Creative partnership A masterful new shape: The JACOB & CO. - Cyclone Tourbillon
The tourbillon was originally invented in 1801, and for most of its history, it was considered such a difficult complication to execute that to make one was the sign of a true master of horology. Yet virtually all tourbillons had the same basic design: a carriage containing all the escapement components, which revolves in order to combat the effects of gravity on the accuracy of the watch.
