The flying tourbillon is a skewed construction with no bridge holding the regulator. This provides an unhindered view of its mechanical processes. Entirely manufactured in-house, including the balance,hairspring and spiral, it performs a rotation per minute and oscillates at 21’600 vibrations per hour.
The La Chaux-de-Fonds Tourbillon case back is engraved with a gears motif. A small circular opening around the tourbillon reveals a captivating ballet from multiple angles, lending light to these exceptional mechanics.
