The tourbillon was first theorized by John Arnold, Breguet's close friend, but died before he could actually make one. Breguet gave the first tourbillon to Arnold's son who had apprenticed under Breguet. Breguet had also sent his own son to apprentice under Arnold - they were that tight.

Brilliant piece of information 🎉

Man, I just started 3D printing and thought I'd just end up printing random bits of plastic. The quality and ingenuity of your designs are really inspiring and I look forward to following along with your new 100 day challenge.

Gyro tourbillons weren't invented in 1800-1900 for pocket watches. The single axis tourbillon were invented in that period and were used to average out positional deviations of the balance wheel. You can adjust a watch to be accurate to one orientation but it'll deviate if you put it in a different orientation because of gravity. A tourbillon tries to average out the different deviations so that the watch is more accurate

It’s spelt “tourBILLON” not “….BILLION”. Funnily enough I made that exact same mistake about 15 minutes ago when I first read up about the “tourbillon” in watches! The reason I looked it up at all was because I was curious why “billion” was in that word! I though it was trying to “big up” the watch…like it was really expensive or something! Lol! That shows how ignorant I am of horology.

No, just accustomed to casual miracles. There is an electronic circuit with more components then that entire watch, operating on timings hundred of times as precise, and so small that it could sit happily on the tourbillon’s hairspring, whose entire function is to read the inputs on your keyboard (Or touchscreen, if you’re on a phone.) That’s to say nothing of the feats of international co-orperation, decades of research by thousands of engineers and computer scientists, and the labour of millions to create a wold-wide information network to carry this video, to you, for the cost of a few advertisements. And you consider these feats, unthinkable to humanity at the time of the Tourbillon’s invention, so mundane and trivial you consider humanity to have *regressed.*

I've wanted to know about this for about 10 years now.

That is so cool! At first I was like this reminds me of a watch and as I watched and learned so much more I was right. Great educational video bro ❤

Yooo, thats cool looking!!

Traditionally, high-end watches use tourbillon to negate the effects of gravity on the pallet fork, balance wheel and hairspring (especially the hairspring).

I love this,I want one.❤️

This would be a nice little fun desk toy to have

I am gobsmacked - I thought the tourbillon was just a gimbal cage that let the drive mechanism stay upright no matter what orientation the watch was in (not sure how I thought power was transferred from a free-rotating gimbal cage to a watch). This makes SO much more sense

I don't think you're wrong though. There's no room for the mechanism to freely spin in the watches like that. They would have to be extremely thick. Unless the workings have changed for wrist watches today and he's showing an older traditional.

Although the build quality is such that that a non-tourbillon watch would be far more accurate To be fair, most of the tourbillon watches also come with materials+brand that justify the price. When I was bought the wife's wedding ring (at Cartier) after I paid I asked to try on their £120k watch for a minute and it honestly was impressive. I could imagine wearing that thing and asking anyone for anything, I can honestly see why top businessmen get in on the expensive watch thing, it just fills you with the idea that you own a room. (I didn't get it, although I do have an expensive Breitling)

I think that it'd be neat to make that contraption with a mount to hold a cheap mechanical watch as a place to keep the watch when not on the owner's wrist, so that it keeps better time, reducing the inaccuracies to just the daytime when the owner is wearing it. Also, I'd like to see a 3D printed "Curta," a mechanical calculator.

So if you have a cnc or laser cutter you could scale down the 3d print models, assemble and make a $500k watch at home since linking this to the hands of the watch itself would just be a manner of setting up gear reduction sizes so it moves at the right rates on each hand. Quite fidly and fine in the nature of the work outside of using it for wall clocks but if you could even get a return a fraction of the $500k pricemark such pieces go for you could start a business marketed toward exclusivity and elite product lines.

it is not exactly anti-gravity, per se. You see as it rotates the gravity pulls it down from another angle which effectively just makes it more accurate than your regular movement. In your average watch gravity pulls on one single side, but on a tourbillion it is evenly distributed.
