Karrusel

Karrusel

Karrusel, also spelled as Carousel, is a horological complication that is similar to a tourbillon in terms of its purpose to improve timekeeping accuracy in mechanical watches. It was invented by Danish watchmaker Bahne Bonniksen in the late 19th century. The Karrusel mechanism consists of a rotating platform or carriage that holds the balance wheel, escapement, and other regulating components. Unlike a tourbillon, which typically rotates on its axis once per minute, the Karrusel rotates at a slower rate, typically once every few minutes. This rotation helps to counteract the effects of gravity on the balance wheel and improve the watch's overall precision.
