The Story: Inspired by the swirl movement of fine watches, the tourbillon ring takes its name from its spiral pattern evoking the timeless elegance and precision of Swiss clocks. The origin of the tourbillon ring dates back to the nineteenth century, when watchmakers created this movement to counteract the effects of gravity on pocket watches. A classic antique jewelry design, the tourbillon ring embodies that same sophistication and technical mastery, capturing the spirit of the passing of time with grace and style.
