UNESCO Honors Watchmaking as Cultural Heritage
Who invented the tourbillon watch?
The tourbillon watch, a testament to precision and innovation in horology, was unveiled in 1795 by Swiss-French watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet. Born from a pursuit of accuracy, the tourbillon countered gravitational effects on the balance wheel, a challenge in pocket watches of the era. This intricate mechanical system, housed in a rotating cage, averaged out positional errors caused by gravity, elevating watchmaking to new heights. Over time, the tourbillon evolved into a symbol of haute horlogerie, showcasing craftsmanship and artistry.
Despite technological advances, it persevered as a symbol of mechanical mastery. In the 21st century, watchmakers push boundaries with modern materials, creating tourbillons of unprecedented precision. Owning a tourbillon became a status symbol, celebrating the journey of innovation and passion in timekeeping. The tourbillon is not just a timekeeping mechanism; it's a journey through centuries of craftsmanship and human ingenuity, leaving an indelible mark on the world of horology.
