Provenance:the watch comes from the most important watch collection of Mr Ferdinandov(the ex Bulgarian ambasador in China circa 1960's). His collection of Chinese watches and clocks is considered for the biggest in Eastern Euroe of over 2000 pieces. Brothers Henri-Louis and Philippe Auguste Courvoisier traded from 1842 on under the name "Courvoisier Fréres". When more brothers joined the partnership in 1882, they changed the company name to "Courvoisier Fils". Specialising in high quality watches, they were commissioned by the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds to create a watch for the Prussian King William IV; at the time this ultra-flat watch was supposedly the thinnest in the world. The tourbillon movement invented by the Swiss Paul Loichot (which he turned in the case so it would be visible face-sided) was patented for the Courvoisier brothers on July 4th, 1905 under the number 19062 and the name "Mobilis". Is an addition to the mechanics of a watch. Developed around 1795 and patented by the French-Swiss watchmaker. On June 26, 1801, a tourbillon aims to counter the effects of. In a rotating cage, to negate the effect of gravity when the timepiece (thus the escapement) is stuck in a certain position. By continuously rotating the entire balance wheel/escapement assembly at a slow rate (typically about one revolution per minute), positional errors are averaged out.

Originally an attempt to improve accuracy, tourbillons are still included in some expensive modern watches as a novelty and demonstration of watchmaking virtuosity. The mechanism is usually exposed on the watch's face to show it off. Get Supersized Images & Free Image Hosting. Create your brand with Auctiva's.
