Tourbillon - Purtec Mouvements

Since the 19th century, the tourbillon has represented, due to its aesthetic appeal and mechanical ingenuity, one of the most significant innovations in the watchmaking industry.

The tourbillon cage generally rotates on its axis, completing a full rotation in a certain period of time, typically one minute. This constant rotation aims to compensate for variations in the watch’s positions.

Indeed, due to gravity, different positions of the watch can affect the regularity of its movement, leading to inaccuracies.

The tourbillon, by rotating on itself, exposes each part of the mechanism to various positions, thereby “neutralizing” the negative effects of gravity.

The symbol of fascinating complexity

The tourbillon is a prestigious horological complication that combines technical improvement and visual aesthetics.

While its impact on accuracy may be more noticeable in pocket watches than in modern wristwatches, where wrist movements vary, it remains a symbol of horological mastery and innovation.

Watch enthusiasts appreciate tourbillons for their beauty, complexity, and their ability to embody the essence of haute horlogerie.
