One of the most rewarding features of this Luxury Timepiece is the Flying Tourbillon. A Tourbillon is a watchmaking wonder invented in 1795 by French watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet. It is postulated that a tourbillon counters the effects of gravity by placing the escapement and balance wheel in a rotating cage, supposedly in order to negate the effect of gravity. This watch houses a Flying Tourbillon ,a variation of the original tourbillon, created by Alfred Helwig, an instructor at the German School of Watchmaking. The Flying Tourbillon is neither supported by a bridge or cock, at both the top and bottom, rather it is cantilevered, being only supported by one side.
The placement of the Cartier's Flying Tourbillon is designed to display the aesthetic appeal of this luxurious timepiece. The flying tourbillon with its C-shaped cage indicates the seconds.
