9 Smoking Hot Tourbillon Timepieces of All Time

Extravagance knows no boundary when obsession is at stake! And when the objet d'interest is a watch you aren't left with much of a choice. 

Watches add an element of swag to your persona & complete you. 

Luxury timepieces are known for their complications. Speaking of which, I am reminded of Tourbillon, a feature in mechanical watches that has been the fulcrum of attraction among the discerned collectors of Horological masterpiece.  

Tourbillion was designed to enhance the accuracy of the timekeepers in the first place, but with the passage of time it left a whole lot of luxury watchmakers wanting. 

Technically speaking, the balance wheel of a watch oscillates at different rates causing minute variation in the output. 

The reason behind variation could be gravitational bias or change in atmospheric condition. 

In a tourbillon watch, the balance wheel is mounted on a rotating cage so that it embraces all the positions equally and strikes off any possibility for the slightest of variation. 

Now that you are aware of the fundamentals, I present before you the list of 9 most sophisticated Tourbillon timepieces ever.
