Revolution 2 Tourbillon

The Révolution 2 device is the wrist-watch counterpart to the tourbillon. Since it was designed for the pocket watch, the « classical » tourbillon can only compensate for the negative influences of gravity in its vertical position. As a matter of fact, the carriage rotates on itself (i.e. one axis only). On the other hand, the Révolution 2 revolves around two axis and thus compensates for the effect of gravity both in the horizontal and in the vertical positions.
