At the center of this timepiece is a one-minute flying tourbillon fitted with a cylindrical hairspring at 6 o’clock, showcasing the experience of H. Moser & Cie.’s sister firm, Precision Engineering AG. Invented within the 18th century, the cylindrical hairspring rises perpendicularly across the higher stem of the steadiness spindle. A frequent function of marine chronometers on the time, it provided the benefit of being developed concentrically. The cylindrical hairspring – fitted with two Breguet overcoils hooked up at two factors – reduces the friction of the pivots and improves the isochronism properties, all of the extra so if the hairspring is mixed with a tourbillon, as is the case right here.
