Tourbillon is a watch setting mechanism invented by Swiss watchmaker Louis Breguet in 1795. Tourbillon in French (which is why it is sometimes called "tebilon") means "vortex" and refers to mechanical watches equipped with a "rotating escapement adjustment mechanism". The tourbillon mechanism is designed to correct the error caused by gravity on watch parts. Tourbillon watches represent the highest level of mechanical watchmaking craftsmanship; The entire escapement adjustment mechanism is brought together and made rotatable, and it rotates continuously at a certain speed, minimizing the effect of gravity on the "escapement system" in the mechanical watch, thus increasing the processing precision. Thanks to its unique way of working, it has brought the movement aesthetics of the watch to its peak and has long been known as the "king of watches".
