This complication is one of the most prestigious in watchmaking.
A device designed by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1801 to cancel the deviations in the rate in vertical positions.
The name of Chapter 4.1 The Veblen Dilemma Tourbillon was chosen in a nod to the Veblen Effect. Named after the economist and sociologist Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929), it refers to the snobbery which considers that the high price of a luxury good makes it more desirable.

Chapter 4.5 Veblen Dilemma
*The Veblen Dilemma :
The name of Chapter 4.1 The Veblen Dilemma Tourbillon was chosen in a nod to the Veblen Effect. Named after the economist and sociologist Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929), it refers to the snobbery which considers that the high price of a luxury good makes it more desirable.
And conversely, that an accessible price necessarily corresponds to a lower intrinsic value. BA111Od, with its tourbillonl, poses a real dilemma.

This enigmatic sentence, engraved on the barrel, is a tribute to Gil Baillod, the father of
Thomas Baillod, a leading figure in journalism in French-speaking Switzerland. He had written
it on the title page of the book he had written on the measurement of time, which he had
given to Thomas' best friend on the day of his death.
