The Tourbillon is to the pocket watch what the Revolution 2 is to the wristwatch. Because it was designed for a pocket watch, the ?traditional? tourbillon can only offset the negative effects of terrestrial gravity in its vertical position. In fact, the cage only turns in one direction. The Revolution 2, which was designed for a wristwatch, offsets the disruptive effects of gravity in vertical and horizontal positions, since the cage turns on two axes. To become a reality, the Tourbillon Revolution 2 required the implementation of perfect expertise in the most advanced watchmaking techniques. This special timepiece is therefore the result of several years of research and development and significant human and financial investments.
