Le Brassus Turbilhão Carrousel

For the first time in watchmaking history, Blancpain brings together two of the most fascinating regulating organs within a single timepiece: a flying tourbillon and a flying carousel.

The Le Brassus Tourbillon Carrousel is an exceptional creation that invites the eye to explore both the similarities and the differences between these two mechanisms, united by a common purpose: compensating for the effects of gravity on the watch’s precision. While they share the same objective, they differ in their architecture and mechanical complexity, with the carousel distinguished by its particularly sophisticated construction. In this model, the two independent cages are connected by an ingenious differential gear system that transmits the average rate of both regulators to the time display. A single crown simultaneously winds the two barrels, providing an impressive seven-day power reserve.

A movement of such extraordinary sophistication is matched by an equally remarkable aesthetic. The 44.6 mm red gold case frames a dial featuring a Grand Feu enamel chapter ring with applied gold numerals. Its open-worked architecture reveals the captivating kinetic beauty of the two regulators in constant rotation, while a large aperture offers a fascinating view of the mechanical components in motion.
