How good is the tourbillon technology in mechanical watches? Take a look and you'll know

Globally recognized mechanical watch three major complication system function actually we are, tourbillon, perpetual calendar as well as minute repeater. These problems complication function watch due to information technology management difficulty is super high, the production and operation cycle is super long, so for the price often let a person deterred.

Today's watch repair home for you to introduce a mechanical watch the most complicated function - tourbillon

As we all know, due to various reasons, such as the reserve energy and tightness of the clockwork, or the wear and tear of metal parts and gravity, ordinary mechanical watches will have a large error. To overcome this difficulty, Breguet was the first to invent the tourbillon mechanism in 1795. The tourbillon was first applied to pocket watches in an attempt to counteract the effects of gravity on the escapement of mechanical watches.

However, a mechanical watch with a tourbillon is virtually immune to these factors, TUDOR Royal M28500-0006 with an error of less than 30 seconds per month. It is also the most complicated functioning watch.

There are many types of mechanical watches with tourbillons. The introduction of the watch repair house may make you "dumbfounded".

The first type of Tourbillon - Floating Tourbillon

Floating Tourbillon, also known as Flying Tourbillon, is special because it removes the cage plate on the Tourbillon and relies on the steel ring at the bottom to support the whole movement, as if it is a floating movement, which is the power of the floating tourbillon. Because the removed part of the Tourbillon's hairspring wheel is more exposed, it is easy to see the mechanical movement.

The second type of tourbillon - the hidden tourbillon

A common tourbillon watch has a "window" on the dial that enhances the beauty of the watch. However, the hidden tourbillon is more discreet. It does not tell everyone on the dial is a tourbillon watch, but hidden under the dial, so from the appearance, it is not a tourbillon,TUDOR Black Bay Chrono M79360N-0002 but it is indeed a tourbillon, really low-key luxury.

The third kind of tourbillon - Sphere Tourbillon

This kind of tourbillon, shaped like a ball, looks more three-dimensional and intuitive, and at the same time is also one of the most space-saving tourbillon, which has gear parts on all sides. It can be said that the ball tourbillon device is more of a decorative object, another great invention of the master watchmaker with both aesthetic design and skill.

The fourth type of tourbillon - the multiple tourbillon

As the name suggests, it is possible to multi points tourbillon (two tourbillon) in a Chinese mechanical watch, and again through a piece of us to show the exquisite attainments of watchmaking skills, very research visual effect impact,TUDOR Royal M28503-0008 full of sense of science and technology, a perfect interpretation of what is the dynamic aesthetics of the problem of the design of the development as well as the work of the passage of time.
