Blancpain - Focus On The Tourbillon Carrousel

Imagine a watch that ends a long and passionate debate. And imagine that this watch has two spectacular hearts. The Tourbillon Carrousel fits this definition as it is the only watch that unites two famous inventions designed to average out the impact of gravity on a movement. For years, enthusiasts have confused these two mechanisms, but their construction styles differ. Have a look at how Blancpain united inventions by Abraham-Louis Breguet and Bahne Bonniksen in one watch.

That's an historically important piece. Stunning

[@wmrustycox]

What a beautiful time piece !!!

[@angrydachshund]

Yes. It's like a solid-gold washboard, with carbon-fiber frame and hand-engraved washing ribs set with diamonds and sapphires. It is the most complex and expensive washboard in the world... and you can use it to wash your clothes, just like they did 100 years ago!
Or you could just buy a Maytag.

Great video. Very educational thank you

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks for your comment!

[@alexvpaq]

This watch is fantastic and beautiful however it's out of my price range forever. Is there any ''affordable'' watch with a carrousel or a tourbillon or something similar that would be interesting/quirky to look at?

[@jimrees1778]

Check out the Caliber BL model from Parnis.org. It has the "windmill" style showing at the 6 o'clock position which is fun to watch, kind of like a tourbillion, plus it has a power reserve indicator, and the watch is beautiful. It also has the excellent Seagull movement which is famous for quality, and comes with a 2 year warranty. I have one, cost around a hundred, and love it.

Check out Akribos Tourbillion

Am I the only one who noticed that the roman 4 is supposed to be written as IV, not IIII as shown in the video? If there's a reason behind it, please tell me as I dont know much about watches' history

[@watchestv-com]

Hello Tom Le Manh, here is an explanation: www.hautehorlogerie.org/en/encyclopaedia/glossary-of-watchmaking/s/roman-numerals-1/

[@KRaikkonenSF]

besides, IIII was also used in ancient Rome, in lieu of IV. The 'IIII' even seems to pre-date 'IV'

[@RHH911]

Very cool watch! Nice video

[@richardr2555]

Ray Aznable I watched it again at 0:35 he says it was invented in 1796. I think you heard it backwards as 1769.

The background music (both genre choice and volume) kills the otherwise amazing piece of ultimate horology

[@S9vi]

Ничего не понял , но очень интересно .

[@jwd9297]

2 tourbillions.Great.

[@porschecarrera3684]

every company is trying to make Tourbilon because they can sell it with 6 figures with just one piece of watch.

[@ToxopIasmosis]

who cares? if the result is something as beautiful as this Blancpain then i don't see the problem lol there are never too much beautiful watches.

[@porschecarrera3684]

KidWeazel a more affordable price would be better

[@ToxopIasmosis]

***** but then that ruins the exclusivity of it.

[@porschecarrera3684]

KidWeazel Good things should be sharing in a more affordable price for most people. Not only the richest 1% or 0.1% people.

[@ToxopIasmosis]

***** what makes these watches so desirable is that they are hard to acquire therefor when you do somehow get to own one, you feel a sense of accomplishment.If this watch was a mere $6k (imo $6k is the cheapest a good watch should be) then any watch collector could have one making it less desirable to own as you won't feel special.Or atleast i wont lol but i respect your opinion.

[@Carlentinesexclusives]

👌👌👌

[@mr.knight4110]

I bought the exact same clone of this watch for 1100$ , good price

[@jonasguelat348]

No, you bought a copy. Which is illegal and definitely doesn’t have the same quality and craftsmanship.
