Moreover this Automaton wall clock is much bigger than the other ones. In horology, a tourbillon (/trbljn/; French: [tubij] "whirlwind") is an addition to the mechanics of a watch escapement. Developed around 1795 and patented by the French-Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet on June 26, 1801, a tourbillon aims to counter the effects of gravity by mounting the escapement and balance wheel in a rotating cage, to negate the effect of gravity when the timepiece (thus the escapement) is stuck in a certain position.
By continuously rotating the entire balance wheel/escapement assembly at a slow rate (typically about one revolution per minute), the tourbillon averages out positional errors. Our wooden clock is made of many layers of Baltic birch, painted wood stain and acrylics.Handcrafted galvanized brass screws are used in the clock. The clock can be personalized (any name on clock face instead `Automaton` +10USD).
