Etienne Ruffieux has worked for high-luxury brands such as Zenith, Pamigiani, and Gucci. This is a tourbillon designed by him for AGELOCER.
AGELOCER take modern architecture as inspiration for our watch design and create a floating castle between our wrists. Remove the traditional dial to allow the wearer to clearly see the light and shadow produced by the hollowed-out skeleton of the movement, expressing an unprecedented architectural design aesthetics.

Free-sprung flying tourbillon
Different from traditional movements, the free-sprung eliminates the balance-spring speed regulator clamp, avoiding the problem of increased error caused by the displacement or loosening of the hairspring speed regulator clamp. On the other hand, the free-sprung has higher requirements for material performance and processing precision, which greatly improves the watch's ability to maintain long-term working accuracy and makes the watch more accurate and stable.

Free-sprung flying tourbillon
In the past, only high-luxury Swiss watches had a Free-sprung flying tourbillon movement. Now applied to this watch this watch, the tourbillon has a vibration frequency of 28800 vibrations per hour (4HZ), and the time and date error is controlled within ±15 seconds. This is the best choice for mechanical watch players.
80 Hour power reserve
Many tourbillons priced at six figures only about 40 hours of power reserve. however, the AGELOCER tourbillon adopts advanced double-barrel linkage technology and achieves an astonishing 80-hour power reserve, increasing the power reserve by 100%! The design of the double barrel can make the energy release of the spring more uniform and stable, improving the stability and accuracy of the watch's travel time. This technology has obtained Chinese utility model patents and Chinese invention patents.
25 Ruby bearings (Jewels)
The ruby bearings in the movement mainly play a role in reducing friction. Compared with metal bearings, it can greatly reduce friction and make power transmission more efficient. Even after long-term use, ruby bearings can still maintain their shape and performance, reducing the probability of movement failures caused by bearing damage.
316L Stainless Steel Case
Professional watchmakers give the stainless steel case an exquisite metal brushed and polished finish through manual polishing, presenting an exquisitely luxurious aesthetic.
Sapphire watch glass
AGELOCER uses the same sapphire glass material as high-luxury watches on both the watch crystal and the case back. The 5N (99.999%) high-purity sapphire glass, after anti-glare treatment, makes the watch more transparent and flawless.
Genuine leather strap
Agelocer adopts traditional Italian hand-made leather craftsmanship, selects high-quality water-dyed craft leather, and uses "double-needle saddle stitching" technology to sew it all by hand, bringing a more comfortable and advanced wearing experience.
Over 500 Hours of Crafting
Each watch will be carefully crafted by watchmakers for over 500 hours and has undergone a 2-week precision test and a 50 meter depth waterproof test.

FAQs
What is a tourbillon?
The tourbillon is an invention of the famous watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet. It is to counteract the adverse effects of gravity on the accuracy of its timepieces.
Breguet's solution was to create an escapement that was always in motion. The escapement, called the tourbillon (French for "whirlwind"), is housed in a rotating cage that, due to its constant motion, balances the effects of gravity when the watch snaps into different positions.
They are still common in the highest echelons of the watch market. Most Swiss-made examples start at around $40,000, with price tags regularly breaking the six digits barrier.
This is because the tourbillon is arguably one of the most difficult movements to craft by hand. Tourbillon mechanisms are small, weighing less than a gram, and are typically made of more than 40 parts, hand-finished from lightweight metals such as aluminum and titanium. They require a special set of tools and a lot of time to make. For example, it takes 18 months to make just one Lange Tourbograph Pour le Merite, its tourbillon chronograph movement.
I see a $100 tourbillon - what's the difference?
All in all, those are not tourbillons.
These crooks try to pass off the "bare pendulum" as a real tourbillon. They trick customers into thinking they can see some simple gear and equate it to a tourbillon. Because the platforms (Aliexpress, Amazon, ebay, etc.) allow them to do so, they are allowed to advertise in this confusing and potentially malicious way.
Is your tourbillon real?
Either have the ability to do it or you don't, counterfeit tourbillons don't exist. Tourbillons are feats of technology and creativity that are as beautiful as they are difficult to make by hand. AGELOCER has the ability to make it happen.
We do not drive up prices, and rely on a strong supply chain and years of technology accumulation to manufacture world-class tourbillons.
