Unlike traditional tourbillon features, it is neither mounted on the movement’s main plate nor in an overlying bridge. Tourbillon with a peripherally mounted rotating carriage. With the tourbillon of Carl F. Bucherer, the mounting of the carriage is ensured by three ceramic ball bearings, which support and guide the bearing wheel at its circumference.

These can be adjusted by an eccentric mechanism to set the clearance optimally. In comparison to conventional tourbillons, this construction allows for a lower height and an unhindered view of the rotating carriage from both sides.

What is peripheral technology? It means that parts are not mounted centrally on their axes but rotate around their own peripheries on ceramic ball bearings. This allows for thinner watches and an unobstructed view of the corresponding elements, a feature that is very attractive to watch enthusiasts and aficionados.
