In the early 1920’s Albert Helwig (1886-1974) invented what is now commonly know as the flying tourbillon. The flying tourbillon is fitted to the plate via the bearing and the carriage is built around the arbor, unlike the regular tourbillon which is fitted to the plate via a bridge. Woldemar Fleck was one of Helwig’s talented students and they made this piece together in 1931.
