"Grand Tourbillon" located at 6 o’clock
With a rate of 4Hz and powered by a double barrel, it has an ample power reserve of 60 hours. Fitted with a fixed balance-spring support, balancing is achieved in a traditional manner, with the inertia adjusted by flyweights screwed directly onto the balance wheel. The diameter of the expansive tourbillon is in fact that of its escapement wheel. It completes one revolution every 60 seconds, meaning that it can double up as a second indicator.
Retrograde Minute and Jumping Hour
The display is the pure RESERVOIR watch brand’s signature, recalling the measuring instruments: a regulator-type dial indicating retrograde minutes on a 240° arc. The jumping hours are, typically, displayed in a large window in the remaining 120 degrees of space freed up by this arrangement
Upper bridge in the shape of the RESERVOIR signature
Rather than being fitted with a hand, the Tourbillon features a large upper bridge in the shape of the RESERVOIR logo. Collectors will instantly recognize this as the hallmark of a wholly proprietary Tourbillon, and undoubtedly take careful note of the fact. It’s a highly traditional horological design choice that resonates well with the historic nature of the venerable tourbillon, for which a patent request was first filed in 1801. To further highlight the prestige of the tourbillon and ensure the plate offsets it in suitably imposing fashion, the latter is anthracite grey and bead-blasted before an NAC finish is applied.
‘Chadburns’ inspired oscillating weight
To the rear, a transparent, non-reflective sapphire crystal reveals the oscillating weight. A specially engraved with ‘Chadburns’, the markings to be found on the controls of historic sea vessels or submarines: two sectors (ahead and astern) between which sits the ‘stop’ position, with the five engine speeds corresponding to each setting marked accordingly.
