Jules Audemars Ladies' Tourbillon


The Jules Audemars Ladies' Tourbillon is crafted in white or pink gold. The dial of the timepiece in natural white mother-of-pearl is skillfully engraved with a 'spiral' flinque motif. You will notice a diamond on the top of each Roman numeral. This way the watch's creators ensured harmony between the dial and gem-paved bezel.

However, when you see the timepiece, your attention will surely be drawn to 6 o'clock and paralyzed by the magic whirl of the tourbillon regulator, a complicated device considerably improving the precision of timekeeping.


The escapement organs (these are a wheel, lever and balance) are not assembled in a fixed position. They are found within a mobile carriage rotating once a minute, thus compensating for the gravity effects, particularly when the timepiece is found in a vertical position. One more fascinating detail is that the bridges are embellished with extremely small 'dancing spiral' motifs reflecting the great care given to the movement decoration. credit:watch-fashion
