A closer look at the Astroregulateur with exclusive technical drawings

Apologies for the recent absence my friends, I have been travelling. But I recently obtained several detailed and exclusive technical diagrams of the Astroregulateur which I would like to share. Late last year, at the Cartier Fine Watchmaking Club event, ...

This would appear to do the exact opposite of a tourbillon. Instead of cancelling out gravitational effects by rotating the escapement, this is attempting to keep the escapement in one plane vertically. I guess the question is, do we now have the technolo...
Some thoughts

A tourbillon averages out the gravitational errors since the balance wheel is constantly turning thus gravity acts on every point of it. The Cartier seeks to cancel out gravitational errors since the balance wheel is in a constant vertical position, so an...
