In the intricate world of watchmaking, few complications evoke as much fascination as the tourbillon. For the uninitiated, a tourbillon is more than just a feature; it's a testament to watchmaking skill, a marvel of engineering and a symbol of luxury.

A tourbillon watch is a type of mechanical timepiece designed to improve accuracy by mitigating the effects of gravity. The escapement regulates the release of energy from the mainspring to the gear train, ensuring consistent movement of the hands, while the balance wheel oscillates to control the gears' speed.

Creating a tourbillon is no small feat. It requires an extraordinary level of precision, skill, and patience. Each component of the tourbillon mechanism is meticulously crafted, often by hand, and assembled with the utmost care. The entire assembly consists of many parts, all of which must work in perfect harmony.

THE BIRTH OF THE TOURBILLON

A tourbillon is a sophisticated mechanism found in high-end mechanical watches, conceived by the British watchmaker and inventor John Arnold, it was developed by his friend the Swiss-French watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet and patented by Breguet on 26 June 1801. Its primary purpose is to enhance timekeeping accuracy by addressing the effects of gravity on the watch's escapement.

The name “tourbillon” means “whirlwind” in French, a fitting description for the revolving mechanism at its heart. Breguet’s innovation was driven by the quest for greater accuracy.

At the time, pocket watches were the norm, often carried vertically in the pocket. This constant position caused gravitational forces to affect the balance wheel and escapement, leading to timing inaccuracies.

To combat this, Breguet devised a rotating cage that housed the escapement and balance wheel. By continuously rotating, the tourbillon averages out positional errors, significantly enhancing the watch’s accuracy.

This ingenious mechanism was a breakthrough in precision timekeeping and remains a cornerstone of high-end watchmaking.

The complex movement has been developed in collaboration with French, Swiss-based watchmaker Olivier Mory, using his tourbillon module to create a complication dedicated to travel and exploration. Our tourbillon has been intricately hand-assembled by our talented team of watchmakers at ‘The Wing’ in Henley-on-Thames.

OUR WATCHMAKING PHILOSOPHY

The simple connecting thread of British watchmaking is one born of practicality. Britain as an island nation relied heavily on maritime capability to connect itself with the world, to establish trading relationships, to explore the globe and to defend its shoreline.

The necessity to understand proximity is central to maritime excellence and to search for Longitude requires exacting and consistent timing. This is a watchmaking culture inherited from the practical necessity to reliably know what time it is and to understand your location when out in the wilds of the world.

This British watchmaking culture became part of the national spirit through a sense of adventure and curiosity.
