accuracy. By putting its escapement into a constant spin, the tourbillon counteracts this natural defect. In the process, it becomes a rotating, fascinating and prestigious creation, a manifestation of expertise and craft, designed for chronometry.
