This is a triple-axis tourbillon similar to those found in mechanical watches that are worth more than my life. The basic design mimics those of Thomas Prescher, who to the best of my knowledge, is the only purveyor of triaxial tourbillons that "fly" (ie. are cantilevered) about two axes.

A tourbillon supposedly improves accuracy through eliminating gravitational errors on the balance spring. It also increases both a watch's price and awesomeness on a sliding exponential scale based on the number of axes. This tourbillon utilizes a simple Swiss lever escapement vibrating at 14,400 bph. This is on the slow end by watch standards. The inner two axes run at 3 rpm while the outer ring turns at 1 rpm (provided one properly adjusts the balance with grub screws).
I tried to use the fewest and simplest parts in this design as
