  • Out CH 691 831 is a tourbillon with a main bearing for supporting a bogie housing the tourbillon over the clockwork known in which the inner ring of the main bearing is operatively connected to the bogie housing of the tourbillon and the outer ring of the main bearing with the clockwork is fixedly operatively connected.
  • the object of the invention disclosed here is a tourbillon, respectively a tourbillon module with a maintenance-friendly, simple construction and improved Accuracy to show that has a particularly low height of the tourbillon when needed.
  • the tourbillon according to the invention preferably has a modular construction.
  • the actual tourbillon mechanism, including all essential parts, are preferably combined in a tourbillon module, which has a normalized interface to the rest of the movement and can be easily solved by this.
  • the tourbillon preferably has a platform which is mounted on one side (flying tourbillon).
  • a ball bearing main bearing
  • the platform and the outer ring can be formed in one piece if necessary.
  • the balls of the ball bearing substantially at the height of the platform. This has a positive influence on the height.
  • the inner ring of the central bearing of the platform is fixed to a base and does not rotate.
  • the bearing clearance can be easily adjusted, it is possible to design the inner and / or outer ring in two parts.
  • a balance is stored by means of an upper and a lower balance bearing. In certain embodiments, both balance bearings rotate with the platform. Alternatively, it is possible to arrange the lower balance bearing stationary on the side of the base. Depending on the design, this has an advantageous effect on the overall height.
  • the Tourbillon constructions known from the prior art generally have the disadvantage that an adjustment and maintenance of the tourbillon, respectively the bearings of the tourbillon, in the installed state is not possible. If a tourbillon is to be serviced, the entire movement usually has to be disassembled.
  • the tourbillon disclosed herein has a structure that allows easy maintenance.
  • the bearings are preferably arranged so that they can be easily controlled, adjusted and maintained even when installed.
  • the inner ring of the main bearing of the platform preferably has a diameter which is so large that the lower bearing of the balance (balance bearing) in his Center is located and if necessary, especially for maintenance purposes, is accessible.
