The Tourbillon
The manual production of a tourbillon can be carried out only by very skilled and astute watchmakers. Its successful execution is an unquestionable certificate of mastery. Over the generations of watch-makers, since Breguet, there were probably fewer than 250 able to execute such a masterpiece, according to Richard Meis, in his book “The Tourbillon”.
The tourbillon, as a mechanism, enjoys much prestige and admiration due to it’s complexity, and rarity.
