Tourbillon is a French word, means whirlwind. It is an escapement for timepiece.It operates by continuously rotating the escapement and balance assembly in order to negate the effect of gravity when the escapement is resting in a certain position.That means no matter what position the watch is in, those timing variations are essentially canceled out. It's aim is to improve accuracy.A tourbillon is one of the pinnacles of horological achievement, and a truly impressive feat of engineering.
