The Trappist-1 Tourbillon features our signature method of time telling with orbiting moons as watch hands, the hours and minutes float above a slice of aventurine stone. Innovative, self-powered Swiss tritium tubes on the hands and hour markers provides a non-stop continuous glow for up to 25 years, enabling legibility even in total darkness.
A tourbillon is arguably one of the most difficult movements to make by hand. The escapement (hairspring, balance wheel, and pallet fork) is housed in a rotating cage that, because of the constant motion, averages out the effect of gravity when the watch is in different positions. They require a special set of tools and a lot of time to make. The tourbillon mechanism is tiny, weighing in at under a gram, and is usually crafted with more than 40 parts, typically finished by hand and made from lightweight metals like aluminum and titanium.
