It has been a phenomenal year for the watch world. To round off 2022, we are celebrating the hits, the wonders, the visionaries and all the people in watchmaking who have made it so memorable in our annual Revolution Awards and Power Lists.
The Tourbillon remains a great indicator of technical ability and artistic expression, and this year, the winner was clear. The dramatic Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon from Grand Seiko.
The Grand Seiko Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon is a clear winner as it combines a stop-seconds tourbillon with a constant-force mechanism in a format that is optimal and rarely executed. Since François-Paul Journe introduced the first tourbillon wristwatch with a remontoir in 1991, there have been a number of watches on the market that combine a torque regulating mechanism with a tourbillon. These come in the form of the fusée and chain, which is located at the power source, or the remontoir d’égalité, which is typically arranged along the gear train. The Grand Seiko Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon, however, is among the rare few in the market that has a cage-mounted remontoir.
