Watchmaking, Tourbillon Book in English available

[RollaArtis]

Hello Steffen - I think that a 1 minute rotation is too fast, and unnecessarily difficult to make. I know Breguet made them like this but I think he was just showing off as he did so often. His best watches with an echappement naturelle had a tourbillon of 4 mins rotation. What do you think?

@RollaArtis

Hello, I agree, but see, I favor this special Tourbillon like designed by manufactories, settled in this famous town Glashütte in Saxony, Germany, or there at the DUS (Deutsche Uhrmacher Schule) manufactured by the students.

The theory of the Tourbillion is to escape the effects of gravity on the timepiece...

@spahlow It's a like a big big smile. X = The closed/squinted eyes. D = The mouth. You know how when you smile really big your eyes get smaller? Well in this case, they completely closed There are others. They are meant to resemble faces. (: :( D: :D :/ -_- ^_^ like that.
