BaselWorld 2015 - Antoine Preziuso

AHCI member Antoine Preziuso first annunced a triple tourbillon about 10 years ago.  It worked, but wasn't reliable.  Now together with his son Florian, watchmaker and designer, they have announced a new, redeveloped triple tourbillon.  A newly designed differential mechanism supplies each tourbillon with the energy it needs for reliable operation.  This version of the triple troubillon is also much more wearable than the original.  With the hands moved from an offset dial to the middle the size is large, but wearable.  As with the original, the 3 tourbillons are on a rotating platform.  Through this common movement the 3 tourbillons can easily come to resonance.  The whole is quite a show, the 3 tourbillons in lock-step rotating around the dial.

This one goes all the way ... He was once quoted as saying, "I make jewelry for men." Others may claim that they make "wearable art" or whatever, according to their own artistry and creative ingenuity. In this instance, the HANDS are what do it for me! Af... 

How do you decide the weight of each tourbillion's error in...

Connecting them? Or are the errors assumed to average out?

I see 2 possibilities...

either the tourbi's are in resonance, then they are synchronous, there is nothing to average, or they average through the differential. It would be interesting to know how the set the timing of each of the tourbi's. Don
