Carrousel watches are a design by the Danish watchmaker B. Bonniksen, who registered the patent in 1892 in England. His intention was to create a compromise between the expensive tourbillon and a normal chronometer, he actually achieved better results with his carousel than some of the tourbillons. In 1899 Richard Lange improved the design and received a protection of utility patents D.R.G.M 121267 for it. The escapement in a carrousel with auxiliary seconds turns around itself in 52.5 minutes and thus avoids the variation caused by gravity. This watch is recorded in ‘Die Lange-Liste’ by Martin Huber, Munich 2000.
