In any kind of clockwork mechanism, that power in the spring needs two things to work: one, gearing that converts the speed and torque to an appropriate level, and two, some kind of resistance to stop it unwinding
There are a few in the haute horlogerie that do futuristic, fiercely unconventional timepieces like the MB&F. The LVMH Watch Week is a place of reckoning for the best watchmakers, and it''s here that we see them going beyond the usual. Hublot for 2024 has gone seriously unconventional with the novel MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy
Tourbillon Complication Overview. A tourbillon is one of the most intricate and celebrated complications in horology. It was invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1795 to counteract the effects of gravity on the accuracy of pocket watches. The tourbillon achieves this by placing the escapement and balance wheel in a rotating cage, which
To further emphasize the fluid shape of the MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium, all of this ingenuity is housed in a two-piece, 54.1 by 41.5 by 22.4mm case done in a shiny micro-blasted titanium. The sapphire crystal is
Cette MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium ne fera pas exception. La pièce s''impose dès le premier regard. Sa forme aux angles adoucis, son design maigre, son verre saphir, d''une complexité
The most tongue-in-cheek demonstration of this is Patek Philippe''s Ref. 5101P, whose impeccably constructed tourbillon is not visible on the dial side. Rather, it remains hidden, visible only
Hublot has announced its latest Manufacture Piece (MP), the MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System. Limited to 50 pieces, the MP-10 is set apart from the rest, featuring a sleek avant-garde design proudly exhibiting a bold reinvention of classic
Complex, delicate and expensive: why does the tourbillon – an 18th-century invention for pocket watches – carry so much weight today?
The notion that a tourbillon should be an aid to rate stability seems intuitive enough and yet it has become more or less a matter of conventional wisdom
Typically a Swiss-made timepiece with a tourbillon starts around $40,000 and can easily climb quite steeply in price from there. They are difficult to make by hand, with more than 40 parts inside just a few millimeter space and are made from light weight materials.
So, in response to the so-called "Quartz Crisis," watchmakers started relying on beauty, more than precision, to sell their watches. "To wear a watch with a tourbillon was a sign that you
Now, I know you are thinking, the Leroy Chronomètre à Tourbillon seems like a nice enough watch. And at first glance it is. If you have gotten close enough to gaze at the beautiful enamel and understand the secrets hidden within the dial, then there is a good chance you will see and understand the real goods – those that make you wonder what is
The tourbillon is a unique technology that was used to place certain parts of a watch''s internal mechanics on a rotating cage. In terms of components, the escapement for tourbillons comprises a balance wheel, hairspring, and pallet fork. Once everything is in place, the tourbillon is designed to slowly rotate its cage along with other
This design counters gravity''s effects, enhancing the accuracy of the watch, especially when stationary. Typically, the tourbillon rotates once every minute, correcting positional errors. The term, a nod to
To understand why the tourbillon exists, first we need to cover a little background on the mechanical watch. Rather than being powered by a battery, a mechanical watch draws from a coiled spring, housed in a barrel. In any kind of clockwork mechanism, that power in the spring needs two things to work: one, gearing that converts the speed and
The tourbillon is composed of four main parts: the cage, balance, balance spring and escapement. The last three elements are all housed within the cage, which rotates through 360 degrees, usually
This resulted in the tourbillon movement, which houses the watch''s so-called ''regulating organs'' – that''s the balance, balance spring and escapement – in a cage that constantly spins
On June 26, 1801, or rather on 7 Messidor, year IX, since the Republican calendar was still in force in France, Abraham-Louis Breguet earned the rights for a patent which would last for a ten year period for a new type of
In mechanical horology, it''s how you do what you''re doing that counts. Fun fact: A tourbillon is usually called a "complication," like a chronograph or perpetual calendar, but some purists balk because
The Hublot MP-10 Tourbillon Weight Energy System Titanium''s micro-blasted titanium case is sleek, innovative, and deceptively simple in images. Measuring in at 41.5mm wide and 54.1mm from (integrated) lug to lug, this roughly canteen-shaped case opts for smooth, uniform surfacing.

The tourbillon (French for "whirlwind") attempts to solve this. It is a gear mechanism that "rotates" the entire Balance Wheel around itself typically once a minute. When it does this, the balance wheel rotates through a full 360 degrees a minute. This averages out any of the unbalance caused by gravity.
Despite its complications, the Grand Deck Marine Tourbillon is water-resistant to a full 100 meters. The screw-in crown with blue rubber molding visually accentuates that styling. Ulysse Nardin Grand Deck Marine Tourbillon. This styling begins with the wood marquetry positioned to resemble the sun-soaked teak of a boat''s deck.

Abraham Louis Breguet patented the tourbillon in 1801. In his patent application, Breguet described his invention as a mechanism capable of minimizing the effects of gravity on the regulating organ and to enhance lubrication of the balance staff. Breguet designed the tourbillon to average out the irregularities in the rate of the
