Video Description
A tourbillon (French for "whirlwind") is a centuries-old mechanism built inside some of the world's most expensive watches. It was originally designed to improve the accuracy of pocket watches by rotating the escapement and balance wheel to help counter the effects of gravity. Today, collectors consider tourbillon watches works of fine art. The construction and assembly of the mechanism is very time-consuming and requires extreme precision and patience. Tourbillon watches' complex design, combined with their limited production, contributes to their exclusivity and high price tags. Remy Cools, an independent watchmaker based near Lake Annecy in France, is working on his second limited-edition release of 36 tourbillon watches, called the Tourbillon Atelier, which will sell for about $172,000 each. On the lower end, you may find some entry-level tourbillon watches for $30,000. However, most tourbillon watches from reputable brands range from $100,000 to several million dollars. ------------------------------------------------------ #watches #soexpensive #businessinsider MORE SO EXPENSIVE VIDEOS: Why Pedal Harps Cost As Much As A Car To Buy And Maintain | So Expensive | Business Insider https://youtu.be/r3xzJbXy1eU What Happens To Mount Everest's Over 110,000 Pounds Of Waste? | Inside Everest | Business Insider https://youtu.be/8yo7hskqSg0 Why Real Egyptian Cotton Is So Expensive | So Expensive | Business Insider https://youtu.be/p1PEUGGTv4w Business Insider tells you all you need to know about business, finance, tech, retail, and more.
