Revolution Tourbillon

This particularly sophisticated model is a « flying tourbillon ». By pushing the button on the left-hand side of the case, the tourbillon carriage rises up to the level of the sapphire glass and stays there until the push-button is released. Simultaneously to this maneuvering, the hour and minute hands sweep to 12 o'clock. Upon release of the push-button, they fly back to the exact time. This complication is protected by several patents.
