About Flying Tourbillon

The most remarkable part of this Cartier timepiece is the Flying Tourbillon itself. Do you know what the tourbillon is? A Tourbillon is a horological invention discovered in 1795 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the French watchmaker. A tourbillon is a device that neutralizes the effects of gravity. It works because of fascinating idea - to place the escapement and balance wheel inside a rotating frame. Ballon Bleu features a variation of the original tourbillon called Flying Tourbillon. It was created by Alfred Helwig - famous watchmaker who is also an instructor at the national School of Watchmaking in Germany. The Cartier Tourbillon is not supported by a bridge, being only kept by one side.
