"Tourbillon was the most people to accept a high degree of a complex feature." Piaget Ma Wenxing, general manager of China said, "Compared to complex functions such as calendar and more ornamental."

This is one of the 18 century the mechanical innovations to create a mechanism to diminish the force of gravity on the watch for the timing error produced by the students. In wearing the old pocket watch, often with vertical ground state is close up in the pocket, the balance springs long-term direction of gravity by a single constraint, thereby affecting the reduction of Zhang's concentric circles, etc.. The Tourbillon sucked control the time and the accuracy of the balance wheel escapement, placed in a rotation by the gear-driven framework, in the rotation during the process of gravity springs scattered throughout to offset the gravity of the system , and improve the accuracy of travel time. However, the structure is also required for tourbillon in a limited space built into a large number of parts, and repeatedly adjust the subject before and after assembly, production is extremely time-consuming and labor.

Although Earl "Jewelry Watch" fame outside, in fact, from the Earl of founder Georges Edouard Piaget in 1874 in La Cote-aux-Fées establishment watches studio, to today in Geneva, Plan-les-Ouates new plant, Piaget never stop Tourbillon movement, represented by complex functions of the Exploration.

In 2002, more than 3 years in the time-consuming research and development under the count watch sector launched a breathtaking rise to the hands of self-600P chain tourbillon movement, the movement is only 3.5 mm thick, as in the history of the most thin rectangular tourbillon movement . This ultra-thin Tourbillon, also embedded in the watch enough diamonds possible.
