In horology, a tourbillion () or tourbillon (; French: [tuʁbijɔ̃] "whirlwind") is an addition to the mechanics of a watch escapement to increase accuracy. Conceived by the British watchmaker and inventor John Arnold, it was developed by his friend the Swiss-French watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet and patented by Breguet on 26 June 1801. In a tourbillon, the escapement and balance wheel are mounted in a rotating cage, with the goal of eliminating errors of poise in the balance giving a uniform weight. Tourbillons are still included in some modern wristwatches, where the mechanism is usually exposed on the watch's face to showcase it. Historically, Breguet’s tourbillon was conceived to counteract the adverse effects of gravity on a pocket watch’s regulating system, particularly in vertical positions. Pocket watches were typically worn vertically in waistcoat pockets, which led to gravitational distortion of the hairspring. The tourbillon aimed to average out these positional errors by rotating the entire escapement and balance wheel through a full 360 degrees at regular intervals. While its chronometric advantage has long been debated, the tourbillon came to be regarded as a hallmark of horological mastery due to the extraordinary craftsmanship required to construct and regulate it. The rarity of tourbillons persisted for nearly two centuries, with fewer than a thousand believed to have been made between 1801 and 1945. These were often crafted by highly skilled artisans for submission to observatory trials. Notable among early examples is the Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges, first conceptualized in 1884 and manufactured by Ernest Guinand—who also built movements for Patek Philippe. Other innovators, such as Albert Potter and Bahne Bonniksen (inventor of the karrusel, a related rotating escapement platform), further diversified the complication’s evolution. The tourbillon’s application in wristwatches did not begin until the mid-20th century. Early wristwatch tourbillons were made in very limited quantities, including pieces by Patek Philippe, Lip, and Omega. In 1986, Audemars Piguet revitalized interest in the tourbillon with the launch of Calibre 2870—the world’s first automatic tourbillon wristwatch. With a titanium cage just 7.2mm wide and a total movement height of 2.5mm, it marked a technical milestone and became a catalyst for the tourbillon’s modern resurgence.
