What is a tourbillon? A tourbillon is a mechanism that constantly rotates the balance wheel, balance spring and escapement while the movement is running. This is done to counter the affect of Earth’s gravity on the isochronal properties of the balance wheel and spring. The tourbillon was invented by Breguet in 1795 and patented in 1801.
