The tourbillon and the carrousel (also spelled karussel) are among the great achievements aimed at reducing the effects of Earth's gravity on a movement’s operation. Presented as a world first in 2013, the Villeret Tourbillon Carrousel demonstrated Blancpain's ability to create extremely complex mechanical masterpieces by combining these two regulators in a wristwatch by means of Calibre 2322: a flying tourbillon at 12 o'clock and a flying carrousel at 6 o'clock, along with a date display at 3 o'clock.
