Tourbillon Platinum Wristwatch by Leviev

This exceptionally rare luxury wristwatch by Leviev contains a tourbillon movement, one of the most complex and highly coveted mechanical movements to be found. Invented in 1795 by the famed watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet, the tourbillon was specially designed in order to combat the effects of gravity on the balance spring of a mechanical movement. The escapement and balance wheel are suspended within a cage that rotates on a circle, averaging out the errors caused by gravitational pull on the escapement mechanism. The result is a movement that is both highly precise and absolutely mesmerizing in action. Not only does this wristwatch keep time well, but it does so beautifully.

The sought-after movement is held in a sleek platinum case that tells the time on brass hands, while 60 white diamonds totaling approximately 0.21 carat lend a hint of brilliance to the clock face. A handsome alligator leather strap completes the rare timepiece.
