Revolution 2 Tourbillon is a wristwatch by Franck Muller.
With this 2003 presented luxury wristwatch Franck Muller for the first time extends the previous construction of a tourbillon rotating on one plane to one more dimension. Now the tourbillon cage rotates also spatially, ie in the third dimension. Hence the name “Revolution”, which applies here actually in many respects. Another term is double-axis tourbillon.
The watch is powered by a manual winding movement that has the high power reserve of 80 hours available. The case is kept in the Franck-Muller-typical “Cintrée Curvex” form. In accordance with the special occasion it is made of platinum.
