continuously rotating tourbillon need to bypass a lot of energy, while its energy consumption is also proportional to the size of the frame, so the larger framework of the tourbillon, the required energy is also more. Since the energy provided by movement is limited, so to solve the problem of energy consumption, the most commonly used method is to reduce the movement of the vibration frequency as well as the size of the framework, which is narrow balance wheel size, and it will inevitably result in accurate reduce the degree of consequences. Division of the Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, this is an unacceptable solution, so they will begin designing a new balance wheel in order to let tourbillon frame size can provide the energy required to operate, but also to meet a vibration frequency of precise movements will be maintained at 28,800 times demand.
