The tourbillon watch was invented about 200 years ago by the great French watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet. The tourbillon has a free spung variable inertia balance, which helps the watch maintain accuracy after suffering shocks, and the barrel is both fast-rotating and has progressive recoil, making the force delivered more constant over time.

The tourbillon exists for the same reason that Formula 1 racing cars exits - not because it is something we need, but as a demonstration of the edge of the envelope - the forward edge of man's technical creativity and skill.

The tourbillon watch was invented in 1795 by Abraham-Louis Breguet and was actually meant for sailors to keep time, but he soon saw the need for it in pocket watches as well. The tourbillon movement is a highly complex mechanism built to compensate for the influence of gravity. The tourbillon invention swept the high end watch-making world like a "whirlwind".
