A Brief Feature Introduction of “King of Watch” – Tourbillon
Tourbillon is a clock speed-adjusting device made by Swiss clock master Louis Breguet in 1795. Tourbillon is a French word meaning “whirlpool”. The Tourbillon watch is a kind of mechanic watch with “rotating escapement speed-adjusting mechanism”. The Tourbillon escapement is used for rectifying the errors of the watch components caused by the attraction of gravitation. The Tourbillon represents the highest level of watch manufacturing.
The entire escapements are integrated and rotating together at a finite speed, decreasing the influence of the escapement in the mechanic watch caused by the attraction of gravitation. Therefore the precision of the watch is highly enhanced. Due to the unique operation way, the active artistic beauty of watch really reaches the peak and the Tourbillon is known of “King of Watch”.
The originality of Tourbillon is that the escapement is provided in one carriage. The carriage is rotating around the axis of a swinging wheel. In this way, the escapement is originally fixed. Thus, while the position of the watch is changing, the escapement is not changed, which causes errors due to the different stress of the escapement accessory; while the escapement is rotating continuously, the position errors of the accessories are integrated, which erases the errors.
The principle of the Tourbillon is that the watch is capable to compensate the attraction of gravitation while the watch is in a vertical position. In another word, while one watch is in a vertical position, the adjusting controller (a.k.a swinging wheel, gossamer and escapement device) generates imperceptible fast-slow change on each swing. If the adjusting controller is provided on a “carriage frame” which rotates one round per minute, obtaining a series of vertical positions, the hands of the watch can move precisely to compensate the errors.
Tourbillon is indisputably famous for its precision in all kinds of circumstances. Thereby one gets one Tourbillon, one obtains the precision, fashion and reassurance.
