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 Mr. Prescher's is flying in two axes and the Gubelin/Daners/Mueller piece is only single flying.
