What is a tourbillon watch? Explaining how it works
Tourbillon watches are a highly popular and intricate type of mechanical watch featuring a mechanism known as the “tourbillon.” The French word tourbillon means “whirlwind,” a fitting description of its hypnotic motion. Originally developed to improve the accuracy of pocket watches, the tourbillon has carried over into modern wristwatches, standing today as a symbol of high-end watchmaking that embodies technical mastery, precision craftsmanship, and luxury.
