Tourbillon

Okay kiddo, a tourbillon is something that you find in a watch. It's like a little machine that helps the watch run better.

You know how when you spin around really fast, everything around you looks like it's moving slower? That's kind of like what a tourbillon does.

A watch usually has a bunch of little parts that keep it running smoothly, but they can get messed up if the watch is moving around a lot, like if you're playing sports or going on a bumpy ride.

The tourbillon helps prevent that problem. It spins around in the watch and kind of evens things out, so the watch can keep running accurately, even if it's moving around a lot.

It's kind of like a superhero for watches!
