It was developed for pocket watches, they were kept in the same position.

With wrist watches your arm already does that job, so a tourbillon is nothing but silly embellishment, serving no purpose.

Makes the watch more susceptible to shocks, so you will never see it in work watches.

  ...but I know today you can get simply fantastic watches for peanuts, so I am curious what the least expensive tourbillon is today.
  
  My guess is $200 neighborhood.

      My partner started buying inexpensive Chinese watches and they are amazing.
      Here is one that I quickly found.
