How On Earth Does a Tourbillon Watch Work? | Watchfinder & Co.

- The tourbillon is perhaps the most impressive complication in watchmaking. It’s also not really a complication, nor is it, in a wristwatch, particularly useful. So, what is it, how does it work, and if it’s so useless, why are we so obsessed with it?

Beautiful watch. I have no idea what he's talking about though
He is saying whole lot of nothing
hahaha
lmfao
Ahaha Same didn't not understand a word was just watching the wheel spin but not sure why it needs to spin still cool though
Me too but what is tourbi)lion?

You have done your homework!
@@donjuan150 or is that your clockwork?
Lovely
You know this is an exquisite watch when you don't know if you're more impressed by the tourbillon or the 170 hr power reserve... just wow.
Imagine how difficult it must have been back in those days to do high-precision work at such a small scale.
That is why we are still praising their handiwork and craftsmanship over 200 years later. They were masterpieces back then.
It’s hard to fathom
Breguet actually developed the tourbrillon movement for pocket watches. The early pocketable time pieces of 200-300 years ago were notoriously inaccurate, and there was a great deal of interest in finding ways to improve them. The tourbillon allegedly did improve timekeeping but is little more than a fascinating decoration in today's purely mechanical wrist watches. I would have to say though that the three-axis tourbillons of Jacob&Co's Astronomia series are just glorious works of art, some of which cost more than $1 million. The Astronomia Typhoon is my personal favorite. I would really appreciate if Mr. Arabo would kindly ship one to me for posting this endorsement.
I always wondered how a tourbillon worked. This video answered so many questions. Except how to afford one.
You can get a decent one for under 100 dollars on Ali express. Just search Carnival tourbillion
@@NasirKhan-ye9tv You goofball...that's not a true tourbillon. Not even a good fake.
Have a look on Titan watches
SeaGull?
It is called getting a job.
Watchfinder's videos is my drug...... such a mesmerizing choice of words, addictive narrative, dopamine inducing play on words..... you guys are dope.....
kevin yap l couldn't agree more you have chosen my thought process ....cheers baden
Watchfinder’s videos are my “watch porn”!
The economy of language is amazing as well. Every word belongs.
when there is the best engineering from swiss watch, americans' brain goes white blank and say nothing about subject and praise the owner of channel instead and mass voting that to be a top comment. when there is mediocre engineering from japan, american go crazy and idol worship the subject with lies. I notice this happens in every other fields like cars etc etc...funny thing is these americans who know nothing about watches and cars think they are watch fans or car fans lol
@@polychronio Or maybe you are projecting your beliefs and ideas of americans onto comments that consist of a wild array of nationalities. Alleging a conspiracy of massvoting. because u want that to be.
I didn't understand a single thing. I stayed for the beautiful watch.
@5putput Ohh thanks I dont even know what that guy talking about xD
Yea, same here.
Just...beautiful. Abraham-Louis Breguet is a magician, he manage to capture time itself and make it seems beating like our heart.
“Appreciate every tick and every tock.” And there you have it. Why we love mechanical watches in a digital age! Great video!
And thus began the age of tik tok
These videos singlehandedly justify the existence of the internet.
I recently got into repairing a couple of Anniversary Clocks and really got to appreciate the work put into clock and watchmaking. I love mechanical devices of all types, especially old machines; it amazes me the ideas these men came up with and built by hand, sometimes in backyard sheds and with little engineering training.
As a machinist, it is amazing the accuracy and workmanship put into something as "simple" as a watch. This is a dying art, unfortunately.
Jacob and Co are still inventing crazy mechanical watches. Too bad it's only for the mega rich.
@@vinkniv they aren’t inventing anything my friend.
@@ACSwatches Show me something similar to a watch like the godfather on another brand. Or the bugatti watch.
@@vinkniv 👍.
As a video professional I am constantly in awe of your micro-videography skills and use of light. Well done!
Tolerances tighter than a supermarket parking space. Hahahaha
Dude... Right when he was saying that, i was reading your comment.
@@albertalmonte6045 exactly. I read the comment few milliseconds after he said tht
"Machinalis Ars Machinalis"
I have put this video into my favorites list. Why? Because, when the manic, hurried, crazy rush of the technological, digital and frenetically relentless pace of modern life becomes overwhelming, I can stop, slow down, and appreciate "every tick and every tock" of time as it passes.
Excellent video, everything about it is perfect: the writing, the narration and the cinematography. One of the best I've seen on CZcams lately.
I love watching the bottme purple windmill go. I could just sit in my desk gazing at it for a while.
I just love watching your videos. I get entangled by your word play, the ease of flow in the video with the narrative, it's amazing. Love this channel
Your channel videos, macro videos etc are truly excellent. Can't wait to see more.
Love your videos and the way you poetry behind it, the same of making watchs, the passion and the love behind every piece of it.
Great job. Thank you.
Those camera angles have leveled up a notch in recent videos. Amazing !
Another brilliant video! Loved watching every moment of it.
You guys are a major reason why I know, what I know about watches.
I am going to be honest, I haven't been watching your videos for couple of uploads, but after watching this today I became a fan again!! Much love and respect
2:15 Aliens reference... Bravo! Stayed frosty throughout this entire video.
There's always a smile hanging off my face after yet another one of your videos has been watched.. Keep em coming please :)
Wonderful macro photography!
Your description of and escapement is masterful!
Great video as always : it's the first time I gained a better understanding of the mechanism behind the complication. Absolutely fascinating:) Would love to learn more technical insight for other complications:)
An exceptionally beautiful, entertaining and informative clip. Excellent work. Thank you very much.
It's mind blowing watching such creative and impressive movement and design and especially for its time and period designed and thought of. Work of art.
It's the only channel that I subscribed... Only watching half of the videos content...... The nerration is marvelous...... Superb.... & effectively encapsulated content with awesome words
One of your best videos. Very well explained
If possible, please do a review on a multi-axis a.k.a. Gyrotourbillion. In addition, how does the aforementioned compare to a minute repeater, complexity wise? Keep the great content coming!
Minute repeaters are the most nuts but the cost increases to complexity ratio for that little performance is hilarious
Just one little remark, the tourbillon does not cancel the force of gravity but averages positional errors (due to the gravity) at the escapement!
Amazing video and presentation. Definitely piqued my interest and appreciation of these watches more❤
Absolutely beautiful explanation. I really enjoyed it and learned something new.
"Appreciate every tic and every toc" the essence of horology enthusiasts. Great words.
Beautifully made video and answers so many questions. It also reminds you to appreciate the beauty of craftsmanship and even though it's not necessary, why it absolutely is...
Beautiful video!!!
This channel made me fall in love with mechanical watches....subbed.
This channel is the gold standard of horological information and education. Keep up the great work!
Amazing video as usual!
This guy is a Master at combining Philosophy of life with Horology, and the fact that he knows quite a lot about Horology, makes his videos First Rate!!!! Some people here would not have any idea about Horology, but his talking points, and the nice images makes the whole experience a magnificent one.......
Beautifully done as usual 👌
Beautiful watch, beautiful narration
Watchfinder & Co. is quickly becoming my favourite channel. You are doing an incredible job. At the same time, I am becoming more and more frustrated with other watch reviewers who want us to respect their opinions even when they haven’t personally seen the watch(es) they review.
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you....
I loved your Tourbillon description ! thumbs up and Subscribed !
I just feel the need to say how wonderfully executed these videos are...upscale, purposeful, and intellectual.
These shots are beautiful!
@1:29 a string of gears... that feed the hands... to represent the passage of time : PRICELESS
Blessing😭😭😭 another watchfinder video
Very well explained. Thank you.
Simple to understand his logic, behind the format of a Tourbillion principles of mechanical movements! Beautiful!
Amazing video and history lesson. These videos makes my weeks
Enjoyed the video very much. Thanks 👍
great explanation!
Delicate beaty... Captivating story... Yet another exquisite video from Watchfinder&Co. !
‘Remember short controlled bursts’ - Corporal Dwayne Hicks ... you sir are a legend 😂😂
Haha! Great reference.
My faith in the universe is restored. Cannot believe how far I had to scroll to find this piece of cultural recognition in the comments. Stay frosty!!
Fascinating. I understand it now. Thank you!
I love to hear the ticking of a mechanical watch. I don't know why, it is just pleasant to me. That is a beautiful watch and I am fascinated by the level of craftsmanship it takes to create something so small and intricate.
It's just so satisfying to watch it's movement even though I could not understand a thing.
I really appreciated the finishing statement. Very true and accurate words.
As much as I love your chatty videos, I do love these deep dives the best. Bravo.
There is no scale to that Ulysse Nardin movement. Macro shots of it make it look like colossal gears of a clock tower. So impressive.
After seeing the new GS constant force Tourbillon movement - this video really helped!
What a wonderful explanation love the video
Love watching your videos
I just love watches of all kinds. Such an amazing piece of mechanical machinery. Love old adding machines and typewriters too...they just amaze me.
Brilliant invention and presentation
Fascinating Video, thank You!
Outstanding As Always... Great Information & Wordplay. “Cpl Hicks” Classic!
are you kidding this guy sucks. he cant explain anything,.
very well said at the end
Great video 👏
Excellent job..
Thank you, an easy to follow explanation of a fascinating part of the watchmakers art.
easy to follow. if you're already an expert on watches maybe.
Very impressive presentation😀
Thats it! When life gets to be a little fast and crazy I take some time out to stare and ponder at my watch. Puts things back in perspective
Thanks for this. This is mind blowing
I'm totally love this mechanism. I'm 3D printing one, the triaxial tourbillon. I've failed one, the escapement is jamming, but now I'll succeed
Wow! Appreciate Every Tic and every tock👏👏👏Nice Video
I love the narrations of these videos.
Watching this video with a Chinese Sea-Gull Tourbillon on my wrist, someday soon it shall be an A. Lange & Sohne.
Believe to achieve 👍
How is it working for you? I've ordered one last week because I won't be able to afford a better one for the foreseeable future
Lucky found a buyer for your kidney? If it falls through let me know all sell him mine.
@Magister Ludi Funny how PRC communist regime is now fascist.
@Magister Ludi I assume you do not buy clothes made in China or anything from Aliexrpess or anything super cheap and disposable then, right? Good for you
Superb video
Appreciate and respect the brilliant minds of the OG's.
such an amazing review
2:15 "Short and controlled bursts" Corporal Dwayne Hicks ... Aliens 1986 homage.
I watched the whole video but still have no idea what you just said, it was mesmerizing and I watched the whole thing without understanding a thing.
Fantastic. Never had any idea how it worked.
We are in for a treat when Watchfinder posts a video.
best explanation... so in simple words its like a spring or pendulum put into a rotary motion
You amaze me with your content. Even your hands talk !!
Thank you. Ivan ways hear people talking about that in videos on super high end watches. But never knew what it’s purpose was. And it’s incredible that someone made that by hand with no help from computers
It's amazing how a tourbillon and a carousel do not add a function or indication to the watch.. it's just beautiful and attracts your eyes!
i enjoy the inside of watches too, ever since i was a kid when i got my first cheap pocket watch and i had to open the back to see what made it tick. i still have a modest collection of watches and clocks today both mechanical and quartz.
This is some awesome content -- thank you!
Your videos are therapeutic 😌
Superb video. Easy to understand even to the novice collector
2:15 great reference 😂😂 caught me completely off guard
Didn't understand a bit of the mechanics behind.. but loved it..
