Have you heard of Tourbillon watch which is a big international branch winning fame in the whole world? At the beginning, Tourbillon is a kind of clock speed-adjustment equipment invented by Louis Breguet in 1795. The word of Tourbillon has the meaning of whirlpool in French, refers to automatic watch equipped with rotary escapement speed governor. One of big traits of Tourbillon watch is that it can adjust error of gravity on watch spares. And Tourbillon watch represents the highest level of watch making in mechanical watch industry, the whole escapement speed governor of which are combined together for rotating at a certain speed, and it can lower the influence of gravity on escapement system to the lowest degree, thus can increase accuracy of timing. Since its unique moving way, activity aesthetic of watch can be developed to summit, and thus Tourbillon watch has always been called King of Watch. Today we are going to introduce some traits of Tourbillon watch.
No.1 structure
The novelty of Tourbillon lies in that put the escapement structure into a carriage, then the carriage of which can rotate around the axis at circles. Original structure of traditional watch is fixed, thus when place of watch is changed, if escapement structure does not change, there would be error of timing caused by stress of escapement spares; while when the escapement structure is rotating at circles, the direction error of spares could be combined to set off each other, then error can be eradicated. And now Tourbillon watch can be rotating 360 degree each minute, which is the idealist rotating speed.
No.2 technique of Tourbillon
The third generation of Tourbillon watch, that is third structure Mystery Tourbillon, is invented first time in Hong Kong in 1993 by a man named Kiu Tai Yu, which does not only cancel out flying fixed frame, and at same time it canceled out flying-wheel rotating frame of second Tourbillon watch, thus which has decreased total weight of flying-wheel of watch, and widen diameter of balance wheel to stressing stability of timing, and meanwhile increase performance level of activity. And third generation of Tourbillon watch takes place of metals by sapphire glass for balance wheel plywood, and thus the watch would be more attracting while moving.
