correlation between the 3 axes and 3 torques.Doesn't one barrel equal one provider of torque? Two barrels, two torques? It might even be argued in this twin barrel setup, that there is in fact only one torque driving the mechanism - if I understand it correctly which is probably unlikely.
Whatever the arrangement with the barrels,surely there is one one torque driving the tourbillon no matter how many axes it turns on?
Is there really 'Three Torques' or does it just sound good - a nice alliteration?

Could you please tell us the differences between this and the other 2 3D tourbillons - or is it using one of the other systems under licience?
it rotates along three different axes

Hi Ian, The two dual axis torubillon released last year were just that: rotating along two axes. The escapement in this piece rotates along three axes. In that way it is similar to Thomas Prescher's latest creation, the most dramatic difference being that...

Dear John, if we take a ballbearing flying The correct description should be. G?belin two axis fling TAT three axis flying. How do you think about it? Thomas
