Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1686435A2] The timepiece has a movement incorporating a tourbillon mechanism which has a single frame carrying a spiral balance (15). The frame is formed of a cradle (13), and intermediate and upper tourbillon bridges (18, 22). The frame rotates around an axis (X-X) forming an angle, between 0 to 90 degrees, with the plane of movement of the timepiece. The rotational axis of the balance forms an angle between 45 and 90 degrees with the axis (X-X).
