Tourbillon: A device in a mechanical watch that eliminates timekeeping errors caused by the slight difference in the rates at which a watch runs in the horizontal and vertical positions. The tourbillon consists of a round carriage, or cage, holding the escapement and the balance. It rotates continuously at the rate of once per minute.

Has a watch ever been powered by a gyroscope?

LOL!!! Just make sure you read the fine print.. Be a real shame to buy that watch & find out later it'll cost you 2 ARMs & now you have a watch you can't wear!!! :scared: :scared: :scared:

I think you can do it. The way the government is bailing out other ARMs, why not? I will take TWO please!

JLC made a "Gyro Tourbillon" that holds the tourbillon within a gyroscope, as far as I can tell, and its literally defies gravitation restraints on a watches timekeeping ability. Pretttty amazing mechanics.
