The Tourbillon.....
Represents the pinnacle of watch making skill. This piece is an F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain Dead Seconds which features a seconds hand that moves one second at a time instead of sweeping. Also it has a "Remontoir" which looks like a little propeller on the back of the watch. This device keeps a constant force on the drive train that insures more accuracy even when the watch winds down to the end of its reserve. Journe is a highly accomplished French watchmaker who has won many awards including watch of the year (with this watch). He has also created such watches as the "Resonance" which is the only watch ever created that has dual movements that resonate against each other to keep in synchronization. His annual watch production is only about 500-700 pieces per year for all models. This watch is truely beautiful and is 40MM in Platinum with an 18K rose gold movement & dial.
