Tourbillon from the date of birth is highly regarded senior watch industry patents. Today, tourbillon watches will be included in many high-level Swiss watch brand’s top section of the square in the watch, some of which have a unique personality and functional design of tourbillon watches have become the object of collectors and investors hunting.
Tourbillon known as the “king of the watch” in the world. This one from “the father of modern watchmaking” Breguet in the 18th century, in order to eliminate the force of gravity on the watch timing error produced by the mechanical mechanism to create innovative, not only in terms of upgrading the timing is the most accurate indicator of the invention and also represents the field of mechanical watch technology the highest level.
As in the old pocket watch to wear, often vertical ground state is close up in the pocket, the balance springs under the direction of gravity by a single long-term to contain the impact of the reduction of Zhang’s concentric circles, etc.. Breguet Tourbillon created the original intention is to control the time for the accuracy of the balance wheel and escapement, placed in a rotation by the gear-driven framework, in the rotation during the process of gravity springs scattered throughout to offset gravitational effect of the system, thus improving the accuracy of travel time. Writing in 1779 to 1800, few among the memorandum, Breguet that “in a tourbillon regulator, the No matter what type of escapement, but also whether it is lever-type or snap-type, escapement framework driven by the movement, which also means that the latter is the major part of gear drive chain, also with its automatic place Tuo axis.
The construction of very complicated tourbillon, watchmaking division often require a small space built into a large number of parts, and repeatedly adjust the subject before and after assembly, production is extremely time-consuming and labor. Today, many watch brands have mastered advanced manufacturing technology Tourbillon, Omega coaxial mid Tourbillon, Jaeger-LeCoultre ball shape Tourbillon, Piaget’s ultra-thin and relatively tourbillon tourbillon watches such as the original there, also the complex and sophisticated timing mechanism to bring a whole new watchmaking concept and Aesthetics.
Omega back in the 1990s introduced the mid coaxial tourbillon escapement with two important inventions. Basel Watch Fair this year on, the brand will be combining the two projects technology initiative, has brought a hollow coaxial tourbillon platinum limited edition watch. Watch in which, the pointer is not in the conventional manner at the center axis is placed, but the etching on the sapphire crystal disc, through the outer edge of disc drive device to drive its operation.
Jaeger-LeCoultre launched in 2004 shocked the altar watch of the first ever ball shape Tourbillon watch Gyrotourbillon 1, and watch the most special place which is used in three-dimensional high-speed rotation of the ball shape Tourbillon movement to completely overthrow the clock mechanism of the conventions. In 2008, Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso enable the shape of the historic significance of this case and the ball shape Tourbillon match, creating a totally free from interference of the apex of gravity.
Piaget early 1950s on hand-winding movement with 9P and 12P self-winding movement twice broken the world record in ultra-thin movement. In 2002, the brand launched the world caused by the watch breathtaking hand made chain 600P tourbillon movement, the movement of the gold thickness of only 3.5 mm, is by far the world’s thinnest tourbillon movement rectangle. Today, ultra-thin Piaget tourbillon has become the most recognized one of the watches. It is worth mentioning that, in order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Emperador series, Piaget watch more bold appearance in Empordaor to make great changes, a completely new super-thin Tourbillon watch.
Founded in the 125 anniversary of the brand, Bulgari introduced to the founder of the special cable to Rio Bvlgari watch series is named. It is particularly worth mentioning is that the series developed by the independent brand tourbillon perpetual calendar watch features ultra-complex, equipped with 465 movement, and hollow automatic tourbillon, perpetual calendar, coaxial counter his fusion in a jump function.
