Born from the brilliant mind of a man who had already carved out a successful career for him-self, the Tourbillon has never been as vital to fine horology as it is today. An exquisite mechanism of unrivaled complexity, the invention lies at the heart of a genuine human adventure that, to this day, contributes extensively to the reputation of its creator Abraham-Louis Breguet and his House.
Regarded as one of the greatest complications of all time, it continues to flourish at the House of Breguet, its custodian. But it has also been adopted by a number of other watchmaking brands, since Breguet only patented it in 1801 and for merely 10 years! Throughout the 19th century, it inspired other engineers, among them Bahne Bonniksen who, based on the observations made by Breguet, invented the carousel.
The fascination with Breguet’s invention derives from its very genesis: The Tourbillon is more than just a mechanical work of art – it is the result of a precise study of physics, a human adventure and an industrial saga in its own right. In 2021, the House of Breguet intends to commemorate its founder’s ingenuity and the adventure that is the Tourbillon through various events and the celebration of a new model on June 26. On this day in 1801 – the “7th Messidor of the year IX” as it was referred to in post-revolutionary France – obtained its patent!
