Horological Meandering

Do you know of any watches with a hidden tourbillon? One that is invisible from the dial side? Of course, the Laurent Ferrier shown, Patek Philippe had several models, anything else? ...  

The Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual, as well as the Datograph perpetual both have tourbillons hidden on the dial-side. I believe all other references with a tourbillon have them exposed on the dial side.

I understand it’s function to counteract gravity effects, but why do some pieces have this function “hidden” whereas most have a clear aperture showing the tourbillon.🤔

In LF’s case, I believe it must be because the caseback is always the prettier side 🤣🤣

And exactly as Hussam said, I couldn’t imagine the marginal impact of tourbillons on time accuracy to be so significant for that sake alone. Therefore, the technical adornment factor makes the most sense.

I do agree that a LF hides its more attractive side.

...because most brands want to boast that a watch has a tourbillon (most customers want to show that off too). However, there are people and brands that do not need to prove anything to others 😉

I don’t object, but it’s very confusing to me when hidden.

it's a bit like clothing brands like LV, RL, Dior, Gucci, Prada, versus the quiet luxury represented by Loro Piana, Cucinelli, Bottega Venetta

The "dark side of the moon" is a particular favorite
