tourbillon

 A tourbillon is a mechanical component in some high-end watches. It is a rotating cage designed to improve the accuracy of the timekeeping by compensating for the effects of gravity on the movement of the watch. The tourbillon was invented by Breguet in the late 18th century and is considered a complex and prestigious feature in luxury watchmaking. The rotating cage typically houses the escapement and balance wheel, continuously turning to counteract positional errors that can affect the accuracy of the watch. Watches with tourbillons are often regarded as intricate pieces of craftsmanship and are sought after by watch enthusiasts.
