Reference: Regulating system Reference information: "The device governing tourbillon watches consists of a mobile carriage housing the movement’s regulating organs: namely the balance-wheel, balance-spring and escapement. The constantly spinning tourbillon subjects the regulating organ to a regular 360° rotation, thereby cancelling out over time gravity’s effects on the regulating system, and thus on the movement’s precision."
