Blancpain Carrousel Répétition Minutes Chronographe Flyback Hands-On
The tourbillon will always hold a special place in the world of high-end mechanical watchmaking. Although not a complication in its own right, many a word (and a picture) has been devoted to describing the beauty of this intricate and often mesmerizing escapement. Such is its complexity that to successfully build one is often seen as a coming of age event for talented watchmakers seeking to establish a name for themselves in the highly competitive world of independent watchmaking.
The flip side to this popularity of course is that the luxury watch market is brimming ? to the point of saturation – with tourbillon-equipped timepieces. Some, like the descriptively named Arnold & Son Double Tourbillon Escapement, have made the tourbillon (or in this case tourbillons) the focal point of their timepieces. Others meanwhile hide them away ? think De Bethune?s gorgeous DB25 LT Tourbillon – reserving the privilege of appreciating their beauty for their owners alone. Regardless of your preference however one thing is for sure, there are a lot of tourbillon timepieces out there. This is not a bad thing of course, in fact depending your perspective it can be seen as rather a good thing but if there is one thing watch collector?s love, it?s a bit of variety. Enter the Blancpain Carrousel Répétition Minutes Chronographe Flyback, a wonderfully complicated timepiece from Blancpain?s exclusive Le Brassus collection.
