Tourbillon... It's a very expensive complication, acquired by the smallest fraction of collectors and the fantasy of all others, due not only to its extraordinary difficulty in obtaining, but its exorbitant price tag often exceeding $100,000!

Tourbillon was invented in the 18th century by Abraham Louis Breguet, one of the worlds greatest watch makers. Breguet developed the tourbillon to address his theory that watches lost and gained time due to gravity and the gravitational pull on the watch itself. To design a more accurate timepiece he invented the tourbillon in order to combat the influence of gravity.

Tourbillion is a very complicated device designed to rotate the balance, lever and escapement as a unit around a single axis. Tourbillon reacts to the ever-changing angle of the watch as it is worn while remaining connected to the rest of the watch mechanics. This complication theoretically averted irregularities caused to the motion of the balance wheel arising from gravitational pull, thus resulting in a more accurate timepiece. Today it is coveted more as an achievement of extreme complication and rarity than its theoretical fight against gravity.
