Mobilus Tourbillon Pocket Watch with Superb Floral Embossed 16-Size Silver Case

An extra sharp tourbillion with a great-embossed case. Mobilus is referred to as “the poor man’s tourbillion.”

Tourbillon—this expensive feature was originally designed to make the watch more accurate, but is now simply a demonstration of watchmaking virtuosity. In an ordinary watch the balance wheel oscillates at different rates, because of gravitational bias, when the watch is in different positions, causing inaccuracy. In a tourbillon, the balance wheel is mounted in a rotating cage so that it will experience all positions equally. The mechanism is usually exposed on the face to show it off.
