The self-winding flying tourbillon of the Code 11.59 line, with the carriage exposed at six o'clock. A flying tourbillon is cantilevered — supported only from beneath, with no upper bridge — so the cage appears to turn unsupported. The 3 Hz beat is the usual choice for a tourbillon: a slower balance asks less of the rotating cage and of the mainspring driving it.
