Haldimann H2 – flying tourbillon with résonance and remontoir

Collecting · · by Christian Bissener


Haldimann H2 flying tourbillon with a white dial, Roman numerals and two visible escapements

For me the H2 is among the most remarkable tourbillons ever made. It was developed entirely, and made by hand in the true sense of the word, in the atelier of Haldimann.

The flying tourbillon has two escapements, which are set into résonance, and the remontoir is mounted on one of the two escapement wheels.
