The master watchmaker therefore set out to use his extensive understanding of mathematics and physics to reduce the rate deviation to an absolute minimum. He found that the key lay in the balance wheel – the part most affected by gravity. He placed these highly sensitive components in a cage, which in turn rotated around its own axis once a minute. Thus, the tourbillon as we know it today was born. To apply this visionary spirit to today, Breguet’s inventions were about as significant to traditional watchmaking as Steve Jobs’ inventions were to the digital world. Today, the tourbillon mechanism remains an integral part of many Breguet timepieces, and is now being introduced to the Marine collection in the form of the Marine Tourbillon 5577...................
