The movementA flying tourbillon turning once a minute around a balance beating 28,800 times an hour. Below: pause (Space), speed from 0.1× to 4×, a scrub across the tourbillon’s minute, and an explode slider that lifts the layers apart while it runs. Click any part for its name and job; the filters light the gear train, the escapement or the tourbillon.

The dialTurn it to the front (D): the About page’s room map under the sapphire, with polished hands that keep the movement’s time. The map moves as the navigator’s does: rest the pointer near the rim of the glass to travel that way, drag on the glass to pan, and pinch or scroll over it to zoom (drag outside the glass to turn the watch). The crowns work as the navigator’s do: − zooms the map out, + zooms in, and the crown at twelve recentres it (press it, or turn it a whole turn). Keys [ and ] zoom, C recentres, Shift + arrows pan.
