HUBLOT TOURBILLON
The tourbillon remains one of the main horological complications, and without
doubt bears the mark of the most talented master watchmakers. It consists in
a mechanism designed to improve watch precision, by compensating for the
interference due to the Earth's gravity. The balance and escapement are in a
cage driven around on its own axis, which completes one rotation per minute.
Besides its technical function, the tourbillon provides visual appeal, through its
rotating cage, thanks to its aesthetics and to the beauty of the workings of its
escapement.
Hublot is revisiting tourbillon watches in its own fashion, in a modern and con-
temporary re-interpretation, while upholding respect for watchmaking tradition.
