Tourbillon refers to a mechanical watch equipped with a ‘rotary escapement speed-regulating mechanism’. The tourbillon mechanism is used to correct the errors caused by the gravity of the clock. The tourbillon watch represents the highest level in the manufacturing process of mechanical watches. The entire escapement speed regulating mechanism is combined and can rotate, and continuously rotates at a certain speed, making it make the gravity attract the ‘escape system’ in the mechanical watch. To minimize the impact and improve travel time accuracy. Due to its unique operation mode, the dynamic artistic beauty of clocks has been brought to the peak and has always been known as the ‘king of watches’.

Tourbillon Portuguese Tourbillon Hand-Wound Collection IW544602
Movement type: manual mechanical
Gender: Men
Case material: 18K rose gold
Strap material: crocodile leather
Domestic public price: ¥ 430,000
Watch details: Brief comment: The Portuguese three-hand and one-line tourbillon watch combines the research and development achievements of two watch industries to achieve the desired accuracy. In the days when pocket watches were prevalent, tourbillons were used to offset positional errors, but today this most beautiful and complex installation is a commemoration of superb watchmaking art. The non-traditional three-needle, one-line pointer arrangement is a memory of the era of precision mechanical timepieces at observatories and watchmaking companies. If it is assembled in the normal position, the hour hand is too long to cover the small dial of the second hand, so it is equipped with its own small chronograph ring, and the glorious position of the main dial is given to the minute hand. The white gold model has a dark blue ‘ardoise’ dial, while the platinum and 18K rose gold models have a silver-plated dial. The dial is a completely new ‘classic’ design. 98 98845 special edition pocket watch movement, running at 28800 rpm, you can admire this exquisite movement through the transparent sapphire glass case back.
Seagull Tourbillon Gold Watch ST8083GK
Movement type: manual mechanical
Gender: Men
Case material: 18K rose gold
Strap material: crocodile leather
Domestic public price: 280,000
Details of the models: brief comment: center hour and minute hands indication; 2 o’clock calendar, moon phase indication; 9 o’clock eccentric, 6 o’clock coaxial tourbillon; manual winding. Seagull’s ‘double tourbillon’ mechanical watch adopts coaxial and eccentric ‘tourbillon’ design, and uses patented differential structure to connect two sets of ‘tourbillon’, making the two sets of ‘tourbillon’ independent The operation can complement the resonance, improve the travel time accuracy, and also achieve new leaps in process aesthetics. It should be noted that the Moon-phase function is usually a dark blue disc in the dial of the movement, which is driven by the gear system and is used to display the moon’s 29 and 1 / 2-day revolution cycle. Behind such a simple description is the meshing linkage of many precision gears, which is difficult to describe in words.
In summary: ordinary mechanical watches, because the balance spring in the escapement system will be affected by tightness and metal fatigue, and the law of balance wheel swing will also be affected by gravity, so the error is large. The tourbillon escapement speed regulation device plays a considerable role in overcoming the above-mentioned series of effects. Although today’s watches are facing more position changes and the ability to adjust the accuracy of the tourbillon is weakened, the tourbillon is still a top watchmaking technology and is sought after by most watch fans who love mechanical watchmaking.
