Since Abraham Louis Breguet filled the patent for the tourbillon in 1801 this complication has pretty much remained the same. It was only in the early 2000s that watchmakers started to push the envelope of this complication coming up with ingenious ways to revolutionise how a tourbillon functions. Franck Muller is one of them. Since 1983 the eponymous founder has been presenting many world premieres movements and patents and since the 2000s has even reimagined what a tourbillon can be.
