* Invented by
Abraham Louis Breguet in 1795, the Tourbillon places the balance
wheel, escape lever, and escape wheel into a pivoting cage
oscillating and rotating itself around the axis of the frame every
60 seconds, acting also as a second hand. With this rotation of the
escapement, the effects of friction and earth’s gravity are
suppressed as all parts of the escapement are equally exposed to its
influence.
Few master
watchmakers are able to execute such an ingenious mechanism
requiring complex engineering skills and thus the Tourbillon remains
one of the most valued complications. Between 1795 and 1945, less
than 800 Tourbillons were made worldwide.
KULTUhR's distinct design combined with world renowned Swiss engineering
are the benchmarks in the creation of all its watches. This are what set our timepieces
apart from other watch houses and brands in today's markets. With KULTUhR timepieces,
your watch not only is a highly functional engineering marvel, it can also
serve as a trendy fashion accessory guaranteed to make heads turn wherever you go.
